1. In Scripture, men are commanded to be the spiritual leader of their home. The Christian community of men today and their families are in desperate need of such men. IRNMN is designed to inform and equip Christian men to step into that role and lead their families.

2. Data supports the premise that men must step into their role. Fathers are key to the salvation of their children. 4-17-93 If a child is saved first, there is a 4% chance their family will follow. If a wife is saved first, the number increases to 17%. But if the father is saved first, there is a 93% chance his family will follow. Dads must step up.

3. Beyond our families, the church and society are feeling the repercussions of complacent men. Research shows that many/most problems in society are caused by men that come from homes without strong fatherly role models.

4. What’s missing? Why aren’t men stepping up? Society has emasculated men, and pushed them into the background. Many are not in the Word consistently, so they lack knowledge. In addition, few men have other men to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them in defense of their faith and their families spiritual security. Men often don’t build strong relationships with other men, or have men in their lives they can trust and confide in. Yet we are commanded to seek wise counsel. Iron sharpens Iron.
