TGC 049 - Men in Church

In this Gottescast, The Gottesdienst Crowd discusses the importance of men in the church. Scholarship tells us that men in the church have been on the decline. We take a look at what precipitated this decline and talk about the ways the church can evangelize men in what it teaches and in what it does in the liturgy. Larry Beane (pastor of Salem Lutheran Church, Gretna, LA, and Sermons editor for the Gottesdienst Journal and the Gottesblog Whip) joins us for the discussion.
