Promise Keepers’ study shows men rank family matters and career over faith as top need

(RNS) Promise Keepers officials say they intend to change the focus of their Christian men’s ministry after a survey they commissioned found that most men do not consider matters of faith a top need or challenge in their lives.

Thirteen percent of 415 Christian men surveyed by Barna Research Group said that faith or spirituality represented one of their top challenges.

By category, family matters and careers figured higher on these men’s lists of “top-of-mind” needs and challenges that they are facing.
