Introducing the New Adam Project
The New Adam Project is a new initiative from Man in the Mirror built by contributing members from around the country.
The New Adam Project provides insight into the current state of men in our world.
Finishing the Race
In some of Paul’s final words to Timothy, he writes in vivid language that his time on earth is over, and he’s satisfied with his life. We, too, want to say, “I gave it my all” as we’re finishing the race. How can we leave a legacy that pleases God?
Map for the Soul: How to Live In Christ, Like Christ, For Christ
As men attempt to navigate life, their questions are numerous, deep, and complex. Like Timothy needed Paul, men in search of direction need someone more experienced to guide them. But crucially, they also need a map, and it’s at our fingertips.
Legacy: How to Disciple Your Grandchildren and Adult Children
In this webinar on how to disciple your grandchildren and adult children, gain encouragement and practical ideas as panelists share their real-life successes and failures.
Christian Persecution: Baked Into the Cake
Right now as you read this, millions of Christians are under threat worldwide. Whether you’re in the United States or elsewhere, should you expect Christian persecution? And how should you proceed if you are persecuted for your faith?
A Christian’s Guide to Handling Controversy
In a culture that thrives on controversy, we’re eager to argue our points. But with what goal? And at what cost? Paul gives a counter-cultural approach to conflict that helps us fight the right battles in the right way with the right definition of victory.
How to Respond to Counterfeit Christians
Maybe you’ve been hurt or exploited by a counterfeit Christian and your faith was shaken. Or perhaps your loved one is facing that now. Paul knew Timothy also would be exposed to this in the church, and he wanted to prepare and protect him with this advice.
The Great Labor Shortage: Why You’re Needed By Younger Men
Paul tells Timothy to do his best as a worker, advice that also applies to us as Christian men. Yet, when it comes to transferring spiritual wisdom to younger men, there’s a great labor shortage. Here’s why you’re uniquely qualified to solve this problem.
Staying Clean in a Dirty World
Some men in the church get swept up with the false teachings and empty promises of culture, while others cleanse themselves to be set apart for a purpose. In Paul’s letter to Timothy, we see three things we need to do to stay clean in a dirty world.
Spiritual Insight for Everyday Life
I’ve never met a man who doesn’t want spiritual insight. Yet, we often miss the spiritual connections that are present in the common details of everyday life. How can we crack the shell that separates the physical and spiritual worlds, and why does it matter?
Who Is Jesus?
Paul wanted Timothy to remember and build his life around Jesus Christ. So who is Jesus? A moral teacher? A prophet? A legend? And why does it matter? Those answers formed the core of Christianity then, and they still form the core of our faith today.
How Autonomy Fails and Grace Prevails
In our culture, we desire autonomy, and self-determination and self-reliance are some of our highest ideals. But eventually, every man comes to the end of himself. When you find yourself drowning, what’s your next move? And importantly, what is God’s?
Entrusting the Message to Faithful Men
Jesus told the disciples it’s not that men don’t want to meet Him. It’s that there aren’t enough men to make a credible introduction. In Paul’s plan for Timothy to safeguard and spread the gospel of Jesus, we see how we are entrusted to make the connection.
