Open your mouth… and say “ahhhh.”
I recently met someone who was curious about the ministry of Men Living Up. We scheduled a lunch meeting for he and his accountability partner so that we would have enough time to tell the full story.

Why Men Hate Going to Church
I’ve been reading David Murrow’s, “Why Men Hate Going to Church.” This is an excellent read. It will cause you to stop a moment and look around your church and ask, “where are all of the men?” According to the surveys the average church has 40 men for every 60 women. Some churches I’ve been [...]
