    Grudges Are Silently Poisoning You | The Jonah Series EP #4

    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.

    Stop Chasing the Wrong Win | The Jonah Series EP #3

    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.

    Why Most Men Never Change After Crisis | The Jonah Series EP #2

    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. They contrast Jonah 2 with Daniel 9 to show what genuine, contrite repentance looks like and how to step out of the repeating loop of sin and guilt.  If you're the man who has hit the bottom and realized your survival tactics haven't changed your heart, 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.

    The Most Godly Men Fail Here | The Jonah Series EP #1

    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.

    The Myth Behind "God Is In Control" | Ft. Ryan Maher

    Send us Fan Mail Why do so many men walk away from faith the moment tragedy strikes? In this episode, Ryan Maher (founder of Trust God Bro and author of The God Worth Trusting) breaks down the dangerous theology behind "God is in control," how unresolved grief turns into hidden anger at God, and why understanding His true character changes everything. Checkout Ryan Maher and all that he's up to 👇 Book: https://trustgodbro.com/products/the-god-worth-trusting Ministry: https://trustgodbro.com Her True Worth: https://hertrueworth.com Men of Iron president Ryan Zook sits down with Ryan Maher to tackle the hardest questions in faith: If God is all-powerful, why did He allow your loved one to die or your life to fall apart? Ryan shares the raw story of losing his mother to addiction and his military best friend in Afghanistan in the same year—and how clichéd Christian answers almost derailed his walk. They break down the difference between God’s sovereignty and human freedom, why the phrase "God needed another angel" does more harm than good, and how to build a resilient faith before the storm hits.
