What does it really mean to be a man in today’s culture?

In this episode of Group Answers, Brian Daniel sits down with John Simons, author of The Man You’re Meant to Be, to explore masculinity, discipleship, and practical strategies for men’s ministry. Drawing from his book and years of ministry experience, John shares insights on the challenges men face, the importance of identity in Christ, and the role community plays in shaping authentic masculinity.

Listeners will gain insight into:

  • Self-examination for men and the value of honest reflection
  • Identity in Christ as the foundation for spiritual growth
  • The role of community and outsiders in shaping masculine character
  • Balancing behavioral change with spiritual formation
  • Practical steps for building a vibrant men’s ministry
  • Embracing a quiet, intentional life as a disciple

John emphasizes a holistic approach to men’s discipleship, one that integrates Scripture, character formation, and relational accountability, helping men grow into the leaders, husbands, and fathers God intended them to be.

We’d love to hear from you! If this episode encouraged or inspired you, share it with another ministry leader or men’s group.
