Send us a textTravis Albanesius is back on the pod as we continue our Mentorship Series for the month of September. Last week we defined mentorship as the influence, guidance or direction given by a mentor or teacher given to a protege. Right before Jesus ascended back to heaven he looked at His disciples and said, “Go and make disciples.” The world needs more Christian mentors. This week we are going to talk about the key to being a great mentor. Here is the key, if you want to be a great mentor, first you have to be a great protege. Before Jesus’ disciples were called to go out and make disciples on their own, they followed and learned from Jesus for 2-3 years. They needed to be sharpened and prepared, and we are no different. Being a great protege takes work, it takes being committed. If we could see the potential fruit that it could bear in our lives, we would be all in! You can be a great godly mentor, but first you have to be a great protege.Listen to the Men of Iron Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify,

Send us a textTravis Albanesius takes over the pod for the month of September as we begin our series on Mentorship. Mentorship is the influence, guidance or direction given by a mentor or teacher. As Christian men, we all recognize an important need to raise up Christian leaders. We as followers of Christ are called to be intentional about mentorship. Raising up leaders takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of energy and it takes a lot of effort. We are busy doing a lot of really good things, but we are not intentional at doing the very best things. What we choose to be intentional about says a lot about who we are. What are the top 2-3 things that you are intentional about right now? Jesus was passionate about developing leaders, He was passionate about mentorship. Men, let's be intentional about inviting others to follow you as you follow Jesus. Intentional about investing in the young men around you. Let's be intentional about mentorship.Listen to the Men of Iron Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify,

Send us a textJustin Watkins is back on the pod for the final week of our Fitness & Health Series. Last episode we were at the pitch of the climb, which means you’re seeing progress in your goals and expanding the reach of your goals. So as you get closer to the summit, your knowledge, experience and habits have become more second nature to you. Others around you know you as a guy who cares about his health. At this stage of the climb fitness can easily become an idol rather than the means to your adventure of knowing God and pursuing your purpose. Yes, your fitness matters because you are a temple of the Holy Spirit. You were bought at a great price, so honor God with your body.“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20Listen to the Men of Iron Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Alexa, Google Podcasts and many more! S

Send us a textJustin Watkins is back on the pod as dive into Week 3 of our Fitness & Health Series. Last week we talked about how to start your fitness journey and provided some practical first steps. Remember, it's important to focus on the physical part of your fitness journey, but do not neglect the spiritual, emotional and mental components as well. Today I want to talk to the guy who is already on the climb of his fitness journey, maybe on the mountain just above the tree line. You've been committed to some new fitness routines for a season or two. This part of the climb is beyond the early stage of working through those pressing pain points of your initial goals and health needs. Remember, it takes at least 90 days of consistency in a habit or routine before you should be evaluating the progress. At this point, your fitness efforts are becoming a more natural part of who you are, rather than something you’re striving to do. This is going from, “I want to work out” to having a mindset of, “

What are the pain points that you have as you look up the mountain of your fitness journey. Maybe you are at the beginning of your fitness journey or it's gotten off course? You can't keep neglecting your physical body and not expect it to impact the rest of your life. God can use your paint points to get you started in the right direction.Here are four practical steps for your fitness journey:#1 - Small steps and SMART goals #2 - Climb with others #3 - Celebrate often#4 - Keep climbing on "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?

Send us a textTony Galati is back on the pod for EP. 178 as we continue talking about marriage and relationships. What prevents us from having a healthy marriage? It's pretty simple – selfishness and sin. We are constantly battling our natural desire to be selfish and our natural desire to sin. Ultimately it comes down to our relationship with God, if you are not right with God how can you be right with your wife? Men, make God a priority over your marriage, be dependent on Him.

Send us a textTony Galati joins the podcast for EP. 177 as we start the month of July talking about marriage and relationships. What does a healthy marriage look like? The foundation of a healthy marriage is two healthy people who love God. In Ephesians 5:25 we read, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her.” Men, we are called to love our wives as Christ loved the church, that is a sacrificial love. If we are unable to imitate Christ daily, how can we love our wives well? Everything points back to loving others and being imitators of God. If we live our lives this way, our marriages will be amazing.Tony joined the Men of Iron team in August of 2022 as our Iron Rep in Lancaster, PA and the surrounding region.
