"How We’re Failing Boys and Creating Destructive Men”
by Dr. Stan Archie
We are killing him slowly—and don’t even know it.
Every time we praise a boy without teaching him responsibility… Every time we ignore a man's need for respect and call it love… Every time we feminize strength instead of refining it—we are damaging manhood at its core. In The Currency of Manhood, Dr. Stan Archie delivers a piercing, timely call to rebuild what culture has quietly destroyed. With clinical clarity, biblical wisdom, and real-world experience, this book exposes how generations of boys have been left unformed—and how that brokenness is producing dangerous men. It’s not too late. Through accountability, fatherhood, mentorship, and truth, we can restore what’s been lost. If respect is the currency of manhood, it’s time we stop bankrupting our sons.
