Zachary Wagner
Writer | Researcher | Ordained Minister | Editorial Director - Center for Pastor Theologians
Zachary Wagner is a writer, researcher, ordained minister––thinker of thoughts and feeler of feelings. Originally from the Chicagoland area, he now lives in Oxford, England, where he is pursuing a DPhil (PhD) in New Testament studies at Keble College, University of Oxford. He also serves as the editorial director of the Center for Pastor Theologians, where he co-hosts the CPT Podcast. His research interests include economics in the ancient world, divine wages in Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity, Pauline epistles, the Gospel of Matthew, and New Testament masculinities. His first book, Non-Toxic Masculinity: Recovering Healthy Male Sexuality, was published in 2023 with Intervarsity Press. Zach’s other writing interests include evangelical and “post-vangelical” Christian discipleship, theological formation, and speaking against church-based abuse.
Non-Toxic Masculinity: Recovering Healthy Male Sexuality
Dismissals such as "boys will be boys" and "not all men" are ingrained in our world. And the purity culture of our youth sold the same excuses with a spiritual spin. Can we break the toxic cycle and recover a healthy identity for men?
In Non-Toxic Masculinity, Zachary Wagner tells men, "If you are in Christ, this is your problem―and you should be part of the solution."
Reflecting on his own coming of age in the purity culture movement and ongoing recovery from sexual shame, Wagner confronts harmful teaching from the American church that has distorted desire, sex, relationships, and responsibility. For those―both men and women―who feel disillusioned and adrift, this book offers a renewed vision for Christian male sexuality founded in empathy and selflessness.

The Path to Purpose
What is God’s will for your life?
Have you prayed any of these prayers lately?
* God, how do you want to use me for your kingdom?
* Lord, what areas in my life do I need to give control back to you?
* Father, show me your will.
As Christians, we long to know Jesus more and more, and once we meet him we can’t help but to be changed.
But living as a Christian today can be challenging, and it can be difficult to know the path we should take that most honors God in our lives.
Thank God that Jesus’ wisdom was recorded for us.
Our book, The Path to Purpose, takes a closer look at the Sermon on the Mount and how Jesus’ timeless truth can help you discover God’s will for your life.
