Send us a textOn EP. 133 Garret talks about the importance of mentoring the next generation. When we look at the life of Moses, we know that Joshua was the man that Moses poured into. Moses knew that the mission that God had given him was going to last well beyond him. Leadership is mentoring the next generation. We have to have a willingness, as leaders, to spend time and develop others. And not just develop the bottom line.Adventure Awaits!

What is the unique Spirit that God has put upon you; humility, hard-work, grit, generosity? Only you can discern that. Men, God calls us each of us to a specific mission. We will begin to restore masculinity and change a culture when we start to live out our leadership styles."When we develop as leaders, we are better men." // Garret BarbushAdventure Awaits!

This is NOT about doing more, but rather what does it look like to act like men in a chaotic culture. Garret breaks down three practical tips to help you step out in obedience and pursue God with everything you have.“We are ineffective unless we are pursuing God’s presence.” // Garret BarbushAdventure Awaits!

Send us a textOn EP. 130 we are looking at the life of Moses and what it means to embrace mentorship. Men, in order to restore masculinity and change a culture with courage we have to embrace mentorship. We see God saying to Moses in Exodus 17, "Go out in front of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel..." We read along further in chapter 18 and see that without the help of of Aaron and Hur holding up his arms, Moses and the Israelites surely would have lost. What does embracing mentorship practically look like? The first step is realizing that you cannot do it on your own, you need to heed counsel, and finally you need a team around you. Don't go to battle alone, embrace mentorship."Embrace mentorship, don't go to battle alone." // Garret BarbushAdventure Awaits!

Send us a textOn EP. 129 we are back in Exodus 17 as we talk about what it means to "get out in front." When God calls a man to do something rarely is it ever easy. When you are obedient to God's calling and get out in front of the problem, the enemy will put on a full press attack. Are you battle ready? Are you spiritually, physically, and mentally ready for battle? And who is in your corner? Masculinity takes intentionality men, and it takes an army. You can't do it alone."When God calls a man to do something rarely is it ever easy." // Garret BarbushAdventure Awaits!

Send us a textOn EP. 128 we continue the conversation around Moses and restoring masculinity. In order for us to change the culture around us, we have to be pursuing the mission God has called us to. As we see in the life of Moses, the calling often comes with doubt and confusion. When we push through that doubt it turns into a life of obedience. In order to restore masculinity in your own life, you need to push through that process. We need more men pushing through that process to ultimately change a culture."When we push through the doubt, it turns into a life of obedience."// Garret BarbushAdventure Awaits!

Send us a textOn EP. 126 we are talking about escaping the chaos and busyness of life and seeking solitude. Jesus often withdrew from the chaos, seeking out a quiet place to pray and talk to the Father. A change of pace and a chance of place will give us a change in perspective. As men we desperately want to slow down and get clarity from the Holy Spirit, but we don't know how to do it. Garret breaks down 5 practical tips to help you escape the chaos and find solitude. "Jesus often withdrew from the chaos, seeking out a quiet place to pray and talk to the Father."" // Garret BarbushIf you need an escape from the chaos and are looking for a change of pace and a change of place, check out our next EQ Elite Retreat in North Georgia, Sep 16-18.

Send us a textOn EP. 125 Garret shares an impactful story about a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was always a dream of Garret's to go to the Masters, specifically with his dad. When the opportunity finally arrived he was allowing financial circumstances to keep him from pulling the trigger. A great friend and mentor had these words of wisdom, "One of the emotions that you never want to live with is regret." Men, God has birthed dreams in every single one of us. But so often we just sit on those dreams and never act. What Holy Inspired dream is God calling you to act on? Don't live with regret, chase after that dream today!"One of the emotions that you never want to live with is regret." // Garret BarbushAdventure Awaits!

Men, following Jesus is the hardest thing you will ever have to commit to, but it's an adventure! Paul gives Timothy 5 lessons to help him in his faith journey.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.
