You Can Become the Man God Created You to Be
The Christian Man Mentoring Experience will equip you to serve as mentor—or be mentored by—another man. We have designed the program to be as easy as possible, providing resources to remove all the guess work from the mentoring process so that you can focus on what’s really important. I believe that this experience will radically change your life.
Will you invest in God’s Plan A?

The Antidote for Burnout
This time of year can be challenging for a men’s leadership team and for the individuals on it. Most ministry activity grinds to a halt for several weeks, and leadership teams take a break.

How to Make The Best Men’s Small Group

Why I Am So Passionate About Helping Men
When I reached out my hand and opened the front door, the men in that church were ready for me. They understood the sanctity of that moment—all the spiritual forces of evil at work to prevent it, and all the prayers of my wife and others to make it happen.
Ideas for Men’s Ministry Leaders to Discuss
We’ve worked with thousands of churches, and many would agree it’s hard to stop long enough to reflect on how their mission to make disciples is going.
Here are nine ideas for you to use as discussion-starters at your next several leadership meetings.

As I was praying, I started thinking about all the much bigger problems in the world, of which there are many. Just as I was about to negotiate against myself and downgrade our original request, the Lord spoke to my heart and asked, “Do you trust me?” None of the teaching on prayer works unless we trust God…
Keeping Your Discipleship Engine Running
In the No Man Left Behind Model, sustaining momentum is the third “gear” in the engine that runs the “conveyor belt.” The conveyor belt can’t stand still; it needs to keep men moving forward in their spiritual journey…
What Is the Most Important Thing You Can Do In Your Relationship With God?
One day Steve sent me an email and asked, “Pat, what is the most important thing a man can do in his relationship with God?”
What Kind of Ministry Is Best for You?
When I changed careers from business to ministry, I had a decision to make. Did God want me to build a ministry based solely on my individual contributions as a teacher, speaker, and writer?
