Tired of seeing your friends sitting on the sidelines with their Christian faith? Tired of waiting for your church to offer something meaningful for men?

Maybe you should follow the example of Cody Andrews.

Cody had no formal religious training and no experience with men’s ministry. But he spearheaded an effort to get men’s discipleship going at his small church in a small Pennsylvania town. In this interview, he shares how God has blessed his effort and how God can bless yours.

After earning a BA in History at California University of Pennsylvania, Cody began working for a large utility company, and today he designs both commercial and residential electric services. He, his wife, and their two children live in small coal town, Waynesburg, an hour south of Pittsburgh, where they enjoy exploring God’s creation, hunting, kayaking, hiking, fishing, and swimming. After years of volunteer leadership in his church, Cody began to pursue his Master of Divinity degree and hopes to enter full-time ministry.
