We are the Iron Disciples, in this podcast we talk about fitness, dating, theology, exploring these topics from a biblical stand point how to do these things as Christian men.
Christian apologetics conversations are growing. It's great to see men like Wesley Huff getting invites onto Rogan and Cliff and Stuart Knechtle on with Jake Paul and others. We encourage you to check out Wesley's debate with Billy Carson to see a great example of how to dismantle false statements about Christianity in a respectful way. These apologetic topics are important and we should all be gaining knowledge in them to better defend our faith. You will find it will give you far more confidence in sharing your faith as you learn how to handle the questions/rebuttals thrown at you.
After a lengthy hiatus, we are back to discuss prayer- What it is, how to do it, resources to mirror it, and a challenge to pursue it. Stay tuned for more episodes!
