Where are the Men? w/ David Murrow EP 100
MEET DAVID MURROW It's Sunday morning. Where are the men? Not in church. The average congregation in North America draws an adult crowd that's more than 60% female. Why do men and boys avoid church? And why do churchgoing men seem so passive and bored? David Murrow has dedicated his life to answering these questions. He's the author of the best-selling book Why Men Hate Going to Church, with more than 150,000 copies in print in 12 languages. He's helped thousands of churches around the world attract, retain and empower men. Murrow is an entertaining speaker who handles this taboo subject with humor and grace. He's a television producer and writer by trade, and brings strong visual content to his presentation. You'll never see church the same way again. Murrow lives with his wife of 33 years, Gina Medaris Murrow, in the bustling metropolis of Chugiak, Alaska. http://churchformen.com Get Your Copy Now! of Tell Them, What Great Fathers Tell Their Sons and Daughters www.meninthearena.org Men in the Arena Books and Swag Support the Podcast

The 3 Core Purposes of the Man Who is Wild at Heart w/ John Eldredge, EP 94
In one of our legacy episodes (published under the name The Man Card Podcast and ministry name The Great Hunt for God) bestselling author John Eldredge joined Jim Ramos to discuss his book Wild at Heart. They talk you through the three purposes of every man. Every man lives to have an Adventure to live, a Beauty to rescue, and a Battle to fight. John Eldredge is an American author, counselor, and lecturer on Christianity. He is known for his bestselling book Wild at Heart. Eldredge describes himself, "I'm 55. I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. My wife Stasi and I have three sons. My graduate degree is in counseling. Professionally, I'm a writer and a speaker. I don't pastor. I'm not a preacher. I don't have a church that I lead." While living in Los Angeles Eldredge was looking for a "worldview." After exploring other religions, Eastern mysticism, Lao-Tzu, and New Age spirituality, he discovered the writings of Francis Schaeffer, whom he calls one of the best philosophers of the 20th century. Through Schaeffer, Eldredge came to Christ and later to the church. He eventually got a master's degree in counseling and practiced in Colorado Springs before working for Focus on the Family, where he served as Senior Fellow for Christian Worldview. John received his undergraduate degree in theater from California Polytechnic University (Pomona) and his MA in biblical counseling from Colorado Christian Universityunder the direction of Dr. Larry Crabb and Dr. Dan Allender. Prior to joining Focus on the Family in 1988, John served for five years on the staff of Sierra Madre Congregational Church in Southern California. In July 2000, John left Focus on the Family, where he worked for 12 years, to launch Ransomed Heart Ministries. John travels extensively in the U.S. and abroad. John, his wife, Stasi, and their three sons live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In addition to publishing many books, he has produced three videos: Risky Business: A Look at Gambling, Whatever Happened to Marriage?: A Look at Divorce, and Created Different?: A Look at Homosexuality. https://www.ransomedheart.com
