Discover the seriesEvery house
leaves something
in its sons.
Our name begins with Laban, the father of Rachel and Leah. From that biblical household, we imagine a room for the sons: men considering the expectations they inherited and the lives they might make of them.
In our telling, the sons return to a shared table. They bring different understandings of strength, beauty, belonging, and love. Their inheritance is a starting point for conversation, with each man responsible for the voice he brings.
House of Laban holds those conversations within Ebony Reign, a publication centered on women. Men can examine their own stories while listening to the women whose lives meet theirs.
Read the imagined prologueA creative narrative inspired by Genesis. Genesis 29:16 names Rachel and Leah as Laban’s daughters; Genesis 31:1 mentions his sons. The personalities, conversations, and return to the table imagined here are original fiction.
What will you carry?
What will you change?
The lessons, loyalties, and expectations we receive before we can name them.
The ways we understand and express ourselves, including the parts that do not fit familiar expectations.
The choices we make about character, connection, and the people we want to be.
More than one way
to be a man.
This room welcomes varied male voices, including those often left outside conventional ideas of masculinity. Each contributor defines his own perspective. Curiosity, care, and respect for women belong in every conversation.
