This week we close out our Faith Conversations for Men Series as we talk about man's highest calling, being the spiritual leader of your home. What does it mean to be the spiritual leader of your house? Are you modeling your faith well for your wife and kids? Ephesians 5 calls us to, "Love your wives as Christ loved the church." Being the spiritual leader of your home is the highest calling you have as a man! Men, take this role as the spiritual leader of your home serious. The responsibility is huge, but you don't have to hit a home run on day one. If you feel as if you don't know where to start or feel like you've messed it up in the past, it's not too late to try again. Failure is NOT final. God has a vision for your home and he wants you to tap into that vision. Ask God what that vision is and pray for that. Secular culture demeans men in a lot of ways, especially the role of a man in the home. Let's recapture God's design for us as men!Four Practical tips for being the spiritual leader in your home:Self Evaluate – Be honest with yourself and where you are at in this areaAsk Your Wife – Get your wife's viewpoint on where you are atFind a Mentor – You can't do this on your own, find a mentor to guide and encourage youStart Small – Pray at the dinner table, read bible stories to your kids, pray with your wifeRecommended Resource: Check out "20 Lessons That Build A Man's Family" – menofiron.org/product/20-lessons-familyYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

This week we continue our Faith Conversations for Men Series as we dive into another hard topic, "Faith Through Suffering." Men – you WILL go through suffering in life, it's all about how you deal with it. Knowing Jesus does NOT mean you won't suffer in life. We live in a broken world. What does faith look like through suffering? We tend to think we can't have seasons of suffering and doubt if we are strong enough in our faith. This concept of "having it all together" is one of the most harmful things to Christians and the church. When we put this facade up, and don't open about our suffering it causes more harm. Men are especially subject to this and it ultimately leads to isolation. What does scripture say? There's a long record in scripture of God's people being very vulnerable about the things they are struggling with. Being able to lament, mourn and confess and be real with God and one another. We see it firsthand with Jesus crying out in the garden and lamenting on the cross. We have an invitation from scripture to be real and to lament about our suffering. It will ultimately lead to healing.Three Practical tips for dealing with suffering:Confront the Pain – Be real about your pain and your grief with yourself and with GodRead your Bible – Find out what Scripture has to say about sufferingTalk to someone – Open up about your pain to your spouse, friend, a counselor, your small groupRecommended Resource: Check out this amazing book "Just Be Honest: How to Worship Through Tears" by our good friend Clint Watkins, www.thegoodbook.com/just-be-honestYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

This week we continue our Faith Conversations for Men Series as we dive into a hard and sensitive topic, "Church Hurt." Justin and Jeff talk through what church hurt is and what it isn't and provide some practical tips to navigate through it. A recent study shared that 60% of Christians have been impacted in a negative way by the church. The church is the hope of the world, but it's made up of people that are broken. What exactly is church hurt? Church hurt is when you trust in a spiritual leader, pastor, or friend at the church and that trust is broken. Church hurt occurs when pain (physical or emotional) results from the actions or decisions associated with someone in a church.Practical tips for dealing with church hurt:#1 – Tell someone – Get the necessary people involved (church leadership, family/friends, the authorities)#2 – Identify the hurt – Church hurt is a real thing, it's okay to feel it#3 - An individual hurt you, not God – Separate the humanity of the church from who God is#4 – Seek community – Don't try to battle this on your own#5 – Forgive – It will take time but start working through the process of forgiveness*If you have experienced serious church hurt, take the necessary steps today (Go to church leadership, and if necessary go to the authorities)You can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

This month we begin a new series titled, "Faith Conversations for Men." Justin and Jeff join the pod for week 1 as we discuss faith in the workplace. What does your faith look like at work? Here are some stats for you: 90% of Christians work in non-Christian work environments and one percent of Christians talk to non-Christians about their faith only one time a year. One percent, one time a year! Do you hide your faith at work in fear of what people may think? We have a natural human tendency to want to be accepted and fear often plays a huge factor in our ability to share our faith in a non-Christian environment. You don't have to be a theologian to be a light in your workplace. You can be real about your faith and still be approachable. Meet people where they are at. Be authentic about who you are and what you believe.5 ways to live out your faith in the workplace:#1 – Be authentic#2 – Be hard-working#3 – Be a friend#4 – Be loyal#5 – Don't compromise, hold to your convictionsYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

This week we wrap up our 5 week series on The 5F's as we close it out talking about FINANCES. The Bible has a ton to say about money, finances, debt, about providing for our families. If we are going to be men of integrity, finances is an area we MUST focus on! Most often, the reason your finances are suffering is because you are buying things you can't afford. This happens when we put our security in our social status, when we surrender to our consumeristic nature. Jesus teaches, do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:19-21). Invest in things that bring more people to Jesus. It's ultimately about stewardship, what we have is ours because God gave it to us. Men, it all starts with our relationship with Jesus. Most often when you are financially unhealthy your eyes are off Jesus. If you are invest in your faith, your finances will fall in line.5 Practical Tips to Thrive in Your Finances:#1 – Put God first#2 – Make a budget#3 – If married, regularly discuss finances with your wife#4 – Spend less than you earn#5 – Be a good steward of your moneyYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

If we are NOT physically healthy, we are not going to be able to use the gifts that God has given us. How do I make my fitness a priority?#1 – Start small, take the first step#2 – Get advice – talk to your wife, talk to God#3 – Build healthy habits#4 – Set some fitness goals#5 – Get some accountabilityIf you need help getting started, check out our 5-Week Fitness Challenge for beginners, Fit & Forged! – menofiron.org/fitandforgedYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube!

This week we continue our series on the 5F's as we turn our attention to FRIENDS. Why do men need friends? Most men, especially Christian men, feel like they don’t have a lot of or any close friends. We often have acquaintances but not friends. Friends is the The #1 most neglected F in the 5F’s.Why are friends so important to the Christian man’s walk?#1 – For Accountability – a friend to hold you accountable and challenge you#2 – For Growth, a friend to process life with and grow with#3 – For Adventure, a friend to hang out with and pursue adventure withLife gets busy with marriage, kids, and work that we often lose those early adulthood friendships. We often feel guilty sacrificing time with our wife or kids to go hang out with friends. Men, we weren’t meant to do this life alone. We need other men in our lives who will walk alongside us as we strive to be more like Jesus. We know, it’s hard to find Christian male friends without it feeling awkward! So how do I even get started? Be okay with stepping outside of your comfort zone, go to a men’s event at your church, seek out a mentor.

This week we finish our series on "The Four Man-Killers" that will knock men off their adventure to know God and their purpose. Week 3 we talked about Overcoming Lust, this week we talk about Overcoming Addiction. Webster describes addiction as a compulsive, exhibiting a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity. Addiction can cause anxiety, irritability, tremors, or nausea upon withdrawal or abstinence. Men, addiction WILL rob of us of the most important things in life.We can even be addicted to good things – career, fitness, hunting, hobbies. Being devoted or dedicated other than God is idolatry. God truly wants what's best for you. What are you spending your time doing? What are you putting before your relationship with God? We are ALL susceptible to addiction and we are all susceptible to things that can draw our attention away from what's most important.How do we overcome or stay clear of addiction:#1 – Take inventory of your time and desires#2 – Put God first#3 – Run towards what's good#4 – Establish positive habits in your life#5 – Seek out community and accountability (if you have serious addiction issues, seek professional help)You can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube!
