We’re Back: Why Are We Even Qualified to Speak?

<p>Season 3, Episode 1</p><p>Men After God is back with its first new episode since April, and Adrian Ferrari puts a loaded question to all three hosts: if we are not the best fathers, husbands, or Christians, why are we even qualified to speak? Dustin Alley, Luke Sorensen and Adrian answer it from what they have been through, and lay out what changes this time: each man in his own lane, a couple of episodes a week, and less of a script.</p><p>Three takeaways:</p><p>1. Get connected outside the room. Luke's men's ministry has about 40 men engaged in its activities and several hundred men of the church who aren't, so he is moving away from event men's ministry. His rule of 33: one man ahead of you who can mentor you, one beside you who holds you accountable, and one you pour into.</p><p>2. Ask the question under the question. At a young pastor's ordination, Adrian asked who was investing in him, then pushed further: what has he told you that you didn't like to hear, and how did you handle it?</p><p>3. Where you have failed and grieved is where you can help. Adrian's backslide and the loss of his father are what let him sit across from a man in the same place. In his words, "the only person that's been able to walk with us and take us there is the Lord."</p><p>Chapters:</p><p>0:00 Cold open: why are we even qualified to speak?</p><p>0:55 We're back</p><p>1:47 Meet Luke and Adrian</p><p>4:30 The Brotherhood Op, a game that gets men talking</p><p>8:06 Luke on leaving event men's ministry</p><p>9:59 The rule of 33</p><p>11:18 What's different this time</p><p>13:02 The store</p><p>15:02 The Men After God Brotherhood</p><p>16:28 The question Adrian asked a young pastor</p><p>17:58 Less scripted, more real</p><p>19:20 Luke on our preacher voice</p><p>22:13 Why are we even qualified?
