Men of Iron Podcast

 Knock Off the Rust | EP. 96

“Grace is the reminder that we are not as we should be, and grace gives the call to change. At just the right time, grace provides us with the power to do it.” // Chad Zueck

On EP. 96 of the Men of Iron Podcast we are talking about missing the mark. The flesh and Spirit are at war for our hope, peace, and future. From soul to soil, we have all been tainted by sin. The forces of sin’s nature frustratingly render our self-willed attempts at freedom beaten and still “missing the mark”. Alas, there is grace for those struggling with sin’s grip and the fleshly struggle. This episode will help you gain your bearings and knock off the rust!
