Iron Disciples Podcast

This is our 9th episode of the Biblical series on Matthew. We take an inside look at the content covered in our bi-weekly Iron Disciples meetings. We dig into Matthew 10 and go over the notes John puts together for our group. Note: Had some tech issues this one. We lost audio near the end so ended up with camera audio so that's why the random change of audio quality near the end.

Dave joins us today to talk about  @AwakenWithJP  's video about his change in belief about God. We go through a few of the main parts of the video we thought were impactful and resonated with us. It's so great to hear JPs testimony and that he is using his large platform to push people in the right direction, which we obviously view as a saving relationship with Jesus. We hope JP has accepted Chr...

In this podcast we discover the process by which we choose leaders and judge their competence. There are few things held in high esteem as leadership, and for good reason. Leadership is the responsibility to help others grow and learn. Nothing is as important as that. The truth is you can't escape life without being led and leading others. Whether you are a leader of thousands or a leader of a hou...

What is Toxic Positivity? One definition commonly used is toxic positivity as the excessive and ineffective overgeneralization of a happy, optimistic state across all situations. The process of toxic positivity results in the denial, minimization, and invalidation of the authentic human emotional experience. It's an interesting topic we wanted to discuss because today there is a lot of success gri...

Recently, we had a live discussion on Instagram regarding men and why they aren't attending church in the West. Topics of this discussion include the pacification of the western church and it's leaders, the progression of feminism in churches since the Sexual Revolution, the need for brotherhood, apologetics, and self-persecution, and an assortment of other issues. We are joined by Glenn Lawrence...

In this episode, we discuss how habits and routine are key in keeping a steady growing relationship with God. We cover our own daily habits for examples and encourage you all to develop your own routine that keeps pushing you forward. Don't rely on motivation or inspiration to dive into the Bible or spend time in prayer. Make it a daily habit. You may feel some days that you get nothing out of it...

Today we discuss Proverbs 31 and how it describes a great wife and some of the sort of confusing things it mentions that don't fit the culture today. We also go over some polls that we asked our audience in what they find most valuable in their future wife as well as what would concern them most.

Today we hit the topics of training to failure and then touch on overtraining. We think training to failure and understanding your body and where it reaches failure is important in anyone's fitness journey. Overtraining can slow your progress as well, so we touch on some of the symptoms of that and the importance of what you are doing outside the gym to stay healthy. Socials/Podcast links https://...

Repost of a Youtube Live Mike did with  @glennlawrencepresents  about the red pill and Christianity. We cover frame, abstinence, church leadership, divorce, adultery, evangelizing to men, red pill and Biblical truths, and more. Check out Glenn's channel as well and help us continue these conversations that need to happen among Christians today.

Today we discuss in the opening some of the misconceptions of the red pill and how some Christian creators are going after it. We then dig into the topic of Frame and what that means to us and our thoughts on it from a Biblical perspective and relationally. The man as the head of the family needs to understand Frame and how to hold it. The 'happy wife, happy life' mantra that a lot of men, especia...

Spinning Plates, also known as non exclusive dating, is the topic today. Rollo Tomassi talks about this in his Rationale Male book and we have seen it come up in Christian articles where women are promoting the idea taking a 90 day period of non exclusive dating to vet their options with men. Is this a solution to the dating market today on vetting a potential spouse or will it cause more frustrat...

Bro splits, full body splits, banana splits... we cover the topic of some various workout splits that are common at the gym and then what we personally do and why. Ultimately we advise to stick to something that you can be consistent with, don't just copy the latest IG influencer because they seem to know what they are doing. Research and find a routine that works best for you.

What is the goal of the Iron Disciples group? We talk about that today as we explain how we want to encourage men of many different theological backgrounds to grow spiritually and physically. We also address how we view theological differences amongst Christians and where we see the priorities. Christians will divide over issues like baptism, gifts of the Holy Spirit, earth age, etc. Our aim is to...

We discuss the differences between adultery and sexual immorality/fornication in the Bible. It's an interesting topic because often people seem to assume adultery and fornication are synonymous when they are quite different. Feel free to raise any questions or thoughts in the comments on the Youtube version. 

Sleep is a key element in recovery and an overall healthy lifestyle. We give our opinions and advice on the topic as well as some of our favorite resources like Andrew Huberman and Dr. Matthew Walker. Good podcasts with Dr Matthew Walker on sleep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwaWilO_Pig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbQFSMayJxk

Today we cover grifters on a wide range of topics from fitness people, like the Liver King, to potential controversial views on how some churches could be labeled in a grifter category to some degree. Part of this conversion also involves us as a culture being addicted to the soundbite version of things rather than intaking it in full. We want the silver bullet instead of the hard work.

Today we discuss a chapter out of the Rationale Male Religion book titled Christian Kosher. Among other things, the topic is about Christians kowtowing to culture to keep the seats filled. This can range from things that are more amoral, like music style and dance, to moral issues, like views on gay marriage and abortion. We can see this in opinion polls that Christian views shift over time to oft...

We discuss a few questions we'd have for God if given the opportunity. We cover life on other planets, Satan, angels, hell, beauty and a few others. Know that we aren't claiming to know these answers and some of what we say could be inaccurate from a theology standpoint as we ponder this fun questions. We would love to know what questions you have for God or if you have any thoughts on the ones we...

Are you wearing your colorblind glasses and ignoring red flags? Today we talk about some of the red flags we have noticed in women in our experience. This is definitely not an exhaustive or rank ordered list. Tell us in the comments some of the red flags you look for.

Today we react to Jordan Peterson's discussion with Douglas Murray and Jonathan Pageau about science, religion, rationality, and ethics. Watching their full discussion will leave your brain worn out but we highly recommend it. It is interesting to watch these brilliant minds debate these topics and we hope to present a view of it through our Christian lens. The existence of God ultimately is requi...
