Men need time and safety in order to develop authentic relationships with other men, 3. Men Need to be Challenged. Men grow up with challenges. In school it's the big exam. In athletics it's the big game.
Men expect to be challenged.
In the Gospels we see Jesus over and over again drawing a line in the sand and daring the disciples to meet Him on His side. It's no different today. Men aren't interested in a ministry that gets together to chew the fat. They want to be challenged to act, pray, behave and think in a way that glorifies God. Men Need to Get to the Point.
