Real Men's Conference

Danny said that in most churches, men’s ministry ranks a distant fourth behind ministries directed toward youth, children and women.

“These ministries to the youth, children and women are important, no doubt, but we have to develop an intentional ministry to men,” he said. “We have to go get Bubba.”

He continued, “Somewhere we’ve got to build Bubba up. It’s generally not happening in Sunday school or missions.”

Singleton asked a group of nine men how many of them had grown up in a home with a godly father. One raised his hand. That, he said, was part of what made men’s ministry hard – a lack of role models.

“The men in our churches don’t love each other, don’t know each other, aren’t involved with each other,” Singleton said. “If we want to see men’s ministry grow, we have to connect with the men in our churches.

“We must model what we want to see multiplied. Men’s ministry is not a program. It’s a principle,” he said.
