Send us Fan Mail Why do military squadrons and motorcycle clubs have zero trouble recruiting men, while the modern church constantly complains that men are "hard to reach"? In this episode, David "Goose" Mills (retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, author of Answer With Truth, and founder of Men's Alliance) breaks down why comfort is killing Christian brotherhood, why men are wired for a high bar, and how a 30-minute outdoor workout around a fire is pulling thousands of men out of isolation.

Goose shares his personal testimony of walking away from church at 18, serving 20 years in the Air Force, nearly losing his marriage in 2014, and finally tearing down the fence around the "last 5%" of his life to make Jesus his Lord. They also dive into why the word "relationship" isn't actually in the Bible, why Jesus gave men an action-oriented command ("Follow Me") rather than a comfortable invitation, and how to practice "kitchen table apologetics" so you can defend your faith and shepherd your kids through the hardest cultural questions.

Send us Fan Mail How do you know if you’re actually hearing God’s voice—or just convincing yourself that your own desires are His will? In this episode, Pastor Bil Cornelius (founding pastor of Church Unlimited and author of Pray Big, Listen Bigger) breaks down what bold, expectant prayer looks like, why God always corrects before He directs, and how men can break out of spiritual paralysis to lead with clarity.    Checkout Bil Cornelius and all that he's up to 👇Book: Pray Big, Listen Bigger [https://bilcornelius.com] Website: [https://bilcornelius.com] Church Unlimited: [https://churchunlimited.com] Digital Iron Rep Cayden Lasher sits down with Pastor Bil Cornelius to tackle the core struggles Christian men face with prayer, guidance, and spiritual direction. Bil unpacks his journey from leadership exhaustion to praying 100 hours straight, sharing how God transformed an overwhelming season into a global movement that has planted over 100 churches worldwide.   They dive deep into the "Cave Dwellers" season of King David, showing why God often isolates a man in weakness before trusting him with authority, and why God can easily steer a moving car but refuses to steer a parked one. Most importantly, Bil lays out an actionable playbook for the everyday man: kill distractions by ditching your smartphone, read Scripture systematically, bring your impressions before trusted mentors and your wife, and stop treating "waiting on God" as a passive spectator sport.    If you feel stuck, uncertain of your calling, or frustrated that heaven feels quiet, start here.    TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP WITH MEN OF IRON Score your Core5 Assessment [https://menofiron.org/connect-with-men-of-iron/] 🧗 BASECAMP - Daily devotionals built for men who want to grow:[https://menofiron.org/basecamp-free/] 🏔 RIDGELINE - go through it with other men.Small-group resources:[https://menofiron.org/resources/small-groups/] 👥 SUMMIT - be mentored, or mentor another man.Mentorship resources:[https://menofiron.org/resources/mentorship/] CHAPTERS: 0:00 How to Know If God Is Speaking (or Just Your Own Head) 2:42 The "Burrito Test" and Discerning God's Voice 4:53 God Corrects Before He Directs 6:50 Paul's Imprisonment & Why God Gives a Grand "No" 8:19 The Disney World Turning Point: Committing to 100 Hours of Prayer 12:35 The Global Vision: Planting Over 100 Churches Worldwide 15:31 Practical Focus: Leaving Your Phone Behind & Entering God's Presence 18:51 Testing What You Hear: Mentors, Marriage, and the Local Church 21:12 The Power Steering Principle: God Can't Steer a Parked Car 25:28 Cave Dwellers: David at Adullam and Turning Brokenness into Leadership 31:44 Stop Waiting on God: Why the Wait Is an Active Assignment 34:41 The Daniel Standard: Winning the Battles Nobody Sees 37:21 Advice for Every Decade of a Man's Life (Teens, 20s, 40s, 60s) 39:46 Mentorship That Works: Learning How Great Leaders Think 42:54 Where to Find 'Pray Big, Listen Bigger'    New episodes release every Monday morning at 7am ET, so be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it! #ChristianMen #Prayer #HearingGod #BilCornelius #MenOfIron #Discipleship #Faith #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualLeadership Support the show Ready for More?

Send us Fan Mail Can a nation truly remain neutral, or is every culture destined to serve a god? In this episode, Pastor Doug Wilson (pastor of Christ Church and contributor to Five Views on Christian Nationalism) breaks down the fierce debate around Christian nationalism, why secularism is failing, and why real reformation begins at your dinner table rather than Capitol Hill.  Checkout Doug Wilson and all that he's up to 👇 Book: https://canonpress.com/products/five-views-on-christian-nationalism/ Canon Press: https://canonpress.com Blog & Mablog: https://dougwils.com Christ Church: https://christkirk.com Men of Iron president Ryan Zook sits down with Doug Wilson to tackle the hardest questions surrounding faith, culture, and power in America. Doug unpacks his vision to "Make America Christian Again", the crucial distinction between the separation of church and state versus the separation of God and state, and what the Founding Fathers actually believed. They also dive into the reality of modern elections, breaking down why voting is a practical mechanism rather than a civil sacrament (and how to navigate the "two pirate ships" dilemma). Most importantly, Doug lays out an actionable playbook for everyday men: get your kids out of government schools, marry young, chop wood, take your family to worship every Lord's Day, and realize that culture is downstream from worship.

Send us Fan Mail Why do so many men cling to justified offenses until their marriages and relationships lie in ruins? In this final episode of our Jonah series, Men of Iron president Ryan Zook, Digital Iron Rep Cayden Lasher, and Lancaster Iron Rep Lloyd Herr unpack Jonah chapter 4 to confront the danger of nursing bitterness, why holding a "hurt flag" destroys families, and how unaddressed resentment turns men into isolated cynics.  What happens when a man refuses to release what happened to him? Ryan shares insights from a marriage retreat on why holding onto offenses is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Cayden breaks down how men mentally ruminate on past wounds like cud, while the team examines Jonah sitting furious outside Nineveh, caring more about a temporary shade plant than 120,000 human souls. Together, they challenge every man to consider how his story will end: trapped in bitterness on an isolated hill, or walking in grace that outlives him.  If you're the man who is quietly destroying your marriage or your legacy by refusing to let go of old hurts, start here.   TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP WITH MEN OF IRON Score your Core5 Assessment: https://menofiron.org/connect-with-men-of-iron/ 🧗 BASECAMP — Daily devotionals built for men who want to grow: https://menofiron.org/basecamp-free/ 🏔 RIDGELINE — Go through it with other men.

Send us Fan Mail What are you actually building with the authority God trusted to you? In this episode, Men of Iron president Ryan Zook, Digital Iron Rep Cayden Lasher, and Lancaster Iron Rep Lloyd Herr walk through Jonah chapter 3 to tackle why your life isn't about the corporate ladder, why real authority requires owning your mistakes, and how to lead both your business and your household with Kingdom purpose. Challenging the modern pursuit of status, income, and comfort. Lloyd unpacks a candid moment of losing his temper with his boys at bedtime, explaining why walking back in to say "Daddy messed up" builds more trust than pretending to be infallible. They break down the King of Nineveh stepping off his throne into sackcloth and ashes to model true leadership, why transactional apologies fail in marriage, and why Christian business owners have a mandate to actively disciple their teams in the marketplace.  If you're the man who has been winning at work while letting your leadership slide at home, start here.  TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP WITH MEN OF IRON Score your Core5 Assessment: https://menofiron.org/connect-with-men-of-iron/ 🧗 BASECAMP — Daily devotionals built for men who want to grow: https://menofiron.org/basecamp-free/ 🏔 RIDGELINE — Go through it with other men.

Send us Fan Mail Why do so many men hit rock bottom, survive the crisis, and still go right back to their old habits? In this episode, Men of Iron president Ryan Zook, Digital Iron Rep Cayden Lasher, and Lancaster Iron Rep Lloyd Herr break down Jonah chapter 2 to expose why pain alone doesn't produce humility, how men confuse self-absorbed prayer with actual surrender, and what it takes to break the cycle of isolation.  Ryan sits down with Cayden and Lloyd to confront the reality of male rock-bottoms. Lloyd shares the personal story of his father struggling with depression and withdrawing to his man cave when life collapsed, opening up a raw discussion on why men go numb during storms. Together, they analyze Jonah’s prayer from the belly of the fish—revealing a man who defended his spiritual resume and threw shade at others while drowning in the consequences of his own rebellion.

Send us Fan Mail Why do so many men look like faithful leaders at church, but act like complete strangers to their families at home? In this episode, Men of Iron president Ryan Zook and Digital Iron Rep Cayden Lasher kick off a 4-part series walking through the Book of Jonah, breaking down the gap between public Christian performance and private integrity, why avoiding God always comes with an expensive invoice, and how religious men often run the hardest from real obedience.  Today we tackle one of the most uncomfortable tensions in Christian manhood: What happens when your theology sounds godly, but your actions say the exact opposite? Diving into Jonah chapter 1 to show that the fish is actually the least important part of the story. Through the lens of a prophet running in the opposite direction of his calling, they expose the "curtain trap" of secret sin, why pagan sailors often display more genuine reverence for God than believers, and why you will never grow in your faith if you are lying about your walk.  If you're the man who is tired of faking spiritual health while your home life quietly falls apart, start here.  TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP WITH MEN OF IRON Score your Core5 Assessment: https://menofiron.org/connect-with-men-of-iron/ 🧗 BASECAMP — Daily devotionals built for men who want to grow: https://menofiron.org/basecamp-free/ 🏔 RIDGELINE — Go through it with other men.

Send us Fan Mail Why are so many men trapped in isolation and feeling like failures? In this episode, Russ Ewell breaks down why behavior modification fails, how to overcome secret struggles like porn addiction, and how real mentorship changes everything. Checkout Russ Ewell and all that he's up to 👇 Newsletter: https://deepspirituality.com/the-spiritual-frontier-introduction/ Book: https://deepspirituality.com/book/ Church: https://bacc.cc/team/russ-ewell/ Men of Iron president Ryan Zook sits down with Russ to get into the part of faith nobody preaches: the difference between "religious Christianity" and "spiritual Christianity," why behavior change without heart change just makes you better at managing your bank account, and the day a church program put Russ's son — who has Down syndrome — on a separate field. Russ didn't leave. He built a school, the technology, and inclusive leagues so no other kid would sit out. Then he wrote a book saying the rest of us have God wrong too. If you're the man who does everything right and still feels like God is disappointed in you, start here. WHAT WE GET INTO • Why most men want an older man in their corner — and almost none go looking • "Religious" vs. "spiritual" Christianity, and how to tell which one you're living • The real reason behavior change never sticks • What actual mentorship looks like — including the phone conversation everyone's going to argue about • Raising sons, inherited patterns, and the fear of becoming your parents • Formation vs. destruction: what to do with failure • How one man investing in one man built everything Russ has TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP WITH MEN OF IRON Score your Core5 Assessment https://menofiron.org/score-your-core5/ 🧗 BASECAMP — Daily devotionals built for men who want to grow: https://menofiron.org/basecamp-free/ 🏔 RIDGELINE — go through it with other men.
