Welcome to Brotherhood Forged, a podcast built for men who refuse to stay stuck.   In Episode 83 (Part 1), Joey sits down with his longtime friend, brother in Christ, and pastor Lamar Ferrell for the opening segment of a deeply honest conversation centered around Lamar’s book, The Dirty BIG Secret.   📖 The Dirty BIG Secret is a raw, behind-the-scenes look at pain, calling, pressure, and faith when life gets brutally honest. In this episode, we do not give the book away, but we explore the journey, heartbreak, and hope that led Lamar to write it.   Pastor Lamar is: Lead Pastor and Church Planter of Berachah Church A longtime Police and Fire Chaplain Author of The Dirty BIG Secret   In this episode, we talk about: How a simple free lunch led Lamar into police chaplaincy His first death notification and how it shaped his faith and ministry The weight of grief, loss, and responsibility at a young age Losing a child and losing his father at 29 How faith holds when everything else falls apart   This is Part 1 of a longer conversation. Due to technical difficulties, the remaining segments will be re-recorded and released soon as Part 2 and possibly Part 3.   📖 Get the book, The Dirty BIG Secret, here: 👉 https://www.realcommunity4u.com/ 🔥 About Brotherhood Forged   Brotherhood Forged is a coaching-driven community for men who are ready to lead with strength, faith, and integrity in their homes, their bodies, their mindset, and their legacy.   Join the Brotherhood at brotherhoodforged.com   Questions or feedback?

What if the way we’ve done Christmas for years has actually pushed Jesus to the margins?   In Episode 82 of Brotherhood Forged, Joey, Paul, and Caleb talk honestly about how easy it is for men to get swept up in shopping, travel, kids’ schedules, and family drama—and completely miss the heart of Christmas: Jesus Himself.   They share real stories from their childhoods, current family traditions, and even a heated moment at a sandwich shop to unpack what it looks like to keep Christ at the center of Christmas… not just in theory, but in how we actually live, lead, and love. In this episode, we talk about: Growing up with Christmas gifts but very little Jesus—and what changes when Christ becomes the center. Why slowing down might be the most spiritual thing you do this Christmas. How to turn Christmas carols from “just songs” into worship with meaning. Practical, Christ-centered traditions for your family: Reading the Christmas story (Luke 2, Matthew 1–2) together.  Using a nativity set and “finding Jesus” before opening gifts. Teaching kids to give, not just receive (donating toys, adopting families, serving others). Inviting people who might be alone for the holidays into your home. How stories like A Christmas Carol and The Grinch actually reflect biblical themes of heart change, generosity, and joy.  Paul’s real-life story of being disrespected at a restaurant—and choosing a Christlike response instead of blowing up. The hard truth: your kids and your family learn more from how you respond under pressure than from any Christmas devotion you read. The big question: Do people get drawn closer to God because of the way you live this season… or pushed away because you say you’re a Christian but don’t act like it? Scripture & Resources Mentioned Luke 2:10–11 – “Good news of great joy” and the Savior born in the city of David.  The Christmas story in Luke 2 and Matthew 1–2.  “Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table” by Louie Giglio – recognizing whose voice you’re following in stressful moments.  Themes from A Christmas Carol (Charles Dickens) and The Grinch as pictures of transformation, generosity, and true Christmas joy.  Call to Action 💥   If this episode encouraged or challenged you, help us reach more men: 👍 Like this video 💬 Drop a comment: “Jesus at the center” if that’s your desire this Christmas 📲 Subscribe to the channel 🔁 Share this episode with another man who needs it ⭐ Leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts / Spotify ⬇️ Download the podcast on your favorite platform — it really helps the show grow   Got questions, topic ideas, or a story of how you’re keeping Christ at the center of Christmas? 👉 Email us at: info@brotherhoodforged.com  Or drop it in the comments — we’d love to hear from you.

In this episode, the guys dive deep into a theme every husband and father needs to master: Grace Over Grit in Marriage Rooted in 1 Peter 3:7, this conversation unpacks how men often rely on grit—fixing, pushing, forcing solutions—when what their marriages actually need is grace, compassion, understanding, and Christlike leadership.00:00 Introduction and Episode Kickoff 00:20 Welcoming Caleb as a Co-Host 00:41 Community and Podcast Reflections 03:49 Improving Communication Skills 07:04 Grace vs. Grit in Relationships 15:50 Grace in Marriage 20:54 The Importance of Communication in Relationships 21:35 Understanding and Responding with Grace 22:37 Knowing Your Audience: The Key to Connection 23:51 Grit vs. Grace: An Analogy 24:33 Biblical Insights on Marriage 25:30 The Role of Grace in Relationships 30:46 Honoring Your Wife: A Deeper Dive into Scripture 38:59 Concluding Thoughts and Reflections 39:58 Closing Prayer and Final Remarks The guys explore: What “grit” looks like when it becomes harshness, impatience, or emotional withdrawal Why many husbands default to fixing instead of listening How grace restores connection and softens the heart The “Roots and the Rain” analogy and how it applies to marital strength How 1 Peter 3:7 calls men to honor, protect, and study their wives Why your relationship with your wife affects your relationship with God Practical tools to break out of scorekeeping, resentment, and burnout What it means to become a man led by the Spirit, not ego This episode is honest, challenging, and packed with practical wisdom for husbands who want to lead their homes with integrity, tenderness, and strength.

What if the distance in your marriage isn’t coming from big blowups… but from the little things that stopped being seen?   In this episode of the Brotherhood Forged Podcast, Paul, Joey, and Caleb unpack how unnoticed daily acts and a lack of expressed gratitude slowly create emotional drift, resentment, and isolation in marriage and family.   We walk through a powerful gratitude thought experiment:   If tomorrow you only had what you thanked God for today… what would still be in your life?   From there, we dive into: How unspoken appreciation quietly erodes closeness in marriage Why familiarity and busyness condition us to overlook what our wives and families do every day The danger of scorekeeping (“I do more than they do”) and how it poisons connection How a growing relationship with Christ reshapes our wants from “me-focused” to “others-focused” The power of recognizing your spouse’s bids for connection and responding instead of withdrawing Practical ways to make gratitude a daily rhythm instead of a rare reaction   We also share: A gratitude journal challenge you can do for your wife (inspired by The Compound Effect) Simple daily and weekly habits to change the atmosphere of your home through thanksgiving Why 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (“give thanks in all circumstances”) is not just a nice verse—but God’s will for your life   Whether you feel distant in your marriage, stuck in isolation, or just sensing that you’ve stopped noticing the small things, this episode will challenge you to let gratitude kill the distance and rebuild connection one “thank you” at a time. Scripture Mentioned 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV) – “Give thanks in all circumstances…” The life of Job as a picture of gratitude and faith in suffering Join the Brotherhood Forged Community   🔥 Brotherhood Forged: Built for Men Who Refuse to Stay Stuck   This isn’t just another group chat or motivational feed.   Brotherhood Forged is a coaching-driven community for men who are ready to lead with strength, faith, and integrity in their homes, bodies, mindset, and legacy.   Inside the community you’ll get: Weekly group coaching calls rooted in faith and personal growth Daily challenges to sharpen discipline and identity A brotherhood of men who actually show up for each other Workouts, accountability tools, and tactical content you can put into action A system to build the 2.0 version of you — with no fluff and no excuses   You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Isolation hits hard this time of year. The holidays bring joy for some, but for many men, it triggers loneliness, disconnection, stress, and the silent battle of keeping everything bottled up.   In Episode 77, Joey, Paul, and Caleb break down why isolation is so common among men, especially during the holiday season, and what it actually takes to break free from it. This is a real, raw, faith centered conversation on courage, identity, and brotherhood.   In this episode we talk about: • Why men isolate even when surrounded by people • The difference between physical, emotional, and spiritual isolation • The fear of being judged and the pressure to “have it all together” • How authenticity frees us from shame • Why so many men retreat instead of reaching out • How isolation slowly damages marriages, kids, friendships, and faith • The enemy’s role in keeping men silent and alone • How identity in Christ restores courage and confidence • Why community, accountability, and brotherhood matter more than ever   We also share practical ways to step out of the shadows, reconnect with others, and let God use community to bring healing. Caleb closes with a prayer for anyone who feels alone, reminding us that God did not design us to walk through life by ourselves.   Scripture Highlight: Ecclesiastes 4:9 to 10 “Two are better than one… woe to the one who falls and has no one to lift him up.”   If this episode encourages you, share it with another man who needs to hear that he’s not fighting alone.

In this week’s episode of the Brotherhood Forged Podcast, Joey, Paul, and new co-host Caleb Clapp dive deep into a question every man wrestles with — “Where does my worth really come from?”   From cultural expectations and career pressure to faith, family, and identity, this unscripted conversation gets real about how men define value in today’s world.

Most men don’t fail because they lack ability. They fail because they stop believing results will come.

Motivation fades. Commitment endures. ⚔️   In this Daily Forged episode, Paul and Joey tackle one of the biggest traps men fall into: waiting until we “feel like it.” The truth? Feelings are fickle. If you wait on motivation, you’ll stall out.
