Why This Report Matters

Man in the Mirror’s report, The State of Young Men in America, is a wake-up call for the Church. Based on extensive research by our Mirror Labs team, this data-driven, spiritually anchored study uncovers the deeply personal and societal battles facing Millennial and Gen Z men today.

Isolation: Half of young men feel lonely “frequently or always.”

Addiction: 60% of young men spend 5+ hours a day on social media; opioid deaths are surging.
plus Economic Struggles, Mental Health, Spiritual Disconnection, and more.
The Social Impact:
Going beyond the numbers to the impact on young men’s lives in their work, families, and workplaces.
The Spiritual Impact:
Ultimately, all of these issues have spiritual ramifications. How can Christian men and the church respond to the issues and challenges facing young men today?
The Call to Action For the Church
This collection of data serves as a critical call to action for the church at large to engage the men in their communities. It is imperative that we
prioritize the well-being of young men, ensuring they have the resources, relationships, and support needed to thrive. Otherwise, society will continue to spiral. These statistics only serve as a reinforcement to our felt realities, which begs the question:
How long must we report on the decline of men until we wake up to the magnitude of the problem and act on the urgency to pursue change?
