Champions for Men in the Local church: We spend our final segment talking about a job description for the guy who moves men in the local church. Here are some highlights:
- Clear testimony of salvation
- Walking under the lordship of Christ
- A discipled discipler
- Great Commission vision
- Heart for men
- A man who’s frustrated by sin, but not shocked by it.
- Capacity to ‘come alongside’ another man as to coach, encourage and hold accountable.
- Willing to listen to another man’s story. Must be a good listener.
- Organized enough to approach men.
- Transparent about his own flaws
- Authentic man who is honest about where he has been and who he has been while learning into his new identity in Christ.
- A man who is approachable with a winsome witness that invites others.
We could have gone on and on with these comments, but the time passed quickly! Happy Thanksgiving, men! I look forward to being on a call you again Thursday, December 12th at 7PM.
