Tedder’s Top Ten: Men’s Ministry Websites

This one is near and dear to my heart. I’ve written many times about ministering to men, how important it is, etc.

For this Top Ten I wanted to share some of the websites that have blessed me regarding ministry to men. However, because I’ve come across so many helpful websites on this subject, carving this down to ten is, I’m sure, an injustice to others that ought to be included.

Part of my criteria for choosing which websites make my Top Ten list is that the website has to be useful. In other words, the ministry that a website represents may be phenomenal and doing great things for the Kingdom. However, if the website itself doesn’t do much more than tell me a few interesting things about the ministry, then it’s not very useful as an online resource. Thus, the websites I like most are the ones that provide articles, devotionals, podcasts, YouTube videos, social media connections, newsletters, etc. That’s how I decided which ones to include on this and every Top Ten list.

PS – The following websites are focused more on ministering to men “in general.” I’ll include Top Ten lists later that will focus on top websites for fathers, top websites for husbands, etc.

This list is in no particular order… except for the first one, because I believe it is far and away the best.

1.) Man in the Mirror Ministries with Pat Morley – Morley and company are the premier thinkers in the world of ministering to men. Their website is super user-friendly. You can read countless articles on men’s ministry, men’s issues, etc. You can download and listen to men’s Bible studies taught by Morley or watch them online. You can also sign up for a number of training events that Man in the Mirror holds or purchase some fantastic resources online. Great website that goes well with an incredible ministry to men.

2.) Every Man Ministries with Kenny Luck

3.) Top Gun Men’s Ministries

4.) Men’s Stuff at CrossWalk.com

5.) New Man Magazine

6.) Men’s Ministry at Bible.org

7.) Church for Men

8.) Disciple Men.com

9.) Christian Businessmen Connection

10.) Men’s Ministry Catalyst

Honorable Mention

• Live Bold (just discovered this one today) Looks like it may have some good possibilities.

If you want to check out some of the other websites for ministry to men, click here. I’ve realized that it’s not updated. I’ve come across some others recently that, while they might not make my Top Ten list, are still very fine websites and worth looking into. If you know of one not included, please let me know and may add it to the Honorable Mentions.

Grace and Truth,

If you live in Jacksonville, I welcome you to come and join the men’s ministry at our church. We are just finishing up a study on men in search of success. It’s been very helpful as well as challenging. We’re about to start a new study in a week or two. Here are the details…

New Study: Taking Care of Business: Finding God at Work Work. (a study by Andy Stanley)

For most people, it’s a necessity. For some, it’s a passion. And for others, it’s a four-letter word to be avoided as much as possible. But for all of us, one perspective on work really matters: God’s.

This six-part study addresses specific problem areas we’re all familiar with – from dealing with coworkers and superiors while exemplifying Christ, to balancing our work and home life.

March 15 & 17 – Lesson 1, Meet the Boss
March 22 & 24 – Lesson 2, Current Economic Indicators
March 29 & 31 – No Study – Holy Week
April 5 & 7 – Lesson 3, The Corner Office
April 12 & 14 – Lesson 4, Going Public
April 19 & 21 – Lesson 5, Paying Your Dues
April 26 & 28 – Lesson 6, Leaving Early
May 3 & 5 – Fellowship Day

We’d love for you to come and join us. Again, if you live in Jacksonville, come and check us out. You can click here for details.

Blessings,
Dale
