Disciple Men Podcast: Recent Episodes
NCMM
The National Coalition of Ministries to Men (NCMM) brings together more than 200 organizations and independent ministers who share a single objective: to connect the men who disciple men. NCMM doesn’t minister to men – instead, we bring together the individuals and organizations that do this vital work.
NCMM was founded in 1996, at the height of the Promise Keepers movement. Hundreds of thousands of men were filling stadiums across the nation, hungry to know Jesus.
In response, men’s ministries were popping up all over the United States. But many of the men who spearheaded these ministries were isolated from one another. Resources were scarce. Many struggled to survive. The big ministries weren’t able to help the smaller ministries because they didn’t know they existed. Denominational men’s ministries saw a flood of new converts – but lacked the resources and manpower to effectively disciple these men.
NCMM was created to connect and encourage these ministries to work together. The goal was to help them do together what no one ministry could do alone.
Disciple Men Podcast is just another resource used to help and equip men's ministries.
Isolation is the tool of the enemy. Paul Cole shares about isolation and how it affects leaders.
From Joel 2:28“It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.
"Every culture has been built on the character of it's heros and the courage of it's warriors." -Paul Cole
"I believe we have become more concerned about the calorie content of our children's lunches than the character content of our children'e hearts." -Paul Cole
