How to Speak Man: A Brief Tutorial for Church Leaders Who Want to Reach Men

Last updated on: May 13, 2016 at 11:20 am By Tim Wright

Men and women are equal. Men and women are different. That’s my starting point. If you can live with that, then I invite you to continue on. It’s no secret that men have dropped out of the Christian Church in droves. It’s no secret that homes without dads face higher rates of poverty, the kids suffer more emotionally, and are more likely to be held back in school. It’s no secret that the US prison population is made up of... Read more

Bathrooms, Male Stereotypes, and Granddaughters

Last updated on: May 11, 2016 at 2:33 pm By Tim Wright

Potty talk has moved front and center in the national debate. And I’m not talking about the Presidential campaign. I’m referring to the bathroom wars. On the one side is the state of North Carolina, passing a law restricting people to public restrooms of their gender biology. On the other side are companies like Target, opening up their bathrooms to gender identity. Finding themselves in the middle of the battle are men…and more specifically, stereotypes about men. The biggest fear... Read more

Beware! Jesus Only Serves Sinners

Last updated on: April 7, 2016 at 3:19 pm By Tim Wright

I have come to call not the righteous, but sinners! —Jesus An old proverb says: If you want to know what a person is like, look at his/her friends. Time and again Jesus was caught hanging with the wrong kinds of people. After calling a tax collector to be one of his followers, that tax collector, Matthew, invited a bunch of his tax collector buddies to dinner to meet Jesus. Tax collectors were among the most despised people in all... Read more
