Summary

We're here again with our boy, Max “Rambouski” Benfer. Strangely he always finds our secret bunker! Despite our better judgment, we let him appear on the show … (what can we say, we feel bad for the guy!). He's had quite a colorful past and in his previous life, Max served in men’s ministry - basically calling men to set up camp in Neverland and play in the dirt. In all seriousness, what is men's ministry supposed to look like and what makes it successful? If ministering to the men-folk looks like a pack of Tarzans in the woods while "Jane" stays home, it's time we reconsider our strategy.Please make a donation to the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals so we can continue producing Mortification of Spin.

1:19.0	reading excerpts from Wild at Heart. And we thought, you know what? What a great time to
1:25.2	interview Max because he used to be an assistant pastor. And one of his main roles was, you know what, what a great time to interview Max because he used to be an assistant pastor
1:29.2	and one of his main roles was, you know, the pastor and leader of the men's ministry in
