In today’s episode, we unpack the visual nature of men. Like it or not, believe it or not, there are differences between males and females. Male brains are physically different from female brains. But this isn’t a science program. We want to focus on just one primary difference: men are hardwired with more capacity for visual processing than women. But what does this mean and what are we to do about it? Listen in as we unpack how to understand the visual nature of men and how men can steward this reality in a God-honoring way. Much of this conversation was born out of Shaunti Feldhahn’s book, Through a Man’s Eyes. You can get her book on Amazon.com or any other book distributor.
