Male Identity Crisis, Follow the Lions Roar!

Global Men’s Summit Addresses Mentoring, Fatherhood, and Leadership

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / October 15, 2015 / Research studies show men are in crisis. As reported in Psychology Today, males commit 70% of suicides; boys are under-achieving in schools; male college and graduate school enrollment has dropped to 40%; and in the recent recession, men lost 80% of the jobs. At the “Lions Roar” Global Men’s Summit, November 4-6, 2015, religious, business and civic leaders will present solutions that address this male identity crisis.

“Decades of negative media images of men and fathers, such as feminist Camille Paglia’s ‘men are obsolete’ declaration, have contributed to the male identity crisis,” explains Paul Louis Cole, President of Christian Men’s Network (CMN), host of Lions Roar. “Men need fathers, mentors and heroes to help find identity, respect and courage.”

Lions Roar features leaders from across the US and more than 20 nations. At this Global Men’s Summit, leaders will tackle male identity, and the epidemic of fatherlessness and marital instability, by addressing strategies such as global training, leadership coaching, prison outreach, and mentoring for young men.

“Nature abhors a vacuum, so without clearly defined guidelines for manhood, society fills the void. Gangs, for example, give young men what fathers fail to provide, such as structure, identity, love and belonging,” Cole states. “The need for male identity is worldwide. In my opinion, ISIS is a ‘men’s movement,’ but based on a lie.”

At this strategic summit, global leaders will convene to share leadership strategies, inspiration and documented success stories proven to reduce the rate of AIDS, fatherlessness, sex-trafficking and child abuse.

The theme for Lions Roar 2015 is “ALLIES!” Meetings are Wednesday – Friday, November 4-6, 2015 at Calvary Church, 4401 N. State Hwy 161, Irving, TX 75038.

Christian Men’s Network was founded in 1977 by the late Edwin Louis Cole, and is presently lead by his son Dr. Paul Louis Cole. CMN created a successful men’s mentoring and discipleship resource that has spread to over 170 nations and has impacted over 20 million men.
