The Iron Creed and the 52-week plan
Iron Brotherhood walks a man through the Iron Creed: 28 short statements of what a Christian man stands on. Each week centers on one statement, and each day's Forge gives a short devotion, a prayer, an Iron Check, a verse to lock in, and one Iron Action. The year runs in four quarters, each ending with a challenge week. In the second half of the year the creed comes around again so the statements sink in. Every man starts at his own Week 1, Day 1, free, with no ads and no account.
