Men's Ministry and New Man

Men's ministries and New Man have always had a close-knit relationship. Our magazine was actually launched as the official Promise Keepers magazine when that organization was starting to hit it big in the mid-1990s, and we have been inseparable from the movement ever since. We have the same goals, the same audience and the same issues.

That's why I'm excited to announce a new partnership between New Man and Iron Sharpens Iron, an amazing ministry that has grown dramatically in the last few years. As you can read about in the main story, Iron Sharpens Iron is actually a group of ministries dedicated to reaching men through conferences, discipleship and the local church. God has given them a clear vision and a heart for the men of this country, and it's been so exciting to talk with them and hear their passion over the past few weeks.

One of the best parts about this new partnership is that you, the readers, are going to benefit. Starting soon, we will be running columns from the various leaders in Iron Sharpens Iron at least once a month. This will be all-new content from guys with years of experience in ministering to men. You're probably thinking, "Wait, I read Chris' column every week, why would I need another one?" I know, that's what I thought, too. (Note to all blog posters: that was a joke).

But I'm seriously excited to hear from these men. As a young Christian, I can only talk about and discuss certain things. I'm in no position to offer advice on marriages, fatherhood or discipling. I just don't have the experience. These guys have been doing it for years, and they know how to do it right.

Look for these new columns to start soon!
