Practical Discipleship
For Christian Men
~ Helping men live intentional lives ~
Isolation is destroying a lot of Christian men.
Now, the truth is they're not alone. There are a lot of people around them. But in terms of who really knows them and what's going on in their heart and mind - they're completely alone.
What's interesting to me, is that if you were to ask most men, "Do you feel isolated or lonely?", what do you think they would say?
'Of course not! I'm good!'
And yet...
A Pew Research Center study showed that about 1 out of every 6 of us men says they actually DO feel that way.
Even without any stats to back it up here, you're probably tuned in to the fact that many men (especially in the younger generations) are more depressed, deal with many mental issues, and lack meaningful relationships than ever before.
In an age of digital connections, Christian men are increasingly isolated and lonely.
Now, this likely isn't breaking news to you. However, here's what I want you to do with this information today.
Ask yourself and be honest about it:
Who really knows the REAL you?
How many people know the secret sins you're struggling with?
How many men would you be able to reach out to in the middle of a crisis, and they'd pick up the phone on the first ring?
If you struggle to answer these questions, then you need to be honest about the fact that this isn't good.
You might be 'fine'. But you're not likely to be the husband, father, follower of Jesus, or man that you COULD be if it stays this way.
We need you to be the man that God made you to be!
Your family needs you as healthy as possible (spiritually, physically, emotionally, etc).
The same is true for your local church, your friends, etc.
I don't have all the answers for you today about how to change it but it likely starts with this:
- Recognize and admit that it's true.
- Ask God to help.
It's not good for man to be isolated alone.

Every strong man has other strong men around him.
