The New Adam Project provides insight into the current state of men in our world.
From Retired to Hired: How to Keep Growing as a Disciple
At 55, I’ve spent my entire life learning in church. The danger is if we define discipleship only as intellectual learning, many of us feel spiritually retired. Discipleship goes much deeper, and there’s one role only mature men can play.
The Confidence to Care
Many men want to help others grow but aren’t sure how. Whether they feel unprepared or inadequate, the result is the same: they’re stuck. We’re helping them get unstuck, because when they get the confidence to care, lives change forever.
Innovating the Future Through Mirror Labs
With churches facing an exodus of men in their 20s and 30s, we have launched Mirror Labs, our new R&D division, to focus on this critical question: Can the church in America work together to solve the spiritual crisis among young men?
Leading Men to the Truly Abundant Life
Will you partner with us to bring hope and life to men and their loved ones? Here’s what P.T. Barnum, COVID shutdowns, and 35 years of ministry have taught us about the key to living an abundant life in Christ…

For many pastors, the last 20 months have been the hardest season of ministry they’ve ever experienced. This Pastor Appreciation Day, we want to share some ways to support and encourage your pastor—and why it matters more than you realize.
Mentoring: Grow By Giving Yourself Away
Are you longing to put your faith in action and make a difference? Is God prompting you to invest in someone else? Based on our experience, we want to demystify and discuss the ins, outs, and life-changing nature of mentoring men.
Exploring the Great Commission
Is the primary purpose of the Christian life to make disciples who make disciples? This week, we’re going beyond the numbers with the Great Commission to explore the deeper implications of Jesus’ teaching on discipleship and the gospel.
Finding a Band of Brothers
Without brothers, the Christian road becomes much harder to walk, and the abundant life Christ has for us feels just beyond our grasp. Here’s a story of one man’s dream to ensure men in his Alaskan community could find a band of brothers.
Division in the Body of Christ
Jesus destroyed the division between Jew and Gentile. But today, many of us are rebuilding a dividing wall of hostility, brick by brick. In levying new regulations on one another, we sacrifice peace, unity, and wisdom. What’s a better way?
How Peter Became a Fisher of Men
How did Peter, an “unschooled, ordinary man” with well-documented flaws, have an extraordinary personal ministry? In the epic story of Peter’s life, Jesus prepared him in three main ways. In these same ways we, too, become fishers of men.
