We're all bruised, broken, damaged: Some a little, some a lot. Some by others, some by our own actions. Fortunately our God meets us where we are, and works with us regardless of our perceived shortcomings or brokenness. This blog is less about that, though, and more about interesting facts, data, comments, tricks and tips I collect from all over the web. Hope you find something useful here too :) Go to www.thepaulnetwork.com to check out my Men's Ministry :)

How To Find A Man-Friendly Church
How To Find A Man-Friendly Church: How to Find a Man-Friendly Church
Are you looking for a church that understands men? Do you want to help your congregation become a guy magnet?
A number of studies have revealed the kinds of churches that tend to attract men. Based on this research, I’ve identified twelve characteristics of a man-friendly church.
Before we begin: a caveat. No single model of church will appeal to every man. As you read this article you may shake your head and think, “I can’t stand those kinds of churches,” or “My husband visited a church like that and he hated it.”
I must also mention that none of these 12 things matter as much as the authentic presence of God. I often tell groups, "If the Spirit of God is moving, it won't matter to men if the pastor is wearing a pink ballerina's tutu. Men are drawn to the real Jesus."

Andy Stanley: My Formula For Preaching
rev.org: My Formula For Preaching: This outlining method is built around the communicator's relationship with the audience rather than content. After all, the way we organize material on paper is very different from how we process information in a conversation. (Try outlining a conversation with your spouse.) For that reason, this method allows the message to retain a conversational quality.
The outline revolves around five words, each of which represents a section of the message. They are: ME, WE, GOD, YOU, WE.
