Send us a textOn EP. 72 of the Men of Iron Podcast, Chad is back with Part 2 of our discussion on the "5 Ways to Fight Discouragement & Confusion." Part 2: Find Your Purpose, will help you get unstuck and fight discouragement and confusion by finding the WHY, PURPOSE, (the WIND) that will motivate you!The wind is God given and personally experienced. Simon Sinek calls it your “why.” It’s the thing that makes your heart come alive. It’s the place where longings and dreams come true. The wind has been referred to as “flow” and I like to think of it as a mystical way of living an unforced life.

Last week we talked about the intellectual side of a man's life and this week we talk about the spiritual side. Men, spiritual growth is a process, but it is also a journey through which we open our hearts to a deeper connection with God. We are not bystanders in our spiritual lives, we are active participants with God!"These storms that we are going through are temporary. But with a solid rock, we get to experience eternity in heaven. That's a gift that's given to us. So we have to look at, what am I living for in the temporary?

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.
