No Regrets Men’s Ministry - How Movements Are Built

Most men’s ministries gather men. But do they multiply disciples? In this episode of The Vince Miller Show, Vince sits down with Albo Esilaba, Executive Director of No Regrets Men’s Ministry, for a powerful conversation about the difference between building a ministry and building a movement. They discuss why many churches measure the wrong things, how leaders can move from attendance to multiplication, why disciple-making requires sending people out, and what American Christians can learn from the global church. Albo also shares practical wisdom for men’s ministry leaders, pastors, and disciple-makers who want to build something that outlives them. In this episode, we discuss: The difference between ministry and movement Why churches struggle to multiply disciples The danger of the “crushing it” leadership culture Why multiplication always includes loss How to build a men’s ministry under the local church What American Christians can learn from global discipleship movements Why the next generation may be more ready for the gospel than we think The upcoming No Regrets Men’s Conference If you’re a pastor, ministry leader, men’s ministry leader, father, grandfather, or disciple-maker, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
