Men of Iron Podcast
A Time To Be Unreasonable| EP. 112
On EP. 112 Chad is on the pod as he talks about what it means to be an unreasonable man. Men, these are the times to step up and do the things that God wants us to do. Because we often overcommit in other areas, we do not have the freedom to be men that are engaging with the issues of the day. If you are a Christian man, you are called to be a righteous man. We need to become unreasonable about the things that matter.
You are invited to celebrate God’s transforming work across 15 years of impact in the lives of men pursuing Him and their purpose. Join us on April 19, 2022 for the Iron Sharpens Iron Dinner in Lancaster, Pennsylvania featuring keynote speaker Tony Dungy! Go to menofiron.org/dungy to get your tickets today!

- The French word “amateur” is someone who loves what they do.
- An amateur can have a love for grilling, playing basketball, writing, learning, training, etc.
- How does this translate to manhood?
- Take the posture of an amateur – “I am not going to rest on what I’ve done, I’m not going to rest on my achievements. I want to embrace what I am doing as a man. I want to love what I’m doing that’s helping me to become a better man.”
- We are all prone to be hypocritical and compare ourselves to other men
- These comparisons keep us from reaching our full potential
- “Aim for purpose not success.” // Chad Zeuck
- Be an amateur at heart and mind and love what you do as a man. Don’t rest on past accomplishments.
- “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” // Philippians 2:3-4
- Strive for excellence, not perfection
- “I want to earn the title of ‘Good Man’ every day.” // Chad Zeuck
- You need both conviction and courage to grow into being a good man
- If you want to be a good man, there is always growth required
