Paul understands what he is gifted at, as an apostle and a teacher, and he's willing to to serve no matter the cost. He know's his gift sets and is confident in them.

Send us a textOn EP. 122 Garret talks about the power of prayer and how for a mentorship to be effective it must begin with prayer. In 1 Timothy 2:3 we see Paul saying to his protege Timothy, "I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers." Paul was CONSTANTLY praying for Timothy. We should be praying constantly for each other for our mentorship to be effective. Men, let's walk in tune with the Spirit, constantly remember each other in prayer, and go to bat for our mentor or protege!"We should be praying daily for each other for our mentorship to be effective." // Garret BarbushAdventure Awaits!

Send us a textOn EP. 121 Garret continues the conversation on the lessons learned from the mentorship of Paul and Timothy. This week we dive into 1 Timothy 6:11, Paul's final charge to Timothy. Paul gives Timothy 5 clear instructions from mentor to protege – flee from evil, pursue godliness, fight the good fight of faith, think eternally and command humility. Men, we have to respond to these things for transformation to take place in our lives. Let's not overcomplicate mentorship, let's not overcomplicate our lives as Christian men. Let's flee from evil and pursue godliness!"A protege has to respond to these things for transformation to take place in his life." // Garret BarbushAdventure Awaits!

Send us a textOn EP. 120 Garret begins a conversation on the lessons learned from the mentorship of Paul and Timothy. This is one of the most impactful lessons on mentorship that we see in scripture. As we dive into 1 Timothy 4 we read about five lessons that Paul encourages Timothy with. Mentors, remember that you can't encourage the man across the table from you to read scripture if you are not also reading scripture!"You can't encourage the man across the table from you to read scripture if you are not doing it too." // Garret BarbushAdventure Awaits!

Send us a textOn EP. 119 Garret dives into 2 Peter 1 as he talks about finding our identity in God. Men, if we are being honest we know that we struggle with finding our identity as husbands, fathers and leaders. We read in 2 Peter 1:3 that God's divine power gives us EVERYTHING we need. So we have to make it a daily priority to pause and look vertically, to God. When we look vertically we begin to understand that God has given us all that we need for life and godliness. Our identity is in Him. We pray that this episode we challenge you to pause and look up!"When we look vertically we begin to understand that God has given us all that we need for life and godliness." // Garret BarbushAdventure Awaits!

Send us a textOn EP. 118 Garret is back as he shares an incredible story about a man named Nate. Nate was in attendance at the Men of Iron Dinner on April 19th in Lancaster, PA. Invited by a friend, Nate showed up that night weary and broken down. As Devon shared his own story of transformation on stage, Nate leaned over to his friend and said, "That's me!" It prompted the guys at his table to pray for Nate on the spot. Two weeks later Nate was in the Men of Iron office to talk to our team and ended up giving his life to Jesus! Change begins with prayer!"Men, we are only as effective as our prayer life."// Garret BarbushAdventure Awaits!

Send us a textOn EP. 117 Chad is back as we dive into 1 Samuel 14:1-2. We see Jonathan and his armor-bearer making a decision to advance on the Philistine outpost. As Saul found shade under a pomegranate tree, Jonathan couldn’t just sit idly by. He knew he had to make a decision to advance and move. Despite the climb through tough terrain, Jonathan took action. If we are going to be men who climb the mountain of manhood, there are moments in our lives where it is critical to make a move. Don’t sit around waiting for life to happen. Get out from the comfort of our own pomegranate tree. Pray about what action do you need to take. It’s time to move!"Do things; be sane; don't fritter away your time; create, act, take a place wherever you are and be somebody; get action.” // Theodore RooseveltAdventure Awaits!

Send us a textOn EP. 116 Chad is back as he continues the conversation in 1 Samuel 13. The Israelites were outnumbered and outgunned. The Philistine army was well equipped and had a strong advantage over the Israelite army. Much like the Israelites, most men feel ill-equipped to climb the mountain of manhood. The truth is, we often feel under equipped because we believe certain things about ourselves. Do not settle, let’s climb the mountain together and push back the darkness of inadequacy! “Most men feel ill-equipped to climb the mountain of manhood.“// Chad ZueckAdventure Awaits!

Send us a textOn EP. 114 Garret is back as he breaks down what it took for Jesus to fulfill his mission on the cross. We often fail to remember that Jesus was human with human emotions. Jesus endured pain physically and emotionally. He was a man with a mission, and he never flipped into "God mode" when things got tough. Jesus let nothing distract him from departing for Jerusalem. He knew his time was near. As a man of God, you too have a mission. What is your mission for today?"God calls each of us to be his vessels." // Garret Barbush**FULL SHOW NOTES AT MENOFIRON.ORG/PODCAST**You are invited to celebrate God's transforming work across 15 years of impact in the lives of men pursuing Him and their purpose.

Send us a textOn EP. 113 Chad we are in the book of 1 Samuel 13 as we talk about what it takes to be a man who patiently waits on God. In 1 Samuel 13:9 King Saul was told by Samuel to wait, but he gets impatient and offers up a burnt offering, disobeying God. He wasn't believing that God was going to show up. Impatience clouds our judgment and it ultimately brings conflict with God. How can we become better men? By not chasing after instant gratification. A patent man can lead others. "We should always be moving at the pace of God." // Chad Zueck**FULL SHOW NOTES AT MENOFIRON.ORG/PODCAST**You are invited to celebrate God's transforming work across 15 years of impact in the lives of men pursuing Him and their purpose.

Send us a textOn EP. 112 Chad is on the pod as he talks about what it means to be an unreasonable man. Men, these are the times to step up and do the things that God wants us to do. Because we often overcommit in other areas, we do not have the freedom to be men that are engaging with the issues of the day. If you are a Christian man, you are called to be a righteous man. We need to become unreasonable about the things that matter. "We need to become unreasonable about the things that matter." // Chad Zueck**FULL SHOW NOTES AT MENOFIRON.ORG/PODCAST**You are invited to celebrate God's transforming work across 15 years of impact in the lives of men pursuing Him and their purpose.

Send us a textOn EP. 111 Chad is back on the pod as he talks about the growth required to be a good man. We take a look at the high-paid professional vs. the amateur. The amateur is someone who loves what they do, they do not rest on past accolades or achievements. Men, we must be amateurs at heart and mind and love what we do as men.

Send us a textOn EP. 110 Garret finishes up the series on reliable men from 2 Timothy 2:2. Today we turn our attention to the hardworking farmer. The farmer knows how to work hard and when to work hard. When it comes to the hard-working farmer it's the crops that he produces that fuel his body. He knows he must put in the work to put food on the table. To be a reliable man, you have to take responsibility for your own life. Lazy men don't make good proteges, overworked men don't make good proteges. But farmers, men who know when to rest and when to work, make excellent proteges. "To be a reliable man, you have to take responsibility for your own life." // Garret Barbush**FULL SHOW NOTES AT MENOFIRON.ORG/PODCAST**You are invited to celebrate God's transforming work across 15 years of impact in the lives of men pursuing Him and their purpose.

Reliable men follow the rules, they follow the rules of marriage, business, fatherhood and more. We SHOULD play the game to win, but compete within the rules. God honors excellence, and excellence honors God. Let's strive to win as husbands, fathers, and leaders. Let's compete within the rules, let's pursue excellence!"God honors excellence and excellence honors God." // Garret Barbush**FULL SHOW NOTES AT MENOFIRON.ORG/PODCAST**You are invited to celebrate God's transforming work across 15 years of impact in the lives of men pursuing Him and their purpose.

Send us a textOn EP. 108 we continue the conversation on reliable men from 2 Timothy 2:2. Garret dives into verse 3 as Paul talks about the first reliable man, the solider. The solider wants to please the commanding officer, he stays focused on the battle. He stays focused on Jesus. He does not get sidetracked with ambitions in the civilian world. This world desperately needs more reliable men who stay focused on the mission at hand, like a solider.When we have more men focused on ending our lives with Jesus saying, "Well done good and faithful servant," our culture will change one man at a time.  // Garret BarbushYou are invited to celebrate God's transforming work across 15 years of impact in the lives of men pursuing Him and their purpose.

Send us a textOn EP. 107 we break down 2 Timothy 2:2 as Paul instructs Timothy to entrust the things he has heard to reliable men. Who are the reliable men in your life and what are you entrusting to them? It's time to stop making excuses as to why you aren't mentoring another man. Find the reliable men in your life, teach them, train them, move them forward and entrust them to do the same for someone else. "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others." // 2 Timothy 2:2 (NIV)You are invited to celebrate God's transforming work across 15 years of impact in the lives of men pursuing Him and their purpose.

We break down a story in Acts 15 between Paul and Barnabas where they agreed to disagree and moved forward with love and respect. In relationships disagreements are inevitable. Let's be tolerant men amid an intolerant world."Men, if we are going thrive as men, we need to learn how to simply allow ideas to collide and understand that this should not derail us but it should put us on course for what God has called us to do." // Garret BarbushYou are invited to celebrate God's transforming work across 15 years of impact in the lives of men pursuing Him and their purpose.

Send us a textOn EP. 105 we are talking about the significance of a conversation over a cup of coffee. Garret shares a story about a conversation he had with a friend that created a ripple effect of generosity. In a fast-paced we rarely make time to slow down and meet face to face with a friend and talk about life. But when we do, God uses these conversations to sharpen us and to make the world around us better. It's why at Men of Iron we believe so strongly in mentorship. When men meet face-to-face and hold each other accountable to being the best they can be, their lives, marriages, families and communities are transformed."It's amazing to think what God can do when two men sit face to face and have a conversation." // Garret BarbushYou are invited to celebrate God's transforming work across 15 years of impact in the lives of men pursuing Him and their purpose.

Send us a textOn EP. 104 we are talking about the greatest quarterback of all-time, Tom Brady. ICYMI, Brady retired last week as not only the greatest quarterback of all-time, but arguably the greatest athlete of all time. Men, there is a cost to being the best. There is a sacrifice that a man needs to make to be fully committed to a cause, a purpose, a passion, a job, etc. If you want to be great than there are things you have to sacrifice along the way. Tom Brady counted the cost and it was a cost that he was willing to pay because he wanted to be the best. As Christ followers, what can we learn from Tom Brady? We need to be the best men of God that we can possibly be and be willing to pay the price."We need to be the best men of God that we can possibly be and be willing to pay the price." // Garret Barbush"And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple."  // Luke 14:27 (NIV)You are invited to celebrate God's transforming work across 15 years of impact i
