Four Essentials for Ministering to Men

Podcast Episode #303Men's ministry is lacking in many churches, so today we cover the four essentials churches should consider when launching or sustaining a men's ministry. This episode is based on a blog post by Eric Geiger and walks you through these four essentials with practical application focused on ministering to men.Some highlights from today's episode include: * Every man needs godly men connecting him to the church. * I cannot imagine going through life without having a purpose or mission. * Every man wants to be a part of something that is bigger than himself. * With new ministries, find a champion and resource them toward a specific mission. * One of the greatest needs in the church is to understand the big picture of Scripture. * Churches truly can have dynamic ministries to men by men. Many don't.The four essentials we cover for ministering to men are: * Connected: Every man needs other godly men (Hebrews 10:24-25). * Discipled: Every man needs to grow (Colossians 1:28-29). * Challenged: Every man needs a holy mission (2 Corinthians 5:18). * Transformed: Every man has a master (2 Corinthians 3:17-18).Episode SponsorsAre you getting prepared for the changing ministry landscape?
