Synopsis

From a bestselling author and pastor, a straight-talk, no-nonsense guide to becoming the man God calls you to be.   

We’ve all seen the headlines. Masculinity is in crisis. Men are lost. What’s the matter with men? We are confused about what masculinity is and what roles men play in our culture.

Manhood, says Joby Martin, is harder than ever because we have forgotten what true masculinity looks like. Real, Biblical manhood is not about driving big trucks, having the biggest guns, or hunting the biggest buck. (Though he’s a big fan of all of those, truth be told.) True men of God surrender themselves before the cross, serve and lead their families, put on the full armor of God, and stand guard against the lies that threaten to tear our churches and our culture apart.  

In this book, Pastor Joby walks through what the Bible means when it says, ‘be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong, and let all that you do be done in love’ (1 Corinthians 16:13). He guides readers through what scripture says about who men are, how they should act, and what it means to be a man in today’s culture, and he asks tough questions about how God calls men to respond.

Stand Firm and Act Like Men is a call for men to rediscover Biblical manhood in their churches and cities, and to love, serve, and support their families and one another.

About Joby Martin

Joby Martin is a storyteller, preacher, and seeker who believes that the ordinary moments of life often carry extraordinary meaning. As founder and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, Florida, Joby has nurtured a movement built on radical grace, vibrant worship, and the conviction that faith is for real life, not just Sunday mornings.

Raised in a family with loose ties to faith, Joby encountered Christ in a summer camp setting - an experience that would redirect his path. He initially planned to pursue medicine, but a growing sense of calling drew him toward pastoral ministry instead. Over time, he became an "accidental church planter," launching Eleven22 in 2012 - a church that has since grown into multiple campuses and a hub for church planting efforts.

As an author, Joby is unafraid to ask bold questions. In If the Tomb Is Empty, he explores what the resurrection means for possibility. In Anything Is Possible, he reexamines the miracles of Jesus and invites readers to live with both awe and expectation.

This is not just a book for men. It’s also for if you’re married to a man, hoping to raise a boy into a biblical man, or a single woman wanting to know what she needs to look for in a man to biblically read her. This book is much needed in a world where the church can sometimes pander around the tru......more

In an age with the hyper feminization of men and on the other extreme you have toxic masculinity, Joby breaks down how he see's scripture break down manhood and why its essentially for a heathy society. He calls out the unhealthy and sinful mindsets that men fall into that ultimately hurt themselves......more

Goodreads review by Matt on October 23, 2025

This book has A LOT of really good Gospel Truth and principles. That part of the book I really liked. However, it felt like the delivery and packaging of these Truths and principles was very poor. What the author claimed to be “boldness” and “directness” bordered on abrasiveness at times. And this i......more
