Mastering Masculinity

Jason Wilson’s rite of passage combines martial arts, emotional stability, and lessons from the Bible.

Christianity Today November 21, 2025

Six years ago, Jason Wilson taught men how to cry. These days, he’s also training boys to fight—not just on the outside but from within.

Wilson teaches young men martial arts and emotional stability at The Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy in Detroit. Editorial director Sho Baraka visited the ministry, where he saw a man who carried compassion in a brawny frame integrate contemplation with lessons from jujitsu and the Bible.

In this video from Christianity Today’s Big Tent Initiative, Baraka interviews Wilson about masculinity, emotional incarceration, and the meaning of being a “comprehensive man.” Baraka also talks to participants in Wilson’s emotional-stability training, which aims to help young men survive this predatory world and, more importantly, themselves.
