GodMen Reaches Out to Christian Men

GodMen targets men who are disinterested in traditional church services, where only four out of ten attenders are men. The problem is that most churches do not allow men to be men. They are too feminine, too sissy. The Christian Post has the story.

A new men’s movement is burgeoning into the Christian scene, picking up men bored in the pews and toughening them up with the other side of Jesus’ image—the table-tipping side.

“Men are a punchline in America,” said comedian Brad Stine, founder of GodMen, on ABC News. “Anything that’s masculine is considered misogynistic, suspect, trying to be oppressive. We’re none of those things.”

GodMen brings hundreds of Christian men together to do “guy stuff,” things they normally would not do in the churches. They watch professional sports screw-ups and witness a man bend a metal wrench with his bare hands. But the integral part of the movement is the raw talks, including discussions on pornography addiction.

“The biggest thing we’re trying to give them is absolute authenticity and honesty,” said Stine, who has hosted two conferences so far in Franklin, Tenn. “You get to be real and raw. We’re flawed, we’re messed up, we’re not perfect . . . we are on a journey but we screw up every single day.”
