You want men to experience deep faith and authentic relationships. Giving them the opportunity to tell their stories is one of the most powerful practices your ministry can implement. Why? Sharing our testimonies connects us in three ways…
As leaders, we can work toward building the most dynamic, discipleship-based ministry to men, and forget that right outside our church doors, there are thousands of lost men who still need someone to tell them about Christ.
All around us, men are engaged in a different kind of warfare—no less real than what these soldiers faced and no less damaging. What’s extraordinary is that we have been given the sacred opportunity to fight for them and with them.
Church shouldn’t be a safe haven for abusers to continue in their abuse but instead the safest place for the abused. As shepherds, once we see a wolf, we are to drive it away. We’re called to care for the sheep, even at risk to ourselves.
Jesus spoke about a lost sheep and how the shepherd left 99 sheep to go find that one. When the shepherd pays a high price to find the one, he offers the profoundest security and worth to the many. Because the one matters, you matter.
We’ve made a huge amount of progress in this country, but racism is still a very thick wall. The problem might seem so complex that we feel powerless, but is there something we can do on an individual level—or even as men’s leaders?
In any church, ministry resources are finite—time, money, and people. Because of this, leaders can begin to feel overlooked or, worse, competitive with other ministry leaders. So what can we do to overcome turf battles in the church?
Several weeks into the The Christian Man Mentoring Experience, we asked the pairs of men to share how the process was impacting them so far.
The jokes about people forgetting their New Year’s Resolutions quickly abound, but the exercise of thinking through your next year and setting goals is still important. I’ve begun to, instead of resolutions, create annual goals.
A wide range of emotions are experienced at Christmastime. We often think about it as a time of great joy, but it can also magnify the pain of the human heart. So how does the “Christmas story” in the Bible speak to this reality?
In Mark 2, we see a man’s life radically changed because friends thought it was worth the sacrifice to bring him to Jesus. How did they do it? From his friends, leaders learn four things that help them bring men to Jesus and disciple them.
As a leader, you want to see the men in your church leading powerful, transformed lives. And we want to help! Here are some suggested steps for launching a men’s mentoring movement in your church.
Since 1986, Man in the Mirror has worked with more than 35,000 churches and millions of men with the goal of seeing every man reflect honestly, pursue God wholeheartedly, and live vibrantly. To this end, we equip Christian men around the world to engage in meaningful relationships that change lives and build the kingdom of God.
