Why a Masculine Ministry Rose and Fell

Let me start with a brief story about a nearly lost man and the simple thing that saved him. Three years ago I was on the road for work, and I was picked up at the airport by a young guy who looked like a vet. We had a ninety-minute trip to the speaking venue, and so we struck up a conversation. I asked him if he served. He said yes. I asked him if he deployed. He said yes, to Afghanistan. I asked how he was fitting in after he came back home. He got quiet for a moment. He said, "Have you heard of Jordan Peterson?" I said yes, absolutely. In fact, I'd just reviewed his book for National Review. "Well, Jordan Peterson saved my life."
