Andy Cook presented this sermon as a part of a 4-sermon series aimed to the men in his church family. He called the series, "The Man You Were Meant To Be." It was a month-long challenge to men and their churches. He says that a great background study on why a church would respond favorably to such a series, and why our churches need such a focus, comes from the book Why Men Hate Going to Church.
