Simple Wholesaling With Brett Snodgrass

Before marriage, men pursue their future wives with great focus, persistence and tenacity. But after the wedding day and the honey moon, things can start to cool off. Not to mention a few years passing by and throwing a couple kids in the picture.Chris Chandler joins Brett to let men know why dating your wife matters. It's drastically important to continue a pursuit of intimacy with your wife throughout your marriage.Life can get busy with work, ministry and responsibilities. One situation that commonly happens is spouses prioritizing all of their focus on their kids that they stop focusing on each other. Sadly, this leads to many marital problems. Parents should love their kids and give them lots of focus and attention, but spouses need to make sure to prioritize each other in the same way, with even more emphasis. If you know your kids better than your wife, that might be an issue.

Many times when a Christian gets a high-paying job or an elevated position they usually say, "God has blessed me." Which may be true. But what happens 6 months later when difficulties arise and hardships abound? Is it still considered a blessing?Pain Points are actually more important than the money we're making. Pain Points help reveal what's really in our hearts. They help sharpen us, and we need to learn how to have the Biblical perspective of counting them all joy.If you get passed over for a promotion, if your work goes unnoticed, how content are you? What are you focused on more, opportunities to share your faith where you're at, or the amount of money you will receive?It's okay for Christians to want more, but we need to make sure we're demonstrating our faith in our business more than we're working to build our own kingdom.Listen as Pastor Owen Williams shares about his experience in both the pulpit and the corporate world. He'll help navigate through the importance of right beliefs and mindsets that direct our personal and spiritual growth.OWEN'S WEBSITE: https://www.oewilliamsministries.com/OWEN'S BOOKS: https://www.oewilliamsministries.com/books

Technology advancements have caused everyone to spend extended time engaged in digital spaces. Whether we like it or not, this trend keeps increasing. The world we are stepping into is continually growing drastically more digital.Digital universes or metaverses we interact in aren't all fake. When we interact with others online, it's an extension of ourselves. The scary part comes in because there is a merging of reality with fake spaces. Most of the time, the metaverses that exist do cause more harm to users. They're built to addict users to spend more time there which gains the builders of the platforms more money. And trying to keep people engaged isn't governed by moral obligations. Many times more deplorable content is introduced to suck users into these digital universes even more, even to their harm.So what can the church do?

Pastor & Political Science Major, David Tillman, speaks on the hard topic of how Christians should engage in politics. Some Christians wonder if they should engage of politics at all, but David makes it very clear that Christians from a Biblical perspective, are supposed to engage in politics.Yes, Christians belong to a spiritual Kingdom that Christ is king of, but Christ also has us here in the earth, placed in a specific nation and systems that we're in to be a light and bring change and impact. As US citizens, we have a responsibility to affect policies by exercising our vote.30 million evangelicals didn't vote in the last election. This is a staggering number. If the church abdicates our role from helping to direct the nation's policies with righteous morals then wicked people will influence laws and policies with anti-biblical morals.Some argue we shouldn't push our morals on other people, but many policies our government enacts are admitted as moral matters. There are always moral views being pushed in public policies, whether it's the church or non-Christians. Listen as Mike & David discuss this important topic.

Do you know what you're Designed for? Most people don't even know what their giftings or talents are. Or if they know, they have a small understanding.

And furthermore, what do we do with these gifts and talents?Brett & Josh discuss biblically the mandate God gives us for using the talents He has blessed us with.

Many times there is risk involved, but that shouldn't be a deterrent from stepping out and using what God has blessed us with.Listen to Brett & Josh share about ways we can grow in utilizing our gifts and talents more effectively, and how we can help others grow, so that none of us will be found wasting our talents when God comes to ask us what we've done. We can live in a much fuller potential if we truly understand how God can bless even the very little He puts in our hands.

When it comes to relationships, do we think of them as being something we're supposed to steward well? And if so, how do we steward the relationships God has intended for us according to His word?We must ask ourselves why did God create man in the first place? It was because He desired relationship with us. He also intended us to have relationship with others. Genesis 2:18 says, "Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”Things can be replaced, but people can't be. Relationships are of the utmost importance to God in why He created us and deal with how He intended for us to live. We all have relationships of some type, and this is something we all have to examine and evaluate to know what types of relationships God wants us to have and how they should be cared for and fostered.Types of relationships that God wants to bless include husbands with wives, parents with children, godly friendships, mentorships, and more. Listen to Brett & Mike discuss relationships and the bible and how God wants us to steward our relationships.https://www.irondeep.com/

Every business is a people business, and it's of utmost importance to keep people in mind within your own organization as well as the clients you serve.Colossians 3:23-24 says, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ."

Most entrepreneurial dads want to stay healthy and fit, but they find it hard to balance their work, family, and health. Many times, it doesn't seem like there's enough time in the day for exercise and fitness when all the stresses of life pile up. This is why 60% of people over 40 are overweight or obese. What can be done to combat this?Dr. Anthony Balduzzi created The Fit Father Project (www.fitfatherproject.com) to help dads and business owners just like you. Dr. Anthony's own father died when he was only 9 years-old, because his dad was stressed out from work and financial stress that caused a horrible cancer to take his life at the age of 42. Dr. Anthony set his mind on not letting that happen to him, and teaching other dads how they can live long and full lives with their families.The reality is, health and fitness is a bedrock for everything we do, including spiritual growth, creating great family memories, and performing well in our businesses. As we get older, we only face more health challenges. That's why if dads can combat them now in their 40s, it makes their 50s, 60s and later years so much better.Listen as Dr. Anthony Balduzzi shares with Brett tips and secrets on how to get healthy and stay healthy amidst the business and stresses of life.

Why do so many people in our culture today dread work? Many times we think of work as a burden we have to do but really don't want to. Which breeds depression, stress, anxiety and unfulfillment in our lives. This perception of work robs us of true meaning in life, and leaves us very little time to actually enjoy life.But is work really supposed to be a curse? David Bahnsen doesn't think so. David believes that work is actually a gift and a huge part of our meaning in life. David wrote the book "Full-Time Work And The Meaning Of Life." In this book, David discusses how work is actually meant to enrich our lives and he exposes lies we've believed in many areas where work is concerned. Including how valuable one job is viewed compared to another, and even how the church has wrongly viewed "ministry" work compared to "marketplace" work.David argues that work isn't supposed to be something dirty. But it's actually supposed to be one of the most important things in life that gives us the deepest purpose and meaning. And we don't have to wait until the last part of our lives to make an impact. Doing work well now, as Christians, can be one of the greatest ministries to the world in this day. Listen as Mike and David talk about Full-Time Work And The Meaning Of Life.David L.

It's the little things in life that many times mean the most. Bryan Driscoll @MotivatedLeads knows that better than anyone. In his troubled teenage years, Bryan drifted and became homeless. But one small act of kindness from a caring family set his life back on track in a positive trajectory.At the time, Bryan himself didn't realize how big of an impact this small act of kindness would have on his life. But years later, Bryan wanted to repay this family. After being unable to track them down, he decided to pay it forward. Bryan thought about "What does it mean to pay it forward?" He didn't have the means to do grand gestures, so he decided to model what the family did for him.Bryan shares stories of how his small acts of kindness made national news and helped people in need. And how his small acts of kindness moved those he helped to pay it forward as well. A movement began by small actions. This just goes to show that no act of kindness, no matter how small, is wasted.Listen to Bryan share stories and insight on how your simple acts can affect others, and how small acts can greatly change your personal life for the positive as well.

Learning how to raise children correctly can seem impossible sometimes. Many times parents tend to overcorrect from their parents' mistakes which just creates more mistakes. And the way systems are set up for our kids, it seems to make them remain kids longer, and they can't think for themselves or really take care of themselves.With the way kids come out of college, many parents wish they had never sent their kids to college. It leaves us stuck asking ourselves, "How do I raise kids I actually like?" It's important to understand that we're trying to raise kids to be adults, not kids to remain children. With that in mind, there are actually very effective and practical ways to raise up our children exactly the way we want them to turn out.You can actually easily shape your children to be more grateful, caring, self-reliant, emotionally intelligent, free thinking and financially literate. Scott Donnell helps teach thousands of parents how to not make parenting mistakes that will ruin a child's growth. @Scottdonnell Scott Donnell teaches parents how to prepare your children for the world. He helps show parents how their kids can thrive in everything they do as they grow. It all starts with learning the mindset of Value Creation.Scott wrote the book "Value Creation Kid: The Healthy Struggles Your Children Need to Succeed." Scott dives deep in tried and true methods of giving your children an incredible advantage for their life journeys. Scott helps teach a Home Economy System for families, so that kids become critical thinkers and entrepreneurial minded in everything they do. So they become goal oriented and results driven rather than wasting time and effort needlessly for failed paths. This is one way kids prosper when they understand what it means to create value first.This system helps parents much more easily teach their children about money, and how to make finances fun for kids. But money is only a tool, value creation is the key to finding financial success, as well as emotional and spiritual success.Scott teaches the 3 E's - Expectation, Expenses, Extra-Pay. When you do these three correctly, your kids won't ask you for money anymore. They'll learn budgeting, delayed gratification, value of goods, trade off of goods. They won't have an entitled attitude. They can prosper without having to complain about a silver spoon in their mouth. But they also won't have a poverty mindset that keeps them defeated. This strategy works much more effectively than old systems of allowance, busy chores, selfish thinking. This helps children understand their roles and responsibilities in their family, but it also gives them great ingenuity and motivation for how to understand and grow the life-giving natural gifts that they have.Watch as Brett gains a lot of wisdom dialoguing with Scott Donnell about how to truly prosper your kids and your whole family. This is very much a legacy building tool for future generations to prosper from as well.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬VALUE CREATION KIDFREE APP18 FAMILY LEGACY STRATEGIES▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬NEW IRON DEEP BOOK https://www.irondeep.com/the-secret-war-withinThis is a must-read for every highly successful entrepreneur.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe to Our Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@UCBPidx70rstadlrS2piMt5g ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://www.irondeep.com/▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Cultural Indoctrination can seem so strong when it comes to influencing our children. It's hard to be a father when you're running a business, and feel like you aren't doing a good job at home. It may feel like you're failing and useless. But that's not really true. Dads have so much influence. More than they realize when it comes to their family and especially their kids.No dad is perfect. But that's okay. Nick Adams knows that more than anyone. Nick had a disengaged alcoholic father who eventually tried to kill him and his mother. Nick had minimal contact with his dad, but he also had many scars. But even though Nick's father was far from perfect, there were still many good things that he imprinted on Nick's life. Dads influence their kids no matter what. For good or for bad, dads are influencing their children. It's not about doing everything right. It's about making little steps of progress along the way. Many times, it's the very small intentional steps that go far and deep into your child's life.Dads already have it hard enough. Even when we mess up, it's okay to ask for forgiveness from our kids. Even that is valuable in teaching them and connecting with them. Nick wrote the book "Being The Dad You Wish You Had." Nick doesn't want to remind dads of what they're doing wrong. Nick wrote this book to encourage dads and help them make simple and achievable steps to becoming the dads they want to be. This is a great book to help dads parent well and establish long-standing connected relationships with their children.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬NEW IRON DEEP BOOK https://www.irondeep.com/the-secret-war-withinThis is a must-read for every highly successful entrepreneur.

Rarely do men have the chance to be authentic, raw and vulnerable with other men. The lack of authentically being known leads to isolation, which in turn, leads to destruction.Mark Vesper & Steve Sargent of Foxhole Symphony are men equipping men who are seeking belonging, accountability and growth. They have encountered and experienced life changing relationships with other men who have committed to loving each other, continually showing up, trusting each other with personal issues & confidentiality, and walking through life's hardships and struggles together.

Nobody says, "I want to be a bad dad to my kids." Many men are great providers for their family. Many men protect their wives and children from danger. Lots of men do okay at various roles as a father. Yet many fathers fail to make the deep connections or lasting impacts with their children. Why is that?Disengaged fathers are the one common thread to almost all of societal problems, whether it be divorce, addictions, crime, poverty, teenage pregnancy, behavioral disorders, rape, suicide, etc. Over 80% of incarcerated people have a disengaged father. 80% of young adults abandon their faith when their father has not been their spiritual leader. 80% of young adults retain their faith when their father has been their spiritual leader. When a father follows Jesus, 93% of his family will follow. If only the mother, the percentage drops to under 20%. We can see the overwhelming importance of dads leading & modeling well for their families.DADCAMP is on a mission to build stronger fathers, which in turn builds stronger families. Jason Braun & Matt Crittendon talk with Brett about their organization, and how it helps teach and equip dads to be the men God intended them to be to lead their families well and leave lasting legacies. @DADCAMP_org

Many times in our businesses, we have systems that are too complex. We have employees that become disgruntled, unmotivated, or burnt out. We have leaders who are overpaid and who underperform. We're accomplishing many goals, but they aren't that fruitful because we're forgetting the few goals that we actually specialize and excel in.Lee Benson of @execute-to-win specializes in helping large and small companies fix all these problems and more. In Lee's book "Your Most Important Number" he talks about alignment decisions and accountability. As Lee tells Brett one of his main sayings is 'Execute To Win.' Which is one of Lee's organizations.In this discussion, Lee delves into the importance of alignment in organizations as well as accountability. What is your Most Important Number & What are your Drivers? What one number above all others 1) reflects the value of your organization and 2) drives behaviors of everyone in the organization? These are critical in understanding and creating the right business strategies for your company and executing effectively.If you get this right at the top, and communicate it clearly, this will trickle down to each team within the organization for them to create their own unique Most Important Number that will flow into the overarching most important goals. Not only does clarifying the strategy and plan help everyone understand what it is they need to accomplish, but it helps everyone in the business take more initiative and ownership and drives them to add more value to their position. It will help all team members deliver or over deliver toward the goals.Lee emphasizes that this can't be something that sounds good ideally, it must also be a believable and achievable strategy for proper execution to take place. If the path isn't believable with a proven track, then nobody will be motivated to execute.Lee overstates that if we can get everyone to understand the vision and empower the team members to truly create value, the planning and execution of goals becomes much more enjoyable. And even though there are struggles, the struggles end up being viewed as fun, because we know there are achievable goals we get to utilize real developed skills and creative cognition that energizes us as our team knows they absolutely were built to overcome each struggle they face.Apply these values in your home for your children.

When it comes to faith, we live in a time where terms like 'Deconstruction' 'Nones' 'Dones' 'Dechurched' and 'Used-To-Be Evangelicals' fill the conversation. Millions of “Gen-Zers” and Millennials have walked out of church and their faith. We are currently experiencing the largest and fastest religious shift in US history. So why are so many dechurching? And is there anything we can do about it?Entrepreneur & Former Fighter Pilot Dennis Allen dives deep into the topic of why Millennials are leaving the church. This topic is what Dennis likes to call “The Disciple Dilemma.” In fact, he wrote a book on it. Dennis answers many questions like 'why are young people leaving the church' and gets into topics like 'what is discipleship and why is it important?' Listen to Dennis and Brett talk about what the Bible says about discipleship and the cost of discipleship, and where the church went off-track.

Most people don't think they're greedy. People can usually recognize many of their other sins, but almost always, greed goes undetected. This hiddenness and subtlety is what makes greed so dangerous. What does it mean to be greedy? Part of the root of greed is selfishness. But selfishness is the root of most sin. There are ways to identify if we're a selfish person, which Brett and Mike discuss in this episode.But to dig deeper into understanding greed we must ask ourselves, "What does the Bible say about greed and selfishness?" When you look at greed in scripture, it is very closely linked to covetousness. So when we ask, "What does it mean to be greedy?" we should also ask, "What does it mean to not covet?"Coveting is a very serious sin. It's so serious, God lists it as one of the 10 commandments in Exodus. But when we think about bad sins like lying, or stealing, or murder, or idolatry, most people forget about coveting. But coveting is listed just as strongly and as evil as these other horrible sins. That's what makes this sin so dangerous. To be greedy or to covet is incredibly dangerous because it's so hard to see or detect in our own lives. But if it fills our heart, it will affect everything else in our lives and cause lots of damage. Greed is very much a most hidden sin that's so hard to notice. Brett and Mike talk about what greed and coveting are in this episode and ways to discover if it's operating in your life. They also discuss how to deal with coveting if you do find it filling your mind and heart.If you don't think greed or coveting is that bad, think about the meaning of the scripture verse, "You Shall Not Covet Your Neighbor's Wife." Let that sink in to understand the gravity of greed. While it's sinking in, go ahead and take a look at this episode.

Our Western systems have told us what to do to be successful, but more people are in greater debt and harder situations than ever before. What we're told to do to 'get ahead' is not true anymore. We've been lied to about money, debt, and jobs which is keeping us enslaved in a rat-race. Jeff Lerner learned how to escape the money-trap and the time stealers that are being pitched to us and our children as the American Dream. Going from a high-school drop-out musician to an incredibly successful entrepreneur and now founder of The Entre Institute, Jeff now helps teach and empower others to not get caught in the traps of a broken system, but rather, be freed to live their fullest lives by tapping into their fullest gifts and potentials.Jeff Lerner is the author of the WSJ Best-Seller "Unlock Your Potential: The Ultimate Guide for Creating Your Dream Life in the Modern World."

As business owners, we know that a team is only as good as its leader. This begs the question, "How do I improve my leadership skills?" Great leadership starts with self-leadership. Trent Booth of Veritas Leadership Group specializes in teaching leaders how to improve their self-leadership. In this conversation he discusses how leaders can grow by becoming more self-aware, self-reflecting & self -regulating. When leaders learn how to practice these, they can become more empathetic, more productive and create a better work culture. Better yet, leaders can be more at peace when they understand techniques that teach how to regularly and correctly identify and address their emotional state. Leaders can't control others, but leaders can influence others. We won't be able to influence anyone well if we can't even understand and control ourselves. Join Brett as he talks with Trent and learns more about practices like journaling and coaching to enhance your business and your lifestyle. IronDeep.com

SEX - Sex is a topic nobody wants to talk about, but everyone faces in one way or another. Sex can be a taboo topic, but sex is actually a great and beautiful thing when dealt with appropriately. Sex is designed by God to be a blessing, when done in the proper way. Sex is like a fire in a fireplace. When it's burning in the right parameters, it's wonderful. But when fire breaks out of a fireplace, it can burn the whole house down and everyone inside. That fire burning outside of the fireplace happens when sex comes under the control of Lust. Lust, is a twisted and never-ending appetite that never satisfies and leaves us trapped and desolate. Lust is deceptive, and tricks us into pursuing things in the wrong way. As we pursue the perverted paths of lust, we not only destroy ourselves, but our wives, our children, and really, our whole world can burn to the ground. INCLUDING OUR BUSINESSES. As men, many of us can be tempted by lust on a regular basis. So how do we deal with the attacks of lust and remain on a healthy path? That's what we'll dig into in this episode. Listen as Brett & Michael dissect and explore this topic of the traps of lust and the beautiful blessings of sex done the right way.

As successful business leaders, it can be easy to lose track of who we are. Sometimes it takes great hardship for us to learn that our ways don't really work, and we need to trust in God. Many Christian entrepreneurs understand this principle, but sometimes struggle to live this out well. Thankfully, ministries like The Lion Within help to simplify God's word and easily apply it to our lives in practical and fruitful ways. In this latest Iron Deep podcast, Brett talks with Chris Grainger, who, after a successful sales and engineering career, felt God calling him to men's ministry. As founder of The Lion Within Us, Chris is educating and preparing men to be Godly leaders.Of course, before leading others, we have to let God lead us. Chris explains the importance of not putting God in a box. Hard as it is, we have to give God complete control. That means renewing our minds every day, while being a steward of both our money and our time.Chris also points out that there are certain roles that we cannot outsource because doing so can leave us and our families vulnerable to influences we may not like.Chris notes that it's hard running a business, and putting in the time and effort it takes to do family and faith well. It's easy to take short-cuts. But as Chris also notes, we need to find The Lion Within us and rise to the challenge. We need to be Christ-Centered leaders and put the work in. We need to be bold to succeed in business, but we need to be even more bold and focused to succeed in our faith and family. If we, as men, don't fulfill our roles as fathers and husbands, the world will easily take our place.So check out the latest from Iron Deep, and understand what it means to be a Christ-Centered leader.

Despite all the changes and milestones that happen in our lives, what grounds these experiences are the unfailing and constant traditions and rites. However, it has been said that “there is a de-ritualization of Christian young men in our culture.” How do we overcome that? In this episode, we take on a spiritual lens to zone in on the importance of rites in a man's life. We sit down with Dr. Uriesou Brito, the Senior Pastor of Providence Church in Pensacola, Florida, to discuss how rites connect men to meaning and, especially as fathers, help guide our sons as they transition into the world of manhood.
