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?
