About Iron Crusaders

Iron Crusaders is a faith-driven Feats of Strength Ministry led by Matthew Stout and based out of St. Louis, Missouri. As a non-profit team, we travel the globe with one mission — to lift up the name of Jesus Christ through powerful demonstrations of strength and even more powerful messages of hope.

For nearly five decades, Iron Crusaders has combined anti-bullying, anti-drug, and anti-alcohol school assemblies with jaw-dropping feats of strength that capture attention and open hearts to the Gospel. From bending steel to breaking chains, every act points to the truth that real power comes only from Christ.

We believe that while the world changes, the message doesn’t have to. The same approach that’s impacted generations of students and families still works today — because JESUS is the healer
