What is the greatest problem facing men today? It is the same problem that faces the church and men's ministries. As a whole, the church is not making disciples. We have a great problem in the church today. An executive in a major denomination said one day, "Our churches are not making disciples." But that's not the real problem. The real problem is - we think we are. So what? Most men only know enough about God to be disappointed with him. They listen to the sermons, they try to do the right things, they have it in their hearts to be faithful Christians, but they don't have much joy, and certainly lack victory over sinful habits. They feel a sense of shame. That's because they have never actually been "educated" about what it means to "be" Christian. They are not disciples.
