According to the statistics, men aren't doing well—at all.
Men have a life expectancy 5 years less than women. Men are 4x more likely to commit suicide, and are 2x more likely to have an alcohol related incident or death. The CDC says half of all men, age 18 or over, already have hypertension, and 40% are obese. Men are quickly being outpaced by their female counterparts in education, with nearly 70% of all graduate students being female. 98% of all mass shootings are carried out by a male perpetrator.
What's going on? Men are floundering. And the key to living well is learning to rise together.
My friend, Brian Tome, thinks he has an answer. The founding pastor of Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, recognized as one of the largest and fastest growing churches in the nation, Crossroads has purposefully run after men for the past 30 years... and it's working.
Besides pastoring, Brian started MAN CAMP, a primitive weekend camping experience helping men reclaim the ancient code of manhood. Since its inception, some 30,000 men have attended, from all over the country and world.
Brian is also the best-selling author of The FIve Marks of a Man, a book which was not only instrumental for me, but for thousands upon thousands of men looking for practical, actionable wisdom on how to live in our changing world.
