Discussion Questions

1. There are 72,000,000 children in the United States 18 years of age and younger. Forty percent of these children will go to bed tonight in a home without a biological father.

2. Who is to principally at fault for the state of our nation-government, corporations, the media, the church, women, children, or men? Defend your answer.

3. It has been suggested that Matthew 28:18-20 offer a systemic solution for this problem. Do you agree or not? Explain your answer.

If true, can you visualize any way of getting families right unless we get marriages right? If true, can you see any way of getting marriages right unless we get men right? And if that's true, can you see any way of getting men right unless we help them become disciples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? What are the implications for you and your ministry?
