Some who have been distant from community for three months are growing comfortable in that isolation. And now that the habits of church attendance have been broken, the risk is that men who adjust to this new normal will be gone for good.
After 30 years of working with thousands of churches, we believe that a specific, focused ministry to men that provides guys with the opportunity to meet together is a great thing for the men, for marriages, for families, and for the body.
In the last four months we’ve seen three separate crises: a health crisis, an economic crisis, and a social crisis. Will there be a fourth crisis? A spiritual crisis? Or instead, could there be a spiritual awakening among men?
We’re in the middle of this generation’s Civil Rights Movement on the heels of a worldwide health and economic crisis. We’ve NEVER led through anything like this. How should we respond to this moment as ministry leaders and are we “all in”?
After years of work on racial reconciliation, I assure you nothing will change just because we think it’s important. If you feel like the problem is so big that you’re powerless to do anything, here’s a way you can make a difference NOW.

First, we want to give you four helpful keys to navigate the narrow road in your own life, and second, a practical, easy way to support the men around you that you can get started on THIS WEEK.
Our ministry is forever indebted to Coach K. As we like to say, discipleship changes everything, and he centered his life on that truth. We know his legacy lives on in the men transformed by these three powerful lessons.
Maybe you’re on the front lines fighting this plague or maybe, like me, you’re watching from the sidelines. From there, what can we do? Someone said, “I guess the only thing we can do is pray.” Better to say, “The thing we can do is pray.”
Whether you’re looking for a better work/life balance, wondering how to spiritually lead your family, or struggling relationally at home, a good starting point is recognizing that if you have a family, your family is your first ministry.
Since 1986, Man in the Mirror has worked with more than 25,000 churches and millions of men. We help churches create an environment where the Holy Spirit inspires men to engage in life-on-life discipleship.
