Ep 16: Is Church Just for Women & Children?

Video
Men’s Alliance

Many churches today have surrendered the battleground of men's hearts and focused instead on bringing in a demographic that's easier to attract - kids.  This mistake has led to the feminization of church. It's time for the church to meet men where they are by un-bundling the message of Jesus from the routine of "going to church." "When a mother comes to Christ, her family will join her at church only 17% of the time; but when a father comes to Christ, his family joins him 93% of the time." - WACMM.org Find your tribe at mensalliancetribe.com  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
