On Christ and Masculinity
Casey Hough
Casey Hough joins us to talk about his recent book, When Poets Were Warriors: Retrieving a Biblical Vision of Masculinity (B&H Publishing, 2025). “Masculinity” is an increasingly popular subject for public discourse. Drawing on his experiences as a pastor and father, Hough argues that Christians ought to return to the complex and challenging example of Jesus, instead of relying on cultural stereotypes, to form our vision of masculinity. If we consider Jesus Christ to be a model for masculinity, how do we then think about femininity, and any differences or similarities between the two? What should pastors consider as they shape their discipleship ministries? This and more on today’s episode!
Casey B. Hough (Ph.D., New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary) currently serves as director of Partnerships and Curriculum at World Hope Ministries International and assistant professor of Biblical Interpretation at Luther Rice College & Seminary. Before moving to World Hope, Casey served in pastoral ministry for 16 years. He and his wife, Hannah, have five children and live in Houston, Texas. Casey is a member of the St. Peter Fellowship of the Center for Pastor Theologians.
