Podcasts about why men hate going

David Murrow's 2005 book, Why Men Hate Going to Church, was brought up in conversation with my cousin Micah yesterday, and I want to encourage you to read it. The updated and revised version of it from 2011 can be purchased from Amazon here. A good YouTube video summary of it can be found from a speaking event Murrow held at a church in Australia, and you can find that video here. The premise is simple. American churches have a major gender gap. At the time of he first published his book, less than 40% of the adults in churches were men. That means close to two-thirds of churches are made up of women - or at least were 15 years ago. Why do so many more women than men attend most churches? Because American Christianity has made men feel unwelcome. Too many churches cater to women and present a feminized gospel with a Christ who is portrayed as embodying feminine virtues to the exclusion of masculine characteristics. But this, in my view, is evidence that feminism has infected our church culture. The original curse God gave to Eve said that she would have pain in childbirth and that her desire would be to rule over her husband, but he would exercise headship over her. Proverbs tells us that it is better to dwell on the corner of a rooftop than to live with a quarrelsome woman. This being self-evident, many men unfamiliar with the proverb know it instinctively. And when they feel hen-pecked and unwelcome or excluded or marginalized for being masculine men, they opt out. But God has a better design - for the family, the church, the city, state, and nation. And blessing will follow as we embrace that design rather than rebelling against it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

Why is there such a gender gap in the western church today? If you look in the Bible, particularly in the Gospels and the book of Acts you see tons of men involved with the church. Men preaching the gospel. Men risking their lives. Men dying martyr's deaths. Yet, why, when we look at the average church today do we see more women than men? Why do we see mostly women involved with doing the work in churches? Why are so many of the ministries of the church targeting women? David Murrow, author of Why Men Hate Going to Church, and I sit down and talk about these issues, why they exist, and most importantly what to do about it. Additionally, we talk about his new book that he’s been working on that takes a deep look at our addiction to screens.

Over 14 years ago, Pastor Herb Reese noticed a void in the church. There was no lasting ministry to the widows, widowers, and single parents. So he created one - New Commandment Men's Ministries.  New Commandment Men's Ministries helps churches recruit, train, and deploy teams of men to help widows, widowers, and single parents. Herb and the ministry have been described in the monthly publications of Rev Magazine, Leadership Network, Promise Keepers, and Man in the Mirror.  It has been written about in Why Men Hate Going to Church and The Externally Focused Church. In addition, Focus on the Family, Moody Radio, and Daystar Television have broadcast programs about New Commandment. Herb shared: The origin of New Commandment The purpose of the ministry. And how to start your own. Contact info: You can email Herb at Herbreese@yahoo.com You can learn more by visiting his website at Newcommandment.org Resources Please check out his book, Developing A Men's Team Ministry to Widows, Widowers, and Single Parents.

Earlier this year we published an in-depth series about masculinity and the Christian religion — in particular, why it is that in nearly all Christian churches the world over, women outnumber men. One of our sources for that series was a book called "Why Men Hate Going to Church," and on today's show I talk with the author of that book, David Murrow. David and I talk about the significant disparity in the sex ratio of Christian churches, the factors that led to that gender gap, why fewer men in the pews typically leads to an overall decline in congregation attendance, what some churches are doing to make church more “man-friendly," why newer megachurches have been more successful at attracting men than older, smaller churches, and why one branch of Christianity -- Eastern Orthodoxy -- hasn’t suffered the same decline in male attendance that's plagued other traditional denominations. Whether you enjoyed our series on Christianity and manhood, have wondered why you find going to church so unbearable, or simply enjoy discussions on the intersection of faith, culture, and masculinity you’ll love this podcast.
