The Men of Iron Minute

The Path is the Way

⁣We have all heard the lie, “Men pave their own way… trailblaze… and no one is coming for you.” While a select group of men have drunk the intoxicating Kool-Aid of this foolishness, let’s talk about another path that leads to righteous living. Many men have been told that… They can do it – all – by – themselves.⁣ With this line of thinking, some guys have been fed the line that they will eventually “figure it out.” Untrue. This is a great way to live with tons of regret. Men need a path to follow. Without a path, a man must bounce from ditch to ditch (consequence to consequence). A path forms a layer of accountability. The journey of manhood is communal, not nomadic.

Let’s dissect the truth from the lies. Men need men to improve, and every man has been given agency to partner with God to make that happen. Hence, men need fathers, friends, brothers, and mentors who push us into the men we can be afraid of being. ⁣Lies can be intoxicating, and fear can be paralyzing. Thus, the hopelessness of men striving to build their masculine essence in a world bent on tearing it down has led many good men adrift.

Every man has more potential than he is aware. Until he meets a challenge head-on, he may never appreciate his potential. ⁣Here’s a dose of medicinal good news: the path for men has been beaten down by millions of men before you. The path has five fundamental growth areas: faith, fitness, family, finances, and friendships. ⁣

When you walk this path, you are never alone.

Be a mentor.

Find a mentor.

Be a better man.
