Writers' Guidelines
For Men On a Mission

Our Purpose

"Helping men to develop Christ-centered perspectives that will transform their lives, their families and their worlds."

Our History

With a circulation exceeding 100,000, New Man is America’s #1 magazine for Christian men.

From 1994 to 1997, we had the honor of serving as the official magazine of Promise Keepers. While we no longer serve with the organization in that capacity, we continue to work side-by-side in ministry to men.

Additionally, we have formed key relationships with other ministries working to reach and disciple men, including Kenny Luck’s "Every Man" Ministry, Patrick Morley's Man in the Mirror, the National Coalition of Men’s Ministries and more.

Our Content

New Man is about spiritual transformation. The magazine is aimed at "men on a mission" (not a specific demographic, but a TYPE of man). These are men who are passionate about God and want more of Him in their lives. Men who crave adventure, take risks and pursue truth. Men who realize that an adventure with the Creator doesn’t begin and end on Sunday morning, but everywhere, everyday!

Each issue, we profile "men on a mission"- church leaders, professional athletes, businessmen and entertainers- completed by Christ, these men are transforming their lives, their families and their worlds. Plus, we offer biblical perspectives from today's Christian leaders, and tons of candid and practical, not predictable, advice about marriage, parenting, work, health and fitness, sex, God and faith.

New Man challenges men to apply biblical teaching to every area of their lives. It is bold, in-your-face and benefit-oriented in approach. Never boring, but always relevant and Christ-centered.

New Man is described like this: Practical. Candid. Entertaining. Radical. Masculine. Gritty. Key topics of interest include: spiritual growth, evangelism, discipleship, risk taking, leadership, integrity, physical fitness, stewardship, sex, marriage and family, faith and entertainment, sports, thrill and adventure, relationships.

Here are the types of articles most likely to be published:

  • Profiles With Teaching Points: Stories that will equip readers with Christ-centered perspectives and help them to grow spiritually. These should be more than historical recaps of an individual’s life. We should learn about them, AND, we should learn from them.
  • Transformation Stories: Men who have experienced 2 Corinthians 5:17: "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new man; the old has gone, the new has come!"
  • Men’s Ministry Reports: Profiling church and parachurch ministries presenting a creative, and credible, offer of the Gospel to men.
  • Trends: Investigative reports on issues affecting men today. Informing and equipping Christian men to engage the world with a biblical response.
  • Spiritual Growth: Biblical perspectives on men’s issues that are practical, but not predictable.
  • Faith and Risk: Stories about men who take risks, defy convention and face ridicule for God's glory.

We do not publish fiction, sermons or poetry.
