Where Are All the Godly Men?

Where Are All the Godly Men?

If you are a Christian woman who genuinely wants a godly husband and it feels like those men do not exist anymore — this episode is honest about why and what to do about it.

In this episode, I break down why so many Christian women struggle to find godly men, what the Bible says about masculinity and what has gone wrong, and what a woman of faith can actually do about it.

In this episode:
• Why genuine biblical masculinity has become rare — and what the church's role in that is
• What the Bible says about the kind of man worth waiting for — and what should be non-negotiable
• What a Christian woman can actually do while waiting that is productive rather than passive

Walk & Warfare exists to answer the hard questions about faith, suffering, doubt, salvation, and what it actually looks like to follow Christ in the world we live in today. No fluff. No performance. Just real biblical answers for real people.

Anthony Jennings founded Walk & Warfare to give believers — and seekers — a place to wrestle honestly with the Bible and come out with something they can stand on.

It's a question many people ask today. Where are all the godly men? Some women ask it while hoping to find a husband who genuinely follows Christ. Some churches ask it while looking for men willing to lead, serve, and step into responsibility, and many men quietly ask it about themselves. Am I the kind of man God wants me to be? The Bible never suggests that godly men will be the majority in every generation. In fact, throughout Scripture, faithful men were often the minority. But the Bible does describe what godly character actually looks like. A godly man is not defined by charisma, success, or outward strength. He is defined by his willingness to submit his life to God. Psalm 1 describes a man who delights in the law of the Lord and meditates on it day and night. His strength comes from being rooted in God's truth. The Bible also emphasizes humility. Micah 6 8 says, He has told you, O man, what is good, to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God. A godly man is not perfect, but he is teachable. He admits when he is wrong. He takes responsibility for his actions, and he continues growing in maturity. The New Testament also highlights another important quality sacrificial love. Ephesians 5 25 says, Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. The standard is not dominance or control. It is Christ-like love, a love that protects, serves, and places the good of others first. One reason the question where are the godly men is asked so often is because cultural expectations of masculinity have shifted. Some messages encourage passivity, others encourage selfish ambition, but the Bible calls men to something deeper. Responsibility, integrity, faithfulness, courage, not perfection, but direction. Godly men are not men who never struggle. They are men who continue turning toward God even while they grow. And often the answer to the question, Where are the godly men? begins with a quieter question What would it look like for me to become one? Because every generation needs men who are willing to walk that path.
