The touch of God - healing - new life - renewal - momentum. Lions Roar 2025 was powerful because of the touch of God and remarkable because of the men who attended. Men who are thriving despite the brutality of the C-suites, men redeemed from the brutality of the cartels, men set free in the shadow of despots, and now all of them thriving as husbands, fathers, career men. Fathers with sons, growing in relationship, sharing a transformative experience. Men with wives, getting away together, building on their restored marriages. Matthew told us what it was like to walk alongside...

Whether you’re a pastor, business owner, coffee shop manager, or a man leading a men’s group, the following is true: You must build on faithfulness. Too often, leaders look for the one with the great talent, great ability. We say, “Man, this guy could be awesome.” But then we’re disappointed when he proves unfaithful. The talented salesperson doesn’t stay committed. The eager college graduate doesn’t keep his word. The one with experience doesn’t show up when he said he would show up. He may have talent, but has no character. In ministry to men, we must build on faithful men....

The main target of CMN is to see every man become a strong disciple, and every pastor a successful disciple-maker. If the pastor is a successful disciple-maker, and men become strong disciples, everything changes for that church.

This doesn’t mean the pastor has to do more work. In fact,...

Without brotherhood, men die younger. In 1938, Harvard Medical began an 85-year study on the health of 268 men. It’s not surprising that the men who had the strongest and deepest relationships were the healthiest in mind, body, and spirit. In fact, men with positive relationships had greater income. One study found that the average American man has just 1.7 friends. (We all know the .7 guy—he’s the one who no-shows when you need help moving.) Most men don't have someone they can call late at night if they're out of town and their family needs help. Men need friends....

The Apostle Paul was betrayed. So stunning to me that Paul's friends bailed on him. What happened to Paul is why we are building a brotherhood. We need our brothers. It happened when he was in jail and needed his friends in Asia to stand with him. In his letter to Timothy (2 Timothy 1:15-18) Paul describes how men he thought he could count on had turned away from him. But there was one man who stood with his friend. Here's how Paul described the incident, "As you know, everyone from the province of Asia has deserted me—even Phygelus and...
