Iron Sharpens Iron is a Conference Network made up of individual ministries that are working interdependently to most effectively offer local church resources for men. We are doing this by mobilizing ministries to resource local churches with a first class one-day equipping conference that is designed for men (age 13 and older).

The study launched with the movie itself and continued using material from Provident films and Lifeway (available from a local Christian bookstore). The study concluded with a “Resolution Ceremony.”
