5 Big Challenges Every Men’s Ministry Leader Faces (and How to Overcome Them)
When I talk with other men’s leaders, the same questions seem to come up again and again. They’re the same questions I wrestle with myself. How do I help guys care more about their spiritual lives? How do we reach young men? How do we build authentic community where men talk about real struggles? And how do I help my pastor see that men’s ministry isn’t just “another program,” but a vital piece of the church’s mission? If you’ve ever…
How Men’s Leaders Grow Strong Ministries by Returning to the Fundamentals
If you want deeper impact with your men, start by going deeper with God.” Every men’s ministry leader wants a ministry that actually changes lives. The shortcut we often chase is novelty. A new program. A new leadership book or podcast. A louder event. A slicker calendar. The path God gives us is older and stronger: seek the Lord, stay in the Scriptures, and pray with consistency.

You may have had a friend or family member explain things to you, you might have prayed a prayer, you could have walked forward at a church service, or simply cried out to God in your heart. However it happened, you knew that something inside you shifted. This moment can be described in many ways: being saved, receiving Jesus as your Lord and Savior, beginning…
Serving in the Body When No One Claps
The Big idea: Hidden faithfulness is greatness. Texts: 1 Corinthians 12; Matthew 6:1–4. Hook: Pick one unseen service for the next month. Serving in the Body When No One Claps There is a kind of quiet greatness that never touches a microphone. It shows up early, stays late, and leaves the room cleaner than it found it. Most people never notice. God does. The same Lord Jesus Christ who rose from the dead and reigns over all, has told us…
