Iron Disciples Podcast

This is our 9th episode of the Biblical series on Matthew. We take an inside look at the content covered in our bi-weekly Iron Disciples meetings. We dig into Matthew 10 and go over the notes John puts together for our group. Note: Had some tech issues this one. We lost audio near the end so ended up with camera audio so that's why the random change of audio quality near the end.

Dave joins us today to talk about @AwakenWithJP 's video about his change in belief about God. We go through a few of the main parts of the video we thought were impactful and resonated with us. It's so great to hear JPs testimony and that he is using his large platform to push people in the right direction, which we obviously view as a saving relationship with Jesus. We hope JP has accepted Christ and will be praying for him.

In this podcast we discover the process by which we choose leaders and judge their competence. There are few things held in high esteem as leadership, and for good reason. Leadership is the responsibility to help others grow and learn. Nothing is as important as that. The truth is you can't escape life without being led and leading others. Whether you are a leader of thousands or a leader of a household you are an essential part of the community.

What is Toxic Positivity? One definition commonly used is toxic positivity as the excessive and ineffective overgeneralization of a happy, optimistic state across all situations. The process of toxic positivity results in the denial, minimization, and invalidation of the authentic human emotional experience. It's an interesting topic we wanted to discuss because today there is a lot of success grifters, prosperity preachers, and other forms of ignoring reality for a false positive view.

Recently, we had a live discussion on Instagram regarding men and why they aren't attending church in the West. Topics of this discussion include the pacification of the western church and it's leaders, the progression of feminism in churches since the Sexual Revolution, the need for brotherhood, apologetics, and self-persecution, and an assortment of other issues. We are joined by Glenn Lawrence further along in the livestream. Please bear with us as the audio saved from the IG live isn't very good quality.

In this episode, we discuss how habits and routine are key in keeping a steady growing relationship with God. We cover our own daily habits for examples and encourage you all to develop your own routine that keeps pushing you forward. Don't rely on motivation or inspiration to dive into the Bible or spend time in prayer. Make it a daily habit. You may feel some days that you get nothing out of it and that is okay, God is always at work and tomorrow is another day. Socials/Podcast links https://linktr.ee/irondisciples

Today we discuss Proverbs 31 and how it describes a great wife and some of the sort of confusing things it mentions that don't fit the culture today. We also go over some polls that we asked our audience in what they find most valuable in their future wife as well as what would concern them most.

Today we hit the topics of training to failure and then touch on overtraining. We think training to failure and understanding your body and where it reaches failure is important in anyone's fitness journey. Overtraining can slow your progress as well, so we touch on some of the symptoms of that and the importance of what you are doing outside the gym to stay healthy.

Repost of a Youtube Live Mike did with @glennlawrencepresents about the red pill and Christianity. We cover frame, abstinence, church leadership, divorce, adultery, evangelizing to men, red pill and Biblical truths, and more. Check out Glenn's channel as well and help us continue these conversations that need to happen among Christians today.

Today we discuss in the opening some of the misconceptions of the red pill and how some Christian creators are going after it. We then dig into the topic of Frame and what that means to us and our thoughts on it from a Biblical perspective and relationally. The man as the head of the family needs to understand Frame and how to hold it. The 'happy wife, happy life' mantra that a lot of men, especially Christian men, operate in leads to the husband being in the wife's frame and her ultimately leading.
