The 318 Brotherhood: Rebuilding Men, Restoring Families, Advancing God’s Kingdom

Episode 44 Why Men Walk Away from Church: The Disconnect Between Preaching and Living

Have you ever turned to your church for help, only to feel more isolated than before? You’re not alone. Men everywhere are walking away from churches that preach but don’t reach, leaving them unseen, unheard, and misunderstood. Traditional sermons and Bible studies often fail to address the real struggles men face—leaving them in a pit of pain, questioning where to turn next.
In this episode, we confront the uncomfortable truth about why so many faith communities fall short in supporting men in crisis. Why do churches fail to meet men at their lowest, and how can we build something better? We’ll explore the disconnect between what’s preached on Sunday and what’s lived out every day, unpack why men feel abandoned by their spiritual leaders, and discuss how to create a brotherhood that practices what it preaches.
This isn’t about walking away from faith—it’s about finding the kind of authentic connection, support, and transformation that churches were meant to offer but often don’t. Whether you’ve felt the sting of hollow Bible studies, the frustration of unhelpful advice, or the loneliness of unanswered prayers, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about a new way forward—a brotherhood that leads men out of isolation and into the light of true connection, accountability, and faith.
It’s time to stop spinning our wheels and start living out a faith that transforms. Are you ready? Let’s get to work.

Episode 43 Are You Dying Inside: How Men’s Hidden Pain Leads to a Slow Death

What happens when God calls you to confront your deepest pain to help others find their way out of their darkness? In this episode, I share a vulnerable truth: God often meets us in our lowest moments, not to leave us there, but to lead us to His light and purpose.
Following a profound coaching session, I realized that God is calling me to meet others where they are—right in the heart of their pain, just as He met me in mine. This isn’t an easy journey. It means revisiting my own pit, the darkest place where I almost lost everything, and using that experience to guide others toward the peak of their promised land.
For many men, this pain comes from the secret lies we carry—the ones we hide from the world but slowly destroy us from within. It’s a slow death, and I’ve seen its devastating effects on others. I’ve lived it. But God’s light is powerful, and He can bring redemption and healing to even the darkest corners of our lives.
In this episode, I speak directly to men who feel trapped in their pain and secrets. I share my story of transformation, the years it took me to cross that gap, and how God’s grace led me from the pit to the peak.
If you’ve ever felt like the darkness is too much to bear, know this: there is a way out. God’s light is waiting to shine through, and on the other side of your pain is the life you were meant to live.
Let’s journey together from the pit to the promised land.

Episode 42 How Do You Know You Are Being Promoted by God? God’s Path Doesn’t Make Sense: Trusting His Promptings

Have you ever felt God nudging you in a direction that didn’t make sense? In this episode, I share a personal story about being prompted by God to take an unexpected step—one that challenged my plans and logic but revealed His greater purpose.
Right before New Year’s, I received a message from a friend in the water safety community who had tragically lost his twin boys. It reminded me of my own experience of losing my daughter to drowning in 1993. Days later, I saw a post about his upcoming Twin Tots 5K Run and Vigil. Though I initially dismissed the idea of attending due to timing and expense, I felt an undeniable weight in my spirit that God wanted me there.
As I wrestled with the decision, God began connecting the dots, reminding me of my mission for this year: to run a 5K. Through conversations with my coach and reflection on past experiences—like giving away 25,000 crosses in obedience—I realized this call wasn’t about convenience or logic. It was about faith, trust, and walking in obedience, even when the path is unclear.
In this episode, we explore how to recognize God’s promptings and why stepping out in faith, even when it doesn’t make sense, can lead to unexpected blessings and alignment with His plan.
If you’ve ever struggled to trust God’s direction, this episode will encourage you to listen, obey, and trust His higher purpose.
Let’s take this journey together—because when God calls, it’s not about understanding the “why,” but about having the faith to move.
