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

Have you ever wondered why certain people show up in your life—sometimes for just a moment, sometimes for a lifetime? What if their presence was part of God’s plan to shape your journey?
In this episode, we dive into the concept of “Devin Encounters” from The Master Craftsman’s Design. These are the people God places in our path—whether for a day or a season—and the profound impact they have on our lives.
We’ll reflect on the significance of these encounters, how they align with God’s purpose, and what they reveal about His plan for us. Could you crossing paths with this podcast be one of those encounters?
Join me as we uncover the importance of recognizing and valuing the people God brings into our lives. Whether they challenge, inspire, or guide us, these moments are rarely accidental.

What if the moments that feel like distractions from God’s plan are actually the foundation He’s helping you build? Here’s what I learned about faith and purpose while life threw me a curveball.
Life has a way of throwing interruptions at us—unexpected trips, side hustles, or events that seem to pull us away from God’s plan. But what if these moments aren’t distractions at all? What if they’re part of His purpose?
In this episode, I reflect on my recent trip driving the Amish and what God revealed to me through the journey. Inspired by my Bible stack in Matthew 7:24-29, we’ll explore what it means to build a foundation on Christ, even when life feels chaotic or off track.
Join me as I share how God’s voice came through during what seemed like a detour, and how these “interruptions” might actually be tools He’s using to shape your calling. This episode will challenge you to see God’s hand in the moments you least expect and remind you that every step—planned or unplanned—has a purpose in His design.

Are you hearing God’s voice in your quiet time but unsure how to respond? What if the key to understanding your calling was hidden in your past, waiting for you to reflect and act on it? Here’s how journaling and meditating on God’s guidance can reveal your next steps.
In this episode, we take the next step in discovering and aligning with God’s calling: journaling your conversations with Him. This isn’t just about writing—it’s about listening, reflecting, and acting.
We’ll explore how journaling can help you capture God’s guidance, identify the actions He’s prompting you to take, and revisit your past through meditation to see how His hand was there all along. What lessons is He teaching you now? How does this shape what you’ll do differently moving forward?
Using questions from Chapter 1 of The Master Craftsman’s Design, we’ll dive into practical steps for hearing God’s voice and letting His direction shape your purpose. This is your opportunity to start writing the blueprint God is revealing for your life.
