Garret’s Men of Iron Highlights | EP. 155

 

“Great mentors go to bat for their proteges. Bryan took a chance on me to lead Men of Iron. Who do I need to go to bat for? ” // Garret Barbush

Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us of the many seasons of life and work. It is with honor, excitement and, of course, a bit of sadness, that we share Garret’s season with Men of Iron will close at the end of January. You can read more about it here. Our mission at Men of Iron is to change a culture one man at a time. For the past eleven years, Garret Barbush has worked alongside our tremendous team to accomplish just that. We’ve seen thousands of men impacted, and their testimonies speak of lives changed for eternity. On the next several episodes, Garret is going to share about his journey with Men of Iron over the last 11 years and some of the highlights along the way.

 


Regardless of where you are in your journey, we have the tools and experiences for you. We provide one-to-one mentorship, small group, and retreat curriculum. Biblical masculinity is an adventure, and we are calling all men to conquer the mountain ahead of us. Men, it’s time to climb! >>> MENOFIRON.ORG/THECLIMB
