332. The State of Men’s Ministry: Josh Smith on Biblical Manhood, Discipleship, and Leading Men Today

Men’s ministry isn’t what it used to be—and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In this episode of Group Answers , Brian Daniel sits down with Josh Smith to unpack the evolving landscape of men’s ministry and what it takes to disciple men effectively in today’s culture. From shifting definitions of manhood to the growing challenges men face, Josh offers a grounded, biblical perspective on how churches can respond with clarity, conviction, and compassion. This conversation goes beyond surface-level solutions and calls leaders to invest deeply in the long-term spiritual formation of men—recognizing that true growth happens through relationships, consistency, and intentional discipleship. Josh encourages leaders to move beyond quick fixes and instead cultivate environments where men are known, challenged, and encouraged to grow into who God has called them to be.
