Iron Supplements is a podcast born out of my men's ministry, Iron Men. I endeavor to share Biblical insight that inspires men to grow in their relationship with God, their families, their friends, and the people they encounter daily. "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

Can I convince you that suffering is something to rejoice about in just 5 minutes?

Doubt undermines our relationship with God and corrupts our connection with the Spirit. How can we stop doubting? There is evidence of God but it requires faith to see it.
So many people lose their fire for God. How is it that we can “Never be lacking in zeal,” as Paul encourages us. Jesus gives us the answer in the Parable of the Soils.
Let’s face it. We’re not always on fire for God. So, what do you do when you’re having a hard time finding your spiritual zeal? On this episode I share two things to consider when you’re lacking a passion for God.
One powerful way to fan your passion for God into flame is to see people and to encourage them.
The only reason God would do your life with the Spirit is so you could use it to bring Him glory.

Daniel chapter 3 is one of the most familiar stories in the Bible, and yet as I read it again, I saw a different perspective that teaches me something new.
My spiritual brother Brian put in an order for an iron supplement that answers the question, "What does it mean to take every thought captive?"
Saul was an unlikely candidate for transformation, so what actually changed him to be so like Christ? Well, it wasn't simply a matter of getting the right information.

I needed another Christmas story to help me break out of my December blues. Here it is.
Romans 8:8 says, "Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God." The obvious question then is, how do I get ot of the realm of the flesh. In this episode, I give you three practical steps to do that very thing.
Jesus gives us the ultimate example of how to prepare to face temptation. He was led by the Spirit to a place of solitude whe he feasted upon the Word of God. He demonstrated his understanding of need for spiritual nourishment over physical nourishment by fasting for 40 days. He purposely weakened his flesh in order to strengthen his spiritual connection with God.
To connect with the Spirit, we must accept the reality of our existence. We are spiritual beings trapped in a physical existence for a short time. God leaves clues and roadmaps to assist us in recognizing truth, a truth that leads to Him.
Jesus would often withdraw to lonely places to disconnect from the demands of life and reconnect with the source of his strength. Likewise, we need solitude to encounter the Spirit.
The parable of the soils exposes the areas of our hearts that remain resistant to the Word of God. The Spirit will fill us, but only to the we allow. Preparing our hearts begins with soil examination.
Episode 1 in our new series Encountering the Spirit takes us that the first step is to recognize that the only vehicle that God uses to manifest his spiritual power is the Holy Spirit. Thus, in order to be a new creation, we need the Spirit more than life itself.
I talk with my brother from another mother, Chad, about whether Christians should observe the Sabbath
This episode is the third in the series of the armor of God. Being fitted with readiness is about our stance as well as our footwear. Let's be intentional about preparing to stand.
God gives us a special piece of armor that only comes through faith in him. This armor protects or heats and our relationships. It is righteousness based upon truth.
This episode is definitely for MEN. Truth is the foundation upon which everything is built, and God tells us to cover a very specific part of anatomy with it.
To have the abundant life, we must have our complete selves in health. My complete self is described in Deut 6:5 as my heart, my mind, my soul, and my strength. In other words, my emotional health, mental health, spiritual health, and physical health are all part of my connection with God.
Ever consider how what you say impacts others? The Bible sets a high standard for the way Christians are to use their words. Only the most powerful words can transform us into Christuans who meet that standard.
Chad Barker joins me for a discussion about the fruit of the spirit. Specifically, we discuss why it is described in the Bible as a singular fruit rather than multiple fruits.
Kevin answers the question from brother Sirus, If the Spirit was available to men in the O.T. and to the apostles, why did Jesus say that he had to leave them for the Spirit to be available to them.
