Most churches want to reach men—but very few actually know how.

In this conversation with Chris Harper (Chief Storyteller at Better Man), we're taking a deep dive into mens ministry and the broader men's leadership space, exploring how you can cultivate christian manhood and grow in your faith. This series will help you understand what it truly means to be a christian man.

Chris shares insights from equipping over 7,500 churches and 1 million men, unpacking the real crisis underneath modern masculinity: not passivity—but ignorance, lack of guidance, and the absence of spiritual fathers.

In this episode, we cover:
- Why men have left the church—and why the church has also left men
- The shift from “passivity” to “ignorance” in today’s men
- The importance of clarity and community in forming men
- What churches get wrong about men’s ministry
- Why the senior pastor’s presence changes everything
