Send us a textOn EP. 64 of the Men of Iron Podcast, Garret and Chad continue our 4-part series discussing the four pillars of growth. Last week we talked about the physical side of a man's life and this week we talk about the intellectual side. An intellectual man leads with his head and heart, he wants facts and truth. If you desire to be a man of God, you need more than heart!Men, growing the "intellectual pillar" is not being intelligent, smart or academic. It's about becoming a better version of yourself. Engage in fruitful conversations, learn from those around you, pick up a book, learn a new skill.

Send us a textEP. 63 of the Men of Iron Podcast, Garret joins Chad to talk about physical fitness and the importance of taking care of your body. The guys provide practical advice to creating realistic and attainable fitness goals. God wants us to perform well in the areas of life. He wants us to glorify HIM with our bodies. And let's be honest men, we don't want to be the dad that can't run around with his kids because he's out of shape. "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, (ESV)Goal setting IS and should be invigorating for men. Setting goals helps trigger new behaviors, helps guides your focus, and helps you sustain that momentum in life. Goal setting gives a challenge and challenges sharpen our intentionality. While your fitness goals should challenge you, they should also be realistic and attainable. Set
