This week we wrap up our Generosity Series as we sit down VP of Generosity Josh Henson to talk about what it practically looks like to give and be generous. Jesus said it is more blessed to give than receive. How do we do generosity well and intentionally? It all starts with cultivating a generous heart. It’s important to understand that we have been given resources to meet needsYou may be thinking there are so many organizations and places I can give to, how do I determine where and how much? Start where you are at, what resources has the Lord given you and how can you be generous to others in need?“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-8.Look around and see what needs God has put in front of you. Often generosity is about opportunity, prepare your hearts for these opportunities. If you have a neighbor that is hungry, go feed him. Be generous to those in your circle of influence. Your generosity should be spirit-led“If you the Lord keeps putting a need on your heart, you should be giving there.”Pray about it. Ask the Lord to reveal to you where you should be generous. Be sensitive to that and respond. If you are married, get your wife and kids involved in the process of generosity. Give cheerfully and without compulsion.Generosity is taking something you don’t own and giving it to meet a need that you can’t meet. God ultimately uses generosity as a tool to deepen our faith in Him. Through our generosity we get to be a part of some amazing things God is doing. How much should I be giving? The Lord asks us to give more, wherever you are at, give more. Wherever you are at with your giving, just start.If this podcast has impacted you in a positive way, please take the time to leave us a rating and a reviewIf you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – menofiron.org/contact-us\You can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

This week we continue our Generosity Series as we sit down with Men of Iron advocate Corby Ziegler. All this month we are talking about Biblical generosity and what it means to be generous. Corby has been involved with Men of Iron for over 15 years."I remember seeing the difference in men's lives as they went through Men of Iron at my church."Corby started investing financially in Men of Iron over the years and eventually got even more involved. Corby had the opportunity a couple years later to go through an executive mentorship with Men of Iron. Corby knew it was the right time to go to the next level."Before Men of Iron I believe I was a good father and husband, but Men of Iron equipped me to be even better."After going through a Men of Iron mentorship Corby realized the importance of this program for all men, and it led him to become a monthly partner with Men of Iron. Being a monthly partner has provided him a constant commitment to give to a program he believes in. Corby's dream for Men of Iron and his church, is for every man to be mentored or be a mentor. "If we are not pouring into another man's life, or allowing another man to sharpen us, we get pretty stagnant."If this podcast has impacted you in a positive way, please take the time to leave us a rating and a reviewIf you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – menofiron.org/contact-us\You can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

Use the code "menofiron" for 10% off your next purchase!This week we begin our Generosity Series as we sit down with our VP of Generosity Josh Henson. Generosity is simple, it is giving a resource that we have to meet a need. Biblical generosity is all about stewardship. All the resources we can use to be generous, don't come from us, God is the source and owner of all these resources. If we don't understand this it's hard for us to be generous. When we understand all we have is God's we are free to use these resources to do the work of the Lord. It is ultimately a blessing to be a part of the work that God is doing. "A lot of times we don't run out of resources, we run out of faith."We often look at generosity as a switch to turn on or turn off but God says there is an unlimited amount. God says in every situation be generous. "You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God." 2 Corinthians 9:11 (NIV). God wants you to unlock those resources he has given you. As you release your resources to the Lord, you can now focus on where the needs are. Culture says if you want it all go get it, but God says if you want it all you have to give it all.Stay tuned for next week as we continue our Generosity Series with a Men of Iron advocate, and talk to them about why they give.If you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – https://menofiron.org/contact-usFind out more at https://menofiron.org

Joby Martin is the founder and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22 (https://coe22.com) in Jacksonville, Florida. In addition to providing The Church of Eleven22 with vision and leadership, Pastor Joby is a national and international preacher and teacher. Joby grew up in South Carolina and spent much of his Sunday mornings hunting and fishing, and not at Sunday service. Joby knew of God but knew nothing of Jesus being the propitiation of his sins. He was at youth camp as a teenager and the counselors reenacted the crucifixion of Jesus, they gave a gospel presentation and a salvation invitation.Check out Joby Martin's new book Stand Firm & Act Like Men (https://www.amazon.com/Stand-Firm-Act-Like-Men/dp/1546008217). Becoming the Man You Were Created to Be Instead of Who the World Says You are.Joby would later go back to that same camp in college, and started preaching. It was at camp that one of the speakers said, "Some of you need to go into full-time vocational ministry," and Joby felt like God was talking to directly to him.So I went and talked to my pastor and he said, "God will always confirm what he calls," and he invited me to be an intern.Joby went on to launch his church in 2012. At The Church of Eleven22, they are calling all men to stand up and act like men. "There is a real attack on manhood in today's culture." It's a high holy calling to be created in the image of God as a man. To be a provider, protector, and servant king.The problem is that men have abdicated their responsibility to be advancers of the Kingdom of God"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong." 1 Corinthians 16:13 (NIV). The most dangerous thing a man can do say, "I got this." You cannot act like a man until you bend your knee down to Jesus and have him help you do what you can't do. To be a man is to imitate Jesus. It's pride that leads men to say they got this on their own.We all need men in our lives, Mark 2 mat carriers, friends who will carry you to Jesus when you can't walk. Write down those four men right now, if you can't write those four men down you aren't doing it right. The enemy is trying to steal kill destroy, we need a band of brothers to distinguish the flames of the enemy. Do you have friends that have enough faith that when y

Pete grew up in Brooklyn with a single mom, because of a dad who was never present. Pete was a pastor's kid, but his dad was always out doing ministry and never at home. "That's what ministry was for me, my dad was off doing something great, but here we are on food stamps in section eight."Despite his dad being gone, Pete had a lot of amazing men that served as father figures in his life for certain seasons. Because of his relationship with his father Pete still struggles with male relationships. "As I've matured I have realized the benefit of being surrounded by other guys in any capacity." Pete credits the mentors, the father figures, in his life that have walked with him through tough seasons. Acknowledging his dad's flaws is not a criticism; it's allowed Pete to grow as a husband and father. The best thing we can do as men is to allow time and space for vulnerability. Vulnerability does not came naturally for men, but it's vital for growth. If you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – https://menofiron.org/contact-usYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

Vinnie grew up in a Christian home but it was a home that felt very legalistic. To Vinnie the Bible felt like "a big book of no." Vinnie saw Christians as hypocrites, there was no love, it was all about rules. At 16 Vinnie wanted to go his own way so he moved to New York City to do comedy, and that's where he met his wife Monica. A couple years later Monica ended up getting cast as Sarah in Abraham as Sarah at Sight and Sound Theatres in Lancaster, PA. Vinnie's hometown. Vinnie was furious, worried that her knew role at Sight and Sound would draw her back towards Christianity. It was during this season at Sight and Sound that Monica rededicated her life to the Lord.On his way to visit Monica in Lancaster, Vinnie was involved in a near-death motorcycle accident. An EMT on the scene told Vinnie, "You need to thank the good Lord you are alive, because He saved your life today." It was after this accident that things started to shift for Vinnie."In my room by myself, I made my peace with God. I said I believe you are who you say you are. I have some issues, especially when it comes to Christian men, but I am reluctantly yours."Vinnie's journey of spiritual growth began when he moved back to Lancaster, PA. "Something changed in that space, and so much had to do with the men that surrounded me. These men represented Jesus and Christianity in a way that was the polar opposite of what he experienced growing up in church. Vinnie would go on to become the children's pastor at Victory Church and eventually was introduced to Men of Iron. Mentorship is iron sharpening iron, it's the clanging of steel, it's not easy. That character is what we are after, but we don't always want to do the hard work to get it. I think pride keeps men from asking for help from other men. Mentorship is all about being a better husband, father and disciple.If you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – https://menofiron.org/contact-usYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

Lou grew up Catholic, in a great family with great parents. He got away from his faith during his young adult years, until he met his wife Melissa."I thought I had faith through my upbringing but realized I didn't have a relationship with Jesus."Melissa challenged Lou in his faith and had the hard conversations he needed to hear. After one of those hard phone calls, Lou hung up mad, but God spoke to him in that moment. They ended up getting married and got plugged into a local church. Lou credits the people and men he met at Victory Church for changing his life. A good friend of Lou's suggested he go through Men of Iron, that it would be great opportunity to grow in his faith."I've been involved with Men of Iron for 12 years, as a mentor and a protege, it's done so much for me that I can't say thank you enough."Lou wants men to know that it doesn't matter what your struggle is, there is a mentor for you, you need someone to walk through this with you. Men,  you will not sit across the table from a perfect person, we are all going through something. A mentor isn't going to tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. Knowing that there are other men out there that can walk the journey with you, it's an amazing thing."It's not just the changes I see that I care about, it's what my wife, my kids and friends see and hearing them say there is something different about him."Men of Iron took this broken guy and put me back together and made me stronger. When you get knocked down and you struggle it's okay to admit your struggles and get back up again. If you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – https://menofiron.org/contact-usYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

For 12 years Garret was the CEO of Men of Iron, leading the organization and building a strong foundation for where Men of Iron is today. Garret grew up in the church and accepted Christ at an early age. At the age of 9, at a Royal Rangers camp, Garret felt the presence of the Holy Spirit for the first time. Responding to an altar call, he heard God say to him, "I'm going to use you in a big way." Despite decades of turmoil and counseling working through the trauma of sexual abuse and molestation at an early age, Garret looks back at this moment at Royal Rangers as instrumental in his faith journey.As a younger sibling, Garret always struggled with feeling like he had to "measure up" to what his siblings had done."That became my mentality with my faith, I have to earn God's respect, I have to earn God's love. I had this warped reality of who God was, that God wasn't my Father, I just had to impress Him."In college is when Garret started to take on his faith as his own. Garret credits a college professor, Doctor Shane Johnson as the first man in his life who showed him what it meant to be a man. "He was harsh, he was firm but it was always the truth." This was a major turning point in Garret's life, that woke him up to the fact that he wasn't living the right way.Mentorship isn't that hard, it's just making yourself available to others, Doc Johnson made himself available to Garret. In 2011, on his honeymoon, Garret felt an overwhelming sense from God that something was going to change. Later in 2011 the Founder of Men of Iron, Garret's brother-in-law Bryan, approached Garret to lead Men of Iron as the CEO. As soon as Garret made this move God anointed him with this passion for men getting it right, and leading their families well.Mentorship changed Garret's life and he wants to provide that to as many men as possible. He believes that mentorship is so vital, because as men we screw it up on our own. "You can find someone that has more knowledge and experience, they've been there and done that." There is so much we can glean from mentorship, but we have to take a posture of humility and say I don't have it figured out but I'm willing to do what it takes. Mentors see something in us that we don't see them in ourselves.If you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – https://menofiron.org/contact-usYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

Support our mission to change a culture, one man at a time – https://menofiron.org/donateThis week we wrap up our Faith in Sports Series with Lancaster Stormers Chaplain Josh Beers. Josh grew up in a Christian home with faith at the forefront, but it was sports that he worshipped. "I lived for whatever athletic season I was in. What I was worshipping was temporal, and I was living for the next moment and competition." God got ahold of Josh as a freshman in college, and that's where his faith journey truly began. As Josh gave his life to Jesus he believed that sports would have to go to the back burner, but God had other plans."I began using sports as a platform to point people to Jesus, build character and make disciples." - Josh BeersJosh dives into the importance of mentorship in the sports world and in his own life. "In my own walk I am always looking for that man who is a few years ahead of me and asking them questions so they can sharpen me." In the sports world players have coaches who are teaching them, mentoring them and sharpening them to take it to the next level. Iron sharpening iron is all about what does the next step look like in your journey. Where can you find that man, that mentor to sharpen you? Most men who are struggling to find a mentor are not intentionally pursuing it or are afraid to ask. We all need people in our lives who see things in us that we don't see ourselves. The enemy wants us to be isolated, we need to break through that shell and admit we need help. It's actually a sign of strength to admit that we need a mentor. We are all going through the same battles together, how do we lean into that?If you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – menofiron.org/contact-usYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

Support our mission to change a culture, one man at a time – https://menofiron.org/donateThis week we continue our Faith in Sports Series with Olympic and World Champion Wrestler Kyle Snyder. In this episode, Kyle shares his incredible journey of wrestling and faith. At a young age Kyle wanted to be an Olympic Champion. Wrestling was everything. Kyle shares how his wrestling career shaped his understanding of God."Through wrestling I found out who God was and who Jesus is." Kyle is a 2016 Olympic Gold Medal winning wrestler. He is the youngest Olympic gold medalist and youngest World Champion in American wrestling history. He was a 3-time NCAA National Champion at Ohio State with a career record of 75-5 and ended his college career as the first and only wrestler to win the NCAA, World and Olympic championships as a collegiate athlete.After moving to the Olympic Training Center as a senior in High School, Kyle started going to Bible studies at the request of coaches and continued attending them as a freshman at Ohio State. Despite his desire to grow in his faith, his identity was still wrapped up in his wrestling accomplishments.A heart breaking loss in the NCAA Finals as a freshman sent Kyle into a state of depression and ultimately led to him surrendering it all to Jesus. This decision changed Kyle's life, allowing him to embrace his God-given abilities fully.Throughout this conversation, Kyle emphasizes the importance of being anchored in God's Word and how his commitment to studying the Bible and finding mentorship continues to strengthen his faith.Kyle concludes by highlighting that our ultimate purpose in life is to know God, grow in His character, serve Him, and teach others about Him.If you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – menofiron.org/contact-usListen to the Men of Iron Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, wherever you stream your podcasts!

Support our mission to change a culture, one man at a time – https://menofiron.org/donateThis week we continue our Faith in Sports Series with Messiah University Associate Head Soccer Aaron Faro. Aaron grew up in upstate New York with a strong faith foundation and a deep desire to see faith and sports run together. Aaron said that at a young age his identity was wrapped up in his athletic accomplishments."My athletics were not surrendered to God."As an alum of Messiah University, he describes his years at Messiah as some of the most significant years of growth. As his love for Jesus deepened, he watched the Lord reorder his priorities and put faith above sports. It ultimately gave Aaron a deep desire for coaching and helping other athletes recognize this and learn to put Jesus above all else. As Aaron surrendered his life to the Lord, the Lord gave sports back to Aaron in the form of coaching.Your college years are very foundational, and who you surround yourself with is huge. At Messiah University, Aaron wants it to be an environment where men grow, are sharpened, and ultimately grow closer to the Lord. They are constantly talking constantly about the value of relationships and that deep relationships is something we were created for. Being vulnerable, sharing one another's burdens, being real with one another and submitting to accountability. These our not very common practices in our culture, especially for men.Sports is such a powerful tool for connecting with people. It lends itself so well to building deep relationships. When we surrender all things to the Lord he can use them. There is a huge need in our culture for men to be all of who God's created them to be. When men aren't all that God's created them to be there is a huge gap and a huge ripple in every sector of our culture. "When I think of my legacy, I think of the life of Jesus and the way that he poured into people. I want my legacy to be that I helped people move closer to Jesus. The coach in me desires to see them reach their potential and use that to impact others."If you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – menofiron.org/contact-usListen to the Men of Iron Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, wherever you stream your podcasts!

Support our mission to change a culture, one man at a time – https://menofiron.org/donateThis week we kick off our Faith in Sports Series with a powerful testimony from Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Cavs Chaplain Nobles Darby IV!! A pastor’s kid who fell from grace. Nobles received a calling into ministry at a young age. He went on to become a D1 athlete with a scholarship to play football at Bowling Green. The loss of his grandfather shortly after sent him into a downward spiral. Which ultimately left him off the team, suspended from school and back home.Battling depression and suicidal thoughts he remembered the words of his grandfather before his death, “You gonna need God to make it through college and life.”In that moment Nobles repented and turned to God, the God of second chances. Nobles went back to school and walked the stage of a 4-year university a couple years later. Which ultimately led him back to the game he loved, but this time as a Chaplain. Now Nobles uses his story to impact professional athletes and the community as a whole.At the early age of 13 he knew that God was calling him into ministry. At a special prayer service led by his grandfather, he was standing in a circle and felt the presence of the Holy Spirit for the first time. An overwhelming sensation and a voice saying "GO!" He walked up to the alter to his grandparents and said, "I want to know what God's will is for my life."Out of fear Nobles ran from his calling, he was terrified of it. But three years later, at only 16, he was ready to accept God's call on his life."My yes to God at 16 ran ahead of my 20 years and is opening up doors now."Nobles now uses his powerful testimony to encourage pro coaches and athletes. Nobles also serves as the FCA Metro Cleveland Director for Cleveland FCA - www.clevelandfca.org"The thing I'm most concerned with, is how do I win at home? It can only come by being sharpened, we all have blind spots and need another man to call those out. The Holy Spirit is our spotter, he sends and puts people in our lives that can see things we can't see. I want to encourage the men I'm around , the athletes and coaches I'm around to leverage their platform of influence to point people to Jesus Christ.""My legacy is a man who had enough faith to take God at his word to watch him do what he did with no expectation other than seeing Jesus be glorified. I just want to see the name of Jesus will be lifted up in sports. God wants us to prioritize a souls over stats mentality. When we as men prioritize the health of our soul God allows everything else to flow from a place of priority because our priority is Him."Get to know Nobles or book him for your next event! – www.noblesdarbyiv.com/homeIf you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – menofiron.org/contact-usListen to the Men of Iron Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, wherever you stream your podcasts!

It's a challenge to put an end to that work day when you can easily access email, to-do's and messages on your phone.Men, your wife, your, kids, your family deserve your undivided attention.What can we continue to do to be more present and intentional at home? Your kids are smarter than you think and see what you do and don't do. The minute you step foot in that door they are excited to see you and spend time with you.

Support our mission to change a culture, one man at a time – https://menofiron.org/donateThis week, in Episode 258 of the Challenges Men Face series, we dive into another tough question, "Is it okay to be angry at God?" Difficult seasons in life often lead us to question God. Why did you let this happen to me? Why am I going through this? When we look at men like Job, we see that God did not condemn Job for being angry at him, he helped Job work through it. Men, it's okay to voice our frustrations with God. Every moment of your life, good or bad, has helped shape who you are today. It's okay to wrestle with God, but we also have to understand God is ultimately in control. Who you turn to at the end of your frustrations is what matters most. Life was never meant to be easy. Jesus warned his disciples that as followers of Christ would come with a cost."If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." John 15:19 (NIV).Our encouragement to you today is to see God in the good or bad. It's okay to be angry with God, voice your frustrations to Him, turn to Him. Surround yourself with those who push you closer to Him, knowing that He has been faithful in the past and will remain so in the future.If you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – menofiron.org/contact-usYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

Support our mission to change a culture, one man at a time – https://menofiron.org/donateThis week, we continue the Challenges Men Face Series with a crucial discussion on "The Lies Men Believe." From the very beginning, Adam and Eve's relationship with God was derailed by believing a lie from Satan: "Did God really say that? Is that really who God is?" The enemy continues to use deceit to steer us away from God's divine purpose in our lives. These lies hinder our journey with God and lead us astray, preventing us from fulfilling our calling as men.Here are some of the prominent lies that men often fall victim to:"I don't have what it takes.""I need to earn my value from God.""I'll never be as good as that guy.""I can do it by myself."To combat these lies effectively, consider practical steps:#1 - Confront the Lie: Recognize and confront the lie head-on. Don't allow it to take root in your mind unchallenged.#2 - Seek Accountability: Surround yourself with godly men who can identify these lies and help you stay on track with God's truth. #3 - Replace with God's Truth: Replace the lie with the truth of God's Word.#4 - Know Your Identity in Christ: Let this truth define you rather than the lies you hear or believe.#5 - Community: Build a community of godly men who will stand alongside you in life's battles. By actively confronting, correcting, and replacing these lies with God's truth, we can overcome the obstacles that hinder our walk with God and embrace the fullness of our calling as men of God.If you are struggling in your role as a husband, father or leader, we would love to be a resource for you, contact us today – menofiron.org/contact-usYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

Support our mission to change a culture, one man at a time – https://menofiron.org/donateThis week, we kick off the "Challenges Men Face Series" with a bold and timely conversation: What does it mean to be a man? In Episode 255, we delve into this hot-topic question by contrasting biblical masculinity with modern cultural expectations.At Men of Iron we define a man by what the Bible says. But what does culture say? Men have taken a back seat in today's culture, it's become taboo to invest in men. Men are afraid to lead and stand up for truth. The Bible is clear is in saying that men are suppose to lead the family, lead the church and lead culture.Culture, families, and communities are healthiest when men are healthy and caring for the people they are leading.We are not promoting toxic masculinity, we ARE promoting biblical masculinity. As men our top priority should be to reflect Jesus, what did Jesus do? Jesus was a strong, passionate leader that did some controversial things that we tend to gloss over. Jesus was direct, not afraid to lead and not shy about what His mission was. But at the same time He was gracious, loving, compassionate. It is a healthy and manly thing to be spiritually wise, discerning and to support people when they need supported and confront people when they need confronted. Culturally we have stepped away from the hard things and we see the negative results of it. Fatherlessness in the United States is skyrocketing, men's mental health is at an all-time low, men don't have friends. There are real challenges in the world and we have to address them.What are some practical tips to discovering what it means to be a godly man?#1 - Know God – Strengthen or establish your relationship with God, it all starts here#2 - Read your Bible – Pickup a Bible, learn about the character of God, learn about who Jesus was and what he did#3 - Find godly friends – Surround yourself with men that will teach you about what it means to be a godly man#4 - Get a mentor – Accountability is key, you need another man to hold you accountable and help you growA man that is manly without being godly is dangerous. Go after godliness first and use the gifts and talents God has given you to build the Kingdom. Getting around the right guys is crucial, Jesus put 12 guys around him. Godless culture is going to tell you that you can do it yourself. God has called men to be leaders and that means we have to make tough decisions and stand up for what is right. When you are walking with God you will make the decisions that God wants you to make. When we think about what it means to be a man we have to look at the first man, Adam. While he enjoyed that work he thrived in his relationship with God because he was daily walking with God in his creation. We are created to care for what God entrusted us with we walk with God daily and work together with the people around us.

Join us for Part 3 of The Wives Restoration Series with Jen Rhoads! A four-part series giving us a glimpse into the lives of 4 different wives and their side of their husband's restoration story.Jen grew up in a conservative religious family, knowing she was loved but never hearing it. She became a Christian at 13, motivated more by the fear of going to hell than a love for God. Marlin experienced a very similar upbringing, they met at a Bible school one summer, and would eventually get married. Early challenges in the marriage arose as they left their home church, stopped attending church altogether, and Marlin started hanging out with the wrong crowd. These unhealthy habits eventually led to Marlin asking Jen to move out.Despite these trials, Jen's unwavering faith carried her. In 2012, after a season of separation, Marlin wanted to get back together but it wouldn't last long. After their daughter was born Jen discovered that Marlin was having an affair and now faced with the pain of a second separation. Through it all, Jen leaned on God, practicing what she calls "benevolent detachment," releasing burdens and trusting in His plan. A turning point came when she felt God promise a shift in their marriage—and in November 2014, Marlin sought to reconcile again.Fast forward to 2020, during another rough patch, Marlin signed up for a one-to-one mentorship with Men of Iron. The mentorship transformed his life. The encouragement and camaraderie from another man helped Marlin grow as a husband, father, and spiritual leader. Today, Jen sees the fruits of this decision—their marriage has stability, their children feel the peace in their home, and Jen has found it easier to trust God.If you are looking to take the next step in your faith journey, let us be a resource for you, contact us today – menofiron.org/contact-usYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.

This week we sit down with Nyasha, as she shares her journey through dating, deaths in the family, and a thriving marriage with her husband Cesar.Nyasha grew up in the church and later attended Lancaster Bible College. Through her best friend, she met Cesar, and their story began. Despite coming from different ends of the country and different upbringings, their faith in God ultimately drew them together. Their relationship blossomed, with Caesar demonstrating spiritual leadership even while dating. But life wasn’t without challenges. Caesar faced deep loss, and together they endured a difficult season in their marriage. Through prayer and encouragement, Nyasha reminded him of his calling and God’s faithfulness.Men's of Iron's Anchoredman Bootcamp (menofiron.org/product/anchoredman-leaderpack) became a pivotal experience for Caesar, helping him grow spiritually and connect with other men. Moving from California to Pennsylvania, Caesar found it hard to form close friendships, but this program became a bridge, strengthening him as a husband, father, and leader."When men are committed to leading well the ripple effect it has on their families and communities."If you are looking to take the next step in your faith journey, let us be a resource for you, contact us today – menofiron.org/contact-usYou can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.
