“Despite the obvious need for developing men as leaders in their homes and local churches, Studies have shown that few men will change based on hearing or obtaining information such as what they might receive in a typical church service. The majority of men will make needed changes in their lives only after they have experienced intimate relationships with God and other Christian men. Sadly, the same Studies have also shown that the average man in the church has few or no close Christian friends. Unfortunately, men tend to isolate themselves from close and meaningful relationships.”
