Why Men Aren't Singing

David Murrow has a great piece on Men v Praise Music. A big part of the problem is songs that paint God as "a lover rather than a leader", which means they verge on homoerotic when sung by a man. But there's other stuff too.


The result is that "women are worshipping robustly while most men stand for 20 minutes with their hands in their pockets, dutifully mouthing words that fail to resonate with their hearts."

Essentially, there are 3 reasons we ended up this way. Fortunately, there are also 7 practical ideas to help make the music time less anti-men.
