Is “Men’s Ministry” still a thing?
Is it still relevant? Do we even need it?
Here at Impactus, we like referring to this area as “Ministry to Men,” and that’s more than just semantics. We need a new understanding that men need ministry, not just programs, and that men are called to do ministry in their churches and communities.
On this podcast, we’re delighted to have one of the most recognizable names in Ministry to Men back with us: Steve Sonderman.
Steve is highly regarded as one of the pioneers of the men’s ministry movement in America. He started one of the first men’s ministries in the country for the growing church population at Elmbrook Church in Brookfield, Wisconsin. He is the founder of the national No Regrets Men’s Ministries and the annual No Regrets Men’s Conference, which today draws thousands of men across the country and around the world.
Steve regularly consults with churches and leaders and has authored books on leadership and curriculum studies for men. Steve and his wife, Colleen, have four grown children and are proud grandparents.
If you are part of a Men’s Ministry or a leader in one, then this conversation is for you, as we jump into topics like:
- The challenges of the “man crisis” that we can see in our culture and churches
- The impact that can happen when a man gets truly mobilized in his faith
- How we can embrace a “multiplication mindset” when ministering to men and why it’s so crucial
- Why “apprenticeship” is so important in Men’s Ministry, and what are some of the ways we can engage in it
- The difference between “knowledge-based” discipleship and “obedience-based” discipleship
- In our challenging cultural moment, what reasons we can have to be hopeful and excited about what God is up to
- The various amazing things that Steve is seeing God do in the lives of men all around the world
