Men weren’t created to do life alone. The Men of Iron Podcast exists to help men find real faith, lasting purpose, and authentic brotherhood in a world that leaves too many men isolated and distracted. Each week, we share honest conversations, biblical truth, and practical wisdom designed to help men grow stronger in the areas that matter most — what we call the Core5: • Faith • Family • Friends • Fitness • Finances You’ll hear real stories from men who are learning to lead themselves well, show up for their families, live with integrity at work, and pursue God with conviction — not just on Sundays, but in everyday life. This isn’t surface-level Christianity or motivational hype. It’s a call to live intentionally, build brotherhood, and leave a legacy that lasts. If you’re tired of drifting, doing life alone, or settling for less than God’s design — this podcast is for you. Changing a culture — one man at a time. Find out more at www.menofiron.org

How can pastors and men invest in true spiritual growth instead of just checking the box with events and programs? What can you learn from the story of Elijah to build strength, resolve, and purpose as a man of God? This week on the MOI Podcast, we welcome Josh Smith, pastor, father of five, and author of "The Man for the Day" and "The Titus 10." Josh shares his journey from starting with ten men and the Book of Titus, to raising up generations of strong, Christ-centered men in his church—and how you can do the same. “Events are a start, but real transformation happens when we intentionally disciple and invest in men, one life at a time.” Josh reveals the common pitfalls in men’s ministries, sheds light on the power of authentic relationships, and unpacks practical wisdom from Elijah’s life—preparation, direction, righteous resolve, and even embracing weakness. If you’re ready to step up as a husband, father, or leader and make an impact that will outlast your career or accolades, this conversation is your blueprint. Ready to lead differently?
