Brotherhood Forged: More Than a Podcast, a Movement

---

I can't even begin to express how excited I am right now. Brotherhood Forged has moved from a vision to reality faster than I ever imagined and it feels incredible.

Paul Bengel and I aren't just good friends; we're partners in something we believe will profoundly impact men's lives. The podcast is thriving, we've ramped up to five episodes each week, sharing honest, real, faith-centered conversations designed to help men lead better, live intentionally, and walk with integrity.

But Brotherhood Forged is bigger than just the podcast. It's a growing community of men who refuse to settle for average. Our vision is ambitious yet simple: to become a one-stop resource that provides men with everything they need to grow as husbands, fathers, leaders, and followers of Jesus. We'll have weekly group coaching calls, accountability tools, daily challenges, suggested workouts, and even one-on-one coaching sessions available for those interested.

We're committed to building this community step-by-step without going into debt. Soon we'll be launching our community site, built entirely from our own resources, and hopefully with a little help from those who share our vision.

Speaking of help, Paul and I are deeply grateful for the five incredible men who showed up to our very first call. Your belief in us and this vision means more than we can ever express. You're the foundation of something truly special.

Jesus remains at the center of everything we do. Our goal isn't just growth, it's meaningful, authentic value for every single member. As we grow, we envision bringing in other servant-leaders who share our heart for serving and staying humble.

We’ve been asked if there’s a way to support us financially. While we aren't actively pushing for donations, we humbly acknowledge that some may feel called to support this mission. If that's you, please reach out to me personally at joey@brotherhoodforged.com. Anyone contributing at least $50 will be placed at the top of our list to receive exclusive swag when it's ready, our way of saying a sincere thank you.

This is just the beginning. Together, let's forge stronger identities, build intentional legacies, and serve one another with humility and strength.

Thank you for being on this journey with us. The best is yet to come.

Stay Forged,

Joey
