Exploring True Manhood: Bill Delvaux on Faith, Fear, and the Heroic Path



Redefining Heroes: Bill Delvaux Talks Masculinity, Fear, and Spiritual Growth

Today we're joined by the insightful and inspiring Bill Delvaux. In this episode, we dive deep into the intention behind our "man up" questions, with Bill sharing his personal struggles with fear and anxiety, despite his celebrated work on heroism. Bill Delvaux, author of "Heroic: The Surprising Path to True Manhood," offers a profound look into the journey of seeking heroism, influenced by his unique upbringing and lack of a father figure. We'll explore the transformation from seeking strength to embodying wisdom and nobility, and the importance of viewing heroism through the lens of Christ.


Bill also discusses the common misconceptions about masculinity, stressing the need for emotional depth and connection. He shares personal stories, including the powerful moment of God calling him "My treasure," which reshaped his self-worth. Together, we unpack the redemptive path of Christianity, and how following Jesus can lead all men to heroism.

Bill Delvaux has been involved in pastoral ministry as a youth minister and church planter, having studied at Duke University and the Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

 

In 1992, Bill took a position teaching Bible at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, TN. During that time, he also coached the varsity boys track and cross-country teams.  This is where Bill found his quest for the next twenty years: connecting the truths of the Bible to the hearts of high school students. But as he took the quest, he found those same truths connecting to his own heart in unexpected ways.

 

So, he began a new quest, connecting the truths of the Bible to a larger audience. Despite his fear and initial objections, in 2012, he left full-time teaching to begin Landmark Journey Ministries.

 

Bill has been married to his wife, Heidi, for 33 years, and they have two amazing daughters, Abigail and Rachel.
