This episode features our friend Anthony Hubbard, who is the founder and creator of The Knights of The Men of Iron.  Men of Iron is an organization that uses the color and traditions of the knight of the middle ages, so that young men and seasoned men gather monthly to work side by side in their church, working to become knights in service to our Lord, the High King of all Creation, Jesus Christ.

Through brotherhood, discipleship, mentoring, and fellowship, Men of Iron will sharpen men both young and old to greater service to the King. This is accomplished during our monthly household meetings, work meetings, and tournament practice. Each of these provides a time of fellowship where men young and old can connect and learn from each other while receiving instruction in various skills and crafts related to the theme of Men of Iron, and spiritual development through the presentation of devotions and mentoring.

Welcome to 2023!  In this episode, my close friend Davin Lewis opens up about his experience of growing up fatherless and how it has impacted every aspect of his life.  There are so many young men that share this same plight.  How can we as men make an impact on the community of young brothers around us?
