Love for Our Contributors
You know what I love about this job? Sometimes, when you least expect it, God just hits you square between the eyes with a story that shows how good He is and how much He loves His people. Sometimes this comes during an interview, sometimes it comes from another news outlet, and sometimes it comes from our very own readers. That’s why, for this last issue of the year, we decided to release a special “reader-contributor issue” that features three original articles from you.
One of the great joys of working on New Man as it has transitioned to its online form is getting to read the work of all the new contributors. These are the regular guys out there who want everyone to know how God has been working in their lives and decide to write about it, often for the first time. Their stuff is usually a little rough around the edges, but it’s refreshing to hear from these men who are on the front lines of the kingdom.
Sometimes the stories feature advice that flows from years of experience, something I’m always happy to soak in as a younger Christian man. We’ve had a number of those this year. A great example is our lead story in this issue, “How to Create a Godly Legacy” by Peter Caruso.
Sometimes the stories feature men who are stepping into opportunities the Lord is providing them. These are my favorites, because it’s inspiring to hear about how other regular men in America are finding ways to reach out to others. Remember the police officer from the Oct. 29 issue who was sharing the gospel with clubbers in addition to keeping the peace? You can’t make that stuff up. If you like that, check out “Taking the Great Commission to the Great Outdoors” by Patrick Tyndall in this issue.
Sometimes the stories feature inspiring accounts of God’s goodness from tough life situations, as detailed in “And the Glory Goes On,” by Bob Prettyman. Miracles do happen, and I love it when we get to tell you about them.
Working on New Man this year has been both inspiring and humbling. I’m always amazed when I hear about the powerful things that God is doing through men in the world, particularly when it comes straight from their mouths. I’ve been in contact with men, both famous and unheard of, who have challenged me to grow my faith and live life differently. Thank you all very much, and please keep those stories coming! As always, feel free to email them to me at chriglazier@yahoo.com.

Thank you for your honesty. Your words remind me of the scripture, we know in part, hence we can only prophecy in part. None of us know it all.
Grace to you,
AB
