This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Welcome to the Wednesday Bible Study.

Thank you for taking time to be with us today.

My name is Rick Burgess in case we haven't met, a host of the Rick Burgess show.

That is my day job.

You can catch that show Monday through Friday in all sorts of ways, live, archive,

podcast, you name it.

Find out all the different ways to get the show if you're interested by going to

Rick Burgess Show.com. This Wednesday Bible study is part of a much larger strategy that

we started about six years ago, and that is the manchurch.com. If you go there, you'll see the strategy.

It features two main pillars, and that is high challenge in the form of conferences,

and the form of individual gatherings at the local church and churches all over the country,

and that's the high challenge.

Nothing real new there.

But also, we provide a part that has been sorely missing in men's ministry, and that is high equipping discipleship.

And we do that in the small groups in forms of 40-week curricula.

We have six of those in the form of individuals getting together, and even smaller groups with our 31-day or our 40-day devotionals. We have those. We even have a full-length

book called Men Don't Run in the Rain, which I wrote about my father, which you also can use

as a resource. So with Father's Day, it'll be coming up again this summer.

Some great things there for the men in your life at themanchurch.com. But more importantly,

the strategy is there for the local church. If we can be of assistance to you, please contact us at
