Church and brotherhood
A man can attend church for a decade and never be known by anyone in it. These letters are about the difference.
The three ways men hold the local church at arm’s length — as consumers, as critics, as people who watch online. Why preaching that moves you is not the same as preaching that forms you. What discipleship looks like when it is mostly watching an older man live. And a letter about a man who went on serving a young family and teaching from 1 Peter while he was dying.
If you are doing this alone, these are for you.
