Sharpening each others’ iron Both male-only gyms take inspiration from Proverbs 27:17, which says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Rather than having a gym where “nakedness” supposedly gets “shoved in his face,” Parsons dreams of “a place where Christian men gather, sharpen each other, and are formed under the fear of the Lord.” His vision is for men to “sharpen each other in brotherhood” and suggests, “Real sharpening requires daily proximity to other faithful men who refuse to let you drift.” “Real sharpening requires daily proximity to other faithful men who refuse to let you drift.” Similarly, Hambrecht’s Proverbs 27:17 Fitness is a gym “where men step back into brotherhood — where friction is welcomed, accountability is normal and growth is expected.” Hambrecht sees himself as helping men grow hard as iron by creating friction. “Men are not being led out there,” he says. “God’s called me to be a leader. I’m gonna lead some men to God.”

Don’t worry, though. All it’s going to take to save things is concerted action from the Democrats in Congress that, ideally, is moving and convincing enough that enough Republicans remember that they serve the people and this country not Donald Trump and themselves.
