Episode notes

We’re jumping into Betterman’s first track session from the recent Nashville City Tour, and we’ve got Chris Harper talking about Men, Manhood, and Faith. Chris tells us about the importance of journeying back to God's original design for manhood and masculinity. In case you haven’t noticed, our culture has time and time again tried to confuse men about what masculinity should look like. These culture changes have influenced the role of men within both family and the church. And as followers of Jesus, we need to return to Scripture to dictate what a REAL man is. Today Chris is going to give you some actionable steps to better engage and support men in their spiritual journeys, through the lens of worship, discipleship, and the significance of encouraging men within the church community.

Registration for our upcoming event – National Disciple Making Forum (Disciple Making Culture).
