The problem is...

I recently spoke about a comment I heard about the "problem with men in the church today" is that they don't know enough scripture.  My friend challenged me in my lack of priority for scriptural understanding on behalf of our men.  I shared that in my opinion the problem isn't that men don't know enough scripture.  The problem I see is that men who are passionate and have experienced the power of scripture either are incapable or don't have clear access to sharing that with other men.

To me, that is the problem.  Not just about scripture, but with a lack of sharing in experience, reason, and tradition of our faith.

The solution?

A vibrant community of men who identify and activate their gifts, passion, and relationship in order to connect with one another in growing is discipleship of Christ.

The scripture problem, the reason problem, the experience problem and the tradition  problem with work itself out if we address the identifying and activating problem.
