Men’s discipleship: big vs. small church



Effective men's discipleship is critical to the health of every church, whatever its size.

Travis Edgar leads a small, Free Methodist church in a rural Pennsylvania town. Ronnie Cordrey leads men's ministry at one of the largest churches in America. While their approaches are very different, both men have learned that men's discipleship goes nowhere without authentic brotherhood bonds between leaders and the men they are discipling.

Their insights will inspire you to think differently about your role in developing godly men in your church and your other spheres of influence.
