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. Hosted by Richard Kauffman, author of Ascension of the Warrior: The Master Craftsman’s Design, this podcast blends Biblical truth, raw life experience, and real transformation through a proven 8-step framework. Each episode is built for men who are tired of living numb, playing small, or pretending they’re okay. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a child, rebuilding your marriage, reclaiming your faith, or starting over in business—this brotherhood is for you. Join us each week as we rebuild men, restore families, and advance God’s Kingdom—one warrior at a time. Join the Brotherhood https://www.318men.com/318-brotherhood
