Brett's realization of living without intentionality and alignment with his Christian values prompted a transformative journey, leading to the inception of Iron Deep. In a candid conversation with Brett Snodgrass, the founder of Iron Deep Ministry, his journey from a conventional entrepreneur to a purpose-driven leader unfolds. Discovery of Purpose Brett's entrepreneurial journey began with a profound realization – he was living a life devoid of intentionality and purpose. Despite his success in business, he felt a misalignment with his core values as a Christian husband and father. This discord propelled him on a quest to rediscover his purpose and align his life with his beliefs. Impact through Business Brett challenges the notion that impactful ministry is exclusive to clergy or non-profit endeavors. Instead, he advocates for leveraging one's profession as a platform for positive influence. As a businessman, Brett recognizes the potential for godly impact through everyday interactions in the corporate realm. Empowering Christian Entrepreneurs Iron Deep Ministry serves as a beacon of inspiration for Christian entrepreneurs seeking to integrate faith and business. Brett's vision extends beyond personal transformation; he aspires to empower fellow entrepreneurs to lead purpose-driven lives, catalyzing a ripple effect of positive change in their spheres of influence. Brett Snodgrass In 2021, Brett founded Iron Deep, a unique community for men who seek to merge their Christian faith with their entrepreneurial spirit. Composed of risk-taking, mission-minded male business leaders, Iron Deep encourages its members to prioritize significant purpose in Christ over simple business success. This community of imperfect, broken, and raw men fosters a strong desire for mutual encouragement and support. They root their identities in the "Father'sBusiness," allowing everything else to flow through that filter.
