Speaker 1: Anytime you're silent about your struggles, it festers in you
0:06
Speaker 1: like a cancer. To be able to come out as
0:09
Speaker 1: a man and verbalize and say I'm not Superman, I'm
0:11
Speaker 1: really Clark Kent, you know. Don't let the boots and
0:14
Speaker 1: the cape fool you. Beneath all of this, there's a
0:16
Speaker 1: guy who's struggling, who's uncertain, who's then secure, who's aging
0:20
Speaker 1: or can't find a job, or just got out of prison,
0:24
Speaker 1: or emotionally or sexually dysfunctional in some way. To be
0:27
Speaker 1: able to have that said and people not reject you
0:32
Speaker 1: is a powerful thing. People are very a friend in church,
0:35
Speaker 1: because the church, for all of its claims to be
0:37
Speaker 1: a hospital, can be an elitist club of yuppies who
0:42
Speaker 1: suggest that they have arrived. And there you are in
0:45
Speaker 1: a situation where you're intimidated to be open in a
0:49
Speaker 1: place of healing. I tried to create an atmosphere where
0:53
Speaker 1: men could come and be transparent about their needs and
0:56
Speaker 1: receive ministry without intimidation.
