We Need Your Best Stuff!
As our friends from Modomo work on bending the Drupal Totally Cool Open Source Content Management System (see the previous post) to their will, one of the main components is the Best Practices & Resources Center, or as we like to call it, the BP&R. The idea is to gather the best ideas, resources and materials in one place so leaders can find it.
This is where you come in…
We will populate the BP&R with materials that you - the leaders that use disciplemen.com - provide us. Have you used a great book in your small group? (Like Twelve Ordinary Men, or Point Man?)We want to know about it. Have you organized a really cool event at your church that helped move men into discipleship? (Like a men’s retreat or an adventure dinner?) How did you do it? Have you worked with a parachurch ministry that really gave your ministry to men a boost? (Like Men’s Fraternity or Man in the Mirror?) Share it with the community.
We want to connect leaders who are successfully discipling men with those that want to, and facilitate you sharing your “best practices” and “resources” with each other - thus, the name.
To submit a resource or idea send an email to resources@disciplemen.com. In your e-mail include the following:
- Name of the resource
- Brief description
- What is it (a book, event, speaker, web site, Bible study, ministry, etc.)?
- How did you use it?
- Do you have any materials you made or used to implement it in your church? (like graphics, flyers, your own discussion questions, an itinerary, etc.) If so, please attach them to your e-mail
- Your contact info, including your name, e-mail address and a daytime phone
We’ll look over what you send and then contact you to fill in any details we might still need. So think about what you have done or used in your ministry to men, and please, SEND US YOUR BEST STUFF!!!

We have many resources that we have used in different areas of our ministry however one that I think has had the most impact on me is from Pat Morley’s weekly Bible study series. It is so moving that I keep the CD in my truck and play it to and from work as I am talking with God and His plan for Asbury Men’s Ministry!
It is from 09/19/03
“Update in The Battle For Men’s Souls: The Urgent Necessity of Reaching Men”
If you want to light a fire under your team just show this at a team meeting. What I have learned in doing something like this is you have to leave the meeting with a call to action and defined follow-up action plan for the team.
The bottom line is God has called us to “Make Disciples!”

“Sex.The Seductive Addiction.” This book is a coleection of some of the lessons I shared with support group for men that I co-led. The book is for Christian men and non-Christians. I am not plugging the book for my gain,but to help men get delivered from sexual addiction. If you are interested in a simple,basic,straight to the point on how to stay free from sexual addiction,then this book will help you.
Looking forward to working with you all!!
