Exploring More

Sign up for the December 10 Allies Roundtable: Zoweh.org/allies Men's Ministry That Heals, Not Just Helps. In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson, SJ Jennings, and Josh Overton continue the series on men's ministry, diving deep into the practicalities of leading and sustaining groups built around connection, brotherhood, and the heart. They unpack how to lead a men's group that isn't driven by curriculum or performance but by knowing and being known—where the goal is relationships, not checkboxes. The conversation highlights how rhythms of gathering matter: weekly or bi-weekly meetings of 90–120 minutes, intentional midweek communication, and the importance of flexibility in content and structure. Whether it's gathering for a book discussion or breaking away to address real-life battles, the facilitators emphasize a culture of grace, safety, and presence. They share their own group experiences, including long-term friendships forged through consistent time together—like Fourth of July
