Iron Disciples Podcast

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!

The subject of Icons is not black a white as some would lead you to believe, it's a fascinating conversation thats unfortunately missed due to dismissive attitudes and ill formed presuppositions. Join us as we seek to understand what our Eastern Orthodox brothers teach Icons to be. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

We've heard these both online and in-person and we want to help you prepare yourself as you may face these questions and arguments in your own discussions with non-believers. We decided to split this topic into a series as they can quickly turn into large discussions. Let us know in the comments some arguments you have encountered. Topics covered in part 1: 1) All roads lead to God / just be a good person 2) The Bible has been translated many times so it is inaccurate or things have been lost in translation

In a culture of prosperity gospel, pastors wearing $2000 sweaters on stage, and evangelists worth 100s of millions we gotta ask ourselves how should we as Christians view money and wealth. Join us in this round table discussion as we explore this topic and try to understand it Biblically.

Will Spencer joins us again to talk about a topic you may have seen boiling up on social media of this Christ Pill vs Red Pill debate. Some Christian content creators have seemingly gone offensive against the red pill and the main content creators there so we figured we'd weigh in on the topic since we find great value in the red pill but also are obviously Christians and promote Christian values.

Today we are going to chat about some of the conversation going on around Kat Von D and her recent conversion to Christian and the backlash she got from Christians.

Glenn and Mike discuss the servant leader concept that evangelicals often push on men. Does the bible really tell husbands to be servant leaders? Is the way it is described by modern pastors even the correct way to think about it (basically happy wife, happy life). Or is that teaching from weak men pandering to women? Lets discuss this topic and find out. We touch on the latest article from Aaron Renn's newsletter. Audio version can be found on youtube here https://youtu.be/Zh9Cri1jXCw?si=Jg_7f2u7hgDUYJus

We welcome Mike Pantile on the podcast today along with returning guest Will Spencer to discuss some hot topics among the church or maybe hot topics that the church conveniently avoids. The red pill can be taken in a few contexts here but ultimately we view it as the reality of human nature. Feminism is based on many lies, especially in how God designed things.

Today we have the pleasure of talking to Joe Tewell about obesity in the church.

David has also written multiple essays and columns promoting Jesus' nonviolent ethos and personhood revolution for publications such as DailyCaller, Townhall, American Conservative, and FEE.

Points on recognizing Christian scapegoating and other furtive habits of the church were discussed. David has a fundamental approach that brings the abstract Jesus into a more vital incarnation- all this without dismissing the abstract but honing the focus to appropriate action and progress in the church.
