NOTE: Last week, we accidentally sent the ninth edition in our series on the major themes for implementing organizational change found in academic journals. Thank you for those that emailed us about the mistake. Here is the missing Weekly Briefing for the eighth edition. Next week will be the wrap up. We are looking for clues to answer the question, “Why do some men’s discipleship programs succeed while others languish or fail?” For now, I leave it to you to apply these general summaries to your men’s discipleship program. You can also apply the themes more broadly to change your business, your church, or even your family. People resist what they don’t understand. People resist what they don’t like. People resist because, “We tried that before and it didn’t work.” People resist just to resist. People resist for many reasons. We will never successfully plant the flag for men’s discipleship ministry in our churches unless we a) understand the dynamics of resistance and b) proactively plan and deal in love with resisters.
