Ep. 34 | Win the Day ft. Warren Mainard of Impact Players

Why Young Men Are Flooding Back to Church with Jake Corn

Why are more young men showing up at church than young women, and what does that reveal about the future of ministry? In this episode of The New Adam Podcast, Ryan Reeves and Jake Corn dig into the surprising data behind the rise in young men attending church regularly, the types of churches drawing them in, and what they’re actually looking for when they walk through the doors. From traditional marriage and direct preaching to men’s ministry, discipleship, and the need for real brotherhood in a post-digital world, this conversation gets into what’s really happening beneath the trends. Ryan and Jake also explore why churches that focus on clear gospel content, meaningful involvement, and genuine relationships may be better positioned to reach the next generation of men. If you’re a pastor, church leader, or just curious about the shifting landscape of faith and culture, this one is worth your time. Visit us: maninthemirror.org [http://maninthemirror.org]

Ep. 33 | What Men Actually Want From Church

A lot of the current conversation around men leaving the church completely misses the point. It’s not about a lack of interest or commitment—it’s that men are tired of being asked to just sit still and be passive observers. In this episode, we want to talk about the growing disconnect between what the modern church model expects and what men actually need. We look at why the standard, spectator-style Sunday routine feels so hollow, the shift in how men are engaged (or not engaged) in these spaces, and what it actually looks like to build an environment that challenges men rather than just pacifying them.

Ep. 32 | Why Men Secretly NEVER Rest (And How It’s Killing Your Growth)

In this episode, Ryan and Jake break down a critical issue facing men today: our obsession with daily optimization and our complete inability to pull back the throttle. Whether you're dealing with standard injuries, chasing vanity, or using the gym as a coping mechanism for mental health, the reality is that ignoring your body’s need for rest is a recipe for a crash. We dive into what it truly means to steward the temple God gave you, why true discipline includes sabbath rest, and how a healthy lifestyle is ultimately about protecting your ability to serve your family and community. We also tackle the creeping dangers of modern dopamine addictions—from social media traps to the rise of sports gambling among young men—and discuss how a deliberate "dopamine reset" can clear your mind and restore your focus on what actually matters.

Ryan sits down with Jake Corn to talk about how Christian men should think about the noise — UFO headlines, online controversies, the endless churn of viral debates. It's a conversation about discernment, curiosity, and keeping our heads (and our faith) steady when the internet keeps trying to pull them in every direction. Visit us: maninthemirror.org
