  • Virtue and The Gifts of The Holy Spirit (feat. Paul Cline): Prudence, Reverence, & Training The Will

    "Look to the saints, but look past them.... to the One they're looking to."


    Praise God! We're back! After Dom took a vacay to Cali and Nathan went to a wedding and took a trip to Chicago, Iron Sharpens Iron is back and better than ever. We were blessed to interview Paul Cline, Dom's good friend from South Bend about living a life of virtue and what it means to be holy. We talk about the fruits and the gifts of the Holy Spirit as well as trying to imitate Christ everyday. We also talk about how the sacraments are like Pina Coladas for the soul lol. You just have to listen to find out.


    You're awesome. You're a gift. Thank YOU for listening and supporting us. We're praying for you.


    Rock and roll,

  • The Healing Power of Jesus (feat. Mike Nolan): Humility, Intimacy, and The Language of Love
    "Intimacy now. Fruits later."
    Holy smokes!!! This week, we were blessed to interview Dom's uncle Mike! He went through Encounter’s ministry training, hosts a podcast called Shadow on the Water, and leads pilgrimages regularly to Medjugorje. In this episode, we dive DEEP. And I mean really deep into topics like what does it mean to sit at the feet of Jesus? What is humility? How can we die to ourselves? How can we be good stewards of our gifts? And where have I rooted my identity? Also, Mike shares some UH-MAZING eye witness testimonies about people who have been miraculously healed by the power of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus. Both physical healings, but more importantly, healings of the heart. He also travels with a really cool mic, and Dom and I are a lil jealous haha.
    We can't say thank you enough. For your support. For your prayers. For spending time with us.
    God bless,

  • Authentic Femininity (feat. Grace Ahlers): Receptivity, Humility, & Momma Mary

    "GO TO MARY"

    What a beautiful episode! This week we have the HONOR of interviewing our close friend Grace Ahlers. She just graduated from Iowa University, and now lives in Madison and works at Epic Healthcare Systems. In this conversation, we uncover what authentic femininity is, why it is worth pursuing, some of the challenges and fruits, and also a takeaway for the gentlemen too. We also discuss magnamamininity. Wait..... magnanamamamanity. Never mind lol. It's a big word that starts with "m", and it's a virtue that can help us all grow in holiness.

    You are a gift. Thank you for your support and prayers. We are praying and fasting for you every week.

    God bless,

    "This is the fight that needs to be fought. The race that needs to be run."

    Oh. Man. Literally. This week we had our good friend Nick Nguyen on the show to talk about manhood, testosterone, sweat, and holiness. Haha for real though, we were blessed to hear Nick's story, how he models his life on Jesus who is the epitome of masculinity, and how he pursues becoming a better man for his family and his soon to be wife. It's a beautiful conversation, and we hope you enjoy listening.

    Thanks for your love, your prayers, and all your support. We're praying and fasting for YOU.
