The Church Resource

In this episode of The Church Resource, Lucas Pinckard and Dr. Chris Respass tackle one of the most frustrating challenges in church life: men's ministry. Why do so many men stop showing up? Why do women's Bible studies thrive while men struggle to stay engaged? They unpack the problems with hyper-aggressive, "macho" ministry models and challenge the idea that manhood is about appearances, strength, or bravado. Instead, they explore a biblical vision of masculinity built on four key roles: priest, prophet, protector, and provider.
