Jesus’ method for transforming men was disciple making and that is what men’s ministry is all about! Jesus called us to not only be disciples but to disciple others. But the sad truth is that most men have never been discipled.
Q. How do you make disciples?
To make disciples we have found that it requires a proven pathway that helps men develop a closer walk with God. And the proven pathway that we use is Every Man a Warrior.
Q. What is Every Man a Warrior?
Every Man a Warrior is a men’s discipleship curriculum that consists of a three-book series that is designed to be experienced with a small group of men. This webpage is designed to help you in this journey by providing you with links to supplemental materials, tools, videos, etc. For complete information visit the Every Man a Warrior webpage here.
Q. What am I committing to?
Men that engage in an Every Man a Warrior small group should plan on investing 30-minutes every morning developing an intimate walk with God during their Quiet Time.
Your time will be devoted to a combination of bible study, meditation, prayer, journaling, and scripture memorization. In addition you will be meeting with your group for 1.5 hrs every week for accountability and encouragement.
Your investment of time will connect your heart to God like never before and transform your life. But please understand that the greater your investment of time the greater will be your eternal rewards!
