3 Principles for Meaningful Men’s Ministry
Article Barnabas Piper Three things are required to begin and to maintain a practice and priority of such honesty. Men’s ministry, especially when starting out in a church plant, needs a clear trajectory and culture. It needs to have an objective: what is this ministry for? If the objective is to draw men nearer to Jesus and closer to one another (as it should be) then a core tent of the ministry needs to be honesty.
The Gospel vs. Legalism in Men’s Ministry
Article Barnabas Piper When men’s ministry emphasizes do and grow and leans into habits and practices and effort, what is impressed on men’s hearts is that they must achieve or succeed or improve to such a degree that God will be pleased with them. Every good pastor and church planter wants to see men grow–grow in their faith, grow in character, grow in discipline, grow in maturity. We want to see them grow as husbands, or in readiness to be husbands.
Fellowship, Belonging, and What to Do if Your Church Stinks at Both
Check out Barnabas Piper's newest book,Belong: Loving Your Church by Reflecting Christ to One Another, for more on how to build authentic Christian fellowship and belonging in the church. If you are like me, there is little correlation between stereotypical church fellowship and finding a place where you truly belong (what we are looking for in a church). “Fellowship” has been relegated to potlucks and pancake breakfasts and forced fun and icebreaker games.
