Joel Brooks is a contemporary philosopher and Christian practitioner. He deals with the hard issues of the streets and men's hearts. How do we reconcile compassion and security? Is the church sick or just in transition? Why is government and the church often at odds? Why is the world and much of the church so focused on style? In a fascinating and far-reaching conversation with Joel Brooks we hit on this and more.
Joel states, "What determines wisdom is the success of the outcomes." Our friend Pastor Joel Brooks is a nationally known speaker, author, and the Senior Pastor of Stones Church, in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is also the founder of Romantic Warrior Ministries. He is on the ministry board of CMN.
Joel hits the issues with clarity today on the Brave Men podcast. Brave Men is hosted by Paul Louis Cole, president of Christian Men's Network. Brave Men is a production of CMN, which is based in Texas and operating on the ground in over 100 nations. For tools to disciple men and families go to https://CMN.men
