Leading Men - Are they Different?
Wendell Morton
Leading men is different than leading women, youth, or children. The most important opportunity in the church is to guide men into their role as disciple-makers to lead their families, impact their community, share their stories in the marketplace, and of course transform their local church. As we do so we touch generations yet to be born (Psalm 78).
