Brotherhood Forged: A Christian Men’s Podcast on Faith, Fatherhood & Leadership

Episode 28 – One Brick at a Time: Don’t Just Dream, Design

🔥 Welcome to Foundations | Episode 28 – “One Brick at a Time: Don’t Just Dream, Design” 🔥
 
Today’s brick is vision into practice. Dreams are powerful—but if they’re not backed by design, they fade. In this short Thursday drop, Paul and Joey remind us that identity isn’t built in a single moment—it’s laid, one brick at a time, through intentional, daily decisions.
 
We explore the real difference between dreaming and doing—and how to move forward with purpose by embracing rhythm, structure, and faithfulness in the small things.
 
📖 Foundation Verse:
“Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.” — Proverbs 4:26
 
🧱 Brick of the Week:
Pick one non-negotiable habit that proves your identity. Name it. Write it down. Live it.
 
💥 Foundational Reminder:
The man you’re becoming isn’t built in theory—he’s built in practice.

What brick did I lay today that aligns with who I say I’m becoming?

Episode. 23 — Labels, Lies & Legacy: Rewriting Your Identity

In this heart-filled episode, Paul, Amber, and Joey open a letter to their children—and to anyone carrying false labels or wounds from their past. Through stories, scripture, and soul-deep reflections, they walk through how identity is not something you perform for… it’s something you receive from Christ.
 
🔑 Key Verse: Galatians 2:20
“My old self has been crucified with Christ… now Christ lives in me.”
 
✨ Highlights:
Why labels from your past don’t get the final word
How to break agreements with lies you believed
Writing a new mission for your life
What it means to reflect Christ—not perform for others
A family’s legacy of identity and truth
 
📌 Reflection Prompt:
Which part of Galatians 2:20 speaks to you most today?

Episode 22 – The New You + Max Effort Mindset

Are you still listening to the old voices of shame, fear, and comparison? Or are you stepping into the new identity Christ has given you?
In this episode, Paul and Joey open up about their personal journeys from old labels to God-given purpose. Inspired by 2 Corinthians 5:17, they challenge listeners to stop digging up what God already buried—and start leading from the truth of who He says they are.
They also introduce the "Max Effort Mindset," a call to action for men ready to stop coasting and start committing in key areas like faith, family, fitness, and work.
Take the Weekly Dare: Pick one area of life and commit to full-out effort—especially when it's hard.
Your past doesn’t define you. Your identity in Christ does.
