Guest: John Richardson, executive pastor of discipleship at First Free Church Introduction: Keep men’s ministry alive and thriving as you build a platform for it, lead through teams, and prepare men for leadership. Summary: In a program approach to men’s ministry, the program is often defined by the interests and talents of the leader. When that leader moves on, it’s easy for the program to die. Thinking about men’s ministry as a platform created around shared values, helps a church provide long-term, ongoing ministry. Classes and groups can have a healthy life cycle. It’s okay if one doesn’t keep going because there will be others that are still based on the same values. The values become part of the DNA of the men involved in that ministry. When classes and groups are led by teams rather than a single leader, responsibilities can be shared and if one person steps out, the rest of the team is still in place. Define 3-
