The 318 Brotherhood: Rebuilding Men, Restoring Families, Advancing God’s Kingdom
🎙️ When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called forth 318 trained men—born in his own house—and led them into battle (Genesis 14:14). That moment wasn’t just about warfare. It was about leadership, legacy, and a man’s response to the call of God. The 318 Brotherhood Podcast is a call to modern-day warriors—men who are ready to rise from the pit, lead their families with purpose, and build lives aligned with the King’s design.

So many men over 50 face a silent battle, a weight that hits hardest in the quiet moments. For years, I let my struggle with ED define me—stealing my confidence, creating distance in my marriage, and burying me in shame. But today, I’m here to tell you: that this struggle is not your end. It’s your opportunity. It’s not about fixing what’s broken but redefining what intimacy, connection, and manhood truly mean. If you’re ready to stop suffering in silence and start turning your struggle into strength, this episode is for you."
In this episode, we’re going deep into a topic that most men avoid but desperately need to confront. ED isn’t just about the physical—it’s about the mental, emotional, and spiritual battle that comes with it. Drawing from Luke 9:23-27, I’ll share how carrying this cross has transformed my understanding of intimacy, connection, and purpose. This isn’t just about reclaiming your confidence in the bedroom; it’s about rediscovering who you are as a man and redefining love, intimacy, and connection in a way that lasts.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re no longer the man you used to be, this episode will challenge you to see your struggle not as a weakness but as a calling. Together, we’ll uncover how to rebuild intimacy that has your wife begging for more—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. It’s time to step into the man God designed you to be.

When life hurts, when your body is heavy, and all you want to do is give up, what do you do? For years, I focused on myself—on the pain, the exhaustion, and the excuses. But today, Jesus got in my face during my morning meditation with one simple truth: Focus on Me. This is the wake-up call I needed, and it might be the one you need too.
Today’s episode is a raw and real conversation about what happens when life feels like too much—when your body hurts, your mind is weighed down, and all you want to do is throw in the towel. This morning, I overslept, felt like crap, and just wanted to sit and take it easy. But during my meditation, Jesus interrupted that story. He showed me that focusing on myself, my pain, and my excuses isn’t worshiping Him—it’s giving up on the love He’s constantly pouring out.
This episode dives into Jeremiah 29:10-14 and the powerful truth that even in the hardest moments, God’s love calls us to shift our focus. Worship isn’t about convenience—it’s about stepping into His love, especially when it’s hardest. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the pit of your pain or paralyzed by your problems, this is your message to rise up and focus on Him.

In this episode, we confront love’s incredible power to build or to break. For 28 years, I carried a wound that started the night before my daughter, Kelsey, passed away—a wound rooted in guilt, regret, and the unfinished goodbye I never got to give her. That single moment became a pit that consumed my life, driving me deeper into self-blame and darkness. I felt unworthy of love, letting it sabotage every relationship, every chance at happiness.
But a simple question from someone who cared stopped me in my tracks: What is God saying to you? That question became the turning point. For the first time, I allowed myself to listen, and I heard God’s voice leading me out of the shadows. I learned that His love was greater than my guilt, deeper than my shame, and strong enough to pull me back to life. In this episode, I share my journey from pain to freedom and the love that finally set me free.

Love can lift you to the heights of life, or it can bury you in the deepest pit. For 28 years, I was trapped in the darkness of a wound disguised as love—a wound I hid, a wound I lied about, a wound I believed defined me. Until one question changed everything. Here’s my journey from guilt and self-blame to the freedom of a love that truly heals.

In this episode, we confront the hard truth of ownership versus stewardship. The rich man in Mark 10 followed every rule, but when Jesus asked him to release his grip on possessions, he couldn’t let go. This isn’t just about wealth; it’s about the illusion of control we cling to. God’s Kingdom demands radical ownership—a surrender of everything we think we own. The path to true power, security, and freedom lies in releasing control, letting go of the false security we grip so tightly, and trusting in the limitless provision of God. Are you ready to open your hands and let God lead?

In this episode, we’re diving into what it truly means to do work that’s worthy of the Lord. Colossians 1:1-12 isn’t just a gentle encouragement; it’s a direct call to action for every man who claims to walk in truth. This is about aligning every choice, every outcome, with the highest standard—no excuses, no shortcuts. Paul lays out the foundation for a life of discipline, integrity, and relentless purpose, and this is where The Code meets the Word. It’s time to measure our work against the only standard that matters. Are you producing results that reflect your faith? Listen in and find out.

In this episode, we go deep into the warrior's path out of the pit—out of seasons that break you, strip you down, and make you question everything. Just as Isaiah 61 declares, God has marked this as the 'Year of the Lord’s Favor,' He’s calling His warriors to rise, rebuild, and restore. This isn’t about waiting around; it’s about claiming God's purpose before you, walking with intention, and turning past struggles into fuel. We’re not victims of our past or circumstances but vessels for God's relentless transformation, prepared to step boldly into this new season with purpose and power.
