The Shift: From Career Identity to Christ Identity - Chip Dunn (The Brotherhood Group Member)

On paper, Chip looked successful.

Hard worker.Leader.Driven.

But behind the scenes…Stress was building.Faith was drifting.Identity was wrapped up in career.

In this episode of Brotherhood Rising, Chip opens up about the season that changed everything — the loss, the pressure, the wake-up moment with God, and the decision to stop coasting and start leading.

Because transformation doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens when a man decides to surrender.

We talk about:

➤ The danger of tying your worth to your job➤ Why men suppress instead of process➤ The power of getting around other serious, godly men➤ What actually changes when Christ becomes your identity➤ And why brotherhood accelerates growth

If you’re doing “fine”… but you know you’re capable of more — this conversation will challenge you.

It’s time to stop drifting.

It’s time to rise.

Let’s go!

Episode Title: The 5 Pillars of a Successful Christian Man

A lot of men look successful on paper.

Strong career.Steady income.Providing for their family.

But behind the scenes…Their marriage is drifting.Their kids feel distant.Their health is declining.Their walk with God is shallow.

In this episode of Brotherhood Rising, I break down what I believe is the new standard for Christian men ...the five pillars that define true success in the right order.

Because success isn’t just about money. It’s about alignment.

We talk about:

➤ Why your relationship with God must be your foundation➤ How to build a strong marriage instead of just surviving one➤ What it means to be a present and engaged father➤ Why your health is a leadership issue➤ And how to pursue career success without making it your identity

If you’re leading at work but feel the gaps at home… this conversation will challenge you.

It’s time to raise the standard.

Not just good.
Great.

Let’s rise. Together.

Let’s be real...comfort is killing us.

Not just physically but spiritually, mentally, and as leaders.

In this episode, I’m calling out the “coasting” mindset that’s quietly making men passive, distracted, and vulnerable and why that’s exactly where the enemy wants you. Because when you’re comfortable, you’re weak… you’re unaware… and you’re wide open to getting taken out.

We talk about:
➤ Why comfort leads to passivity, laziness, and excuses➤ The danger of blaming instead of taking responsibility➤ How “I’ll start Monday” keeps men stuck year after year➤ Practical steps you can take TODAY in your faith, health, and leadership➤ Why accountability and brotherhood are the fastest path to real change

If you’re a husband, a father, a leader or you know you’re called to be more… this is your wake-up call.

Because God can’t use a man who’s coasting.

Episode 20: Your Obedience Changes Your Family Tree

This episode is a gratitude-filled, Spirit-led recap from a full weekend:
⭐️ We found out we’re having a baby girl (God is good).
⭐️ The Lord pressed 2 Corinthians 12 on my heart and reframed how I see my “thorn” and dependence.
⭐️ In-person community (Omen Athletics) reminded me why challenge and brotherhood matter.
⭐️ A front-row message (literally) from Pastor Joby Martin on Mark 2... friends carrying a brother to Jesus, drove home the power of BROTHERHOOD.
⭐️ And Pastor Joby spoke a word I won’t forget: “Your grandkids are never going to experience what you experienced.”

We talk about:➤ Why obedience today alters your family line tomorrow➤ The “thorn” God might be using to keep you close and humble➤ The kind of brothers you need around you (and why it changes everything)➤ Practical questions to audit your legacy: Are you living in a way your kids’ kids will thank you for?

Episode 19: The 3 Most Dangerous Words a Man Can Say: I Got This “I got this.”
I was inspired my Pastor Joby Martin when I heard him talk about this during a recent sermon!

Three words every man has said and three words that can destroy him if he’s not careful.

In this episode, I get real about the danger of isolation and pride and how the enemy uses both to take men out. I share personal stories from my own life, the mistakes I made when I thought I could do it all on my own, and how everything changed when I finally said, “I don’t got this, I need You, Jesus.”

We talk about:➤ Why isolation is the enemy’s favorite strategy➤ The difference between self-reliance and surrender➤ How accountability and community can keep you from falling➤ Why you can’t lead well if you’re fighting alone

Episode 18: From Rock Bottom to Redemption — w/ Mikey Brown

Authentic manhood isn’t about perfection it’s about purpose.

In this episode of Brotherhood Rising, I sit down with my brother Mikey Brown, whose story of transformation will light a fire in every man listening.

From long nights in the culinary world and battling health challenges, to discovering faith and becoming a leader in his family, Mikey’s journey is a powerful reminder of what happens when a man surrenders his life to God and takes ownership of his calling.

We talk about:➤ The dark side of the restaurant industry and the lessons that came from it➤ How faith and fitness worked hand in hand to rebuild his life➤ Why baptism became a turning point and symbol of new beginnings➤ What authentic manhood looks like in a world full of distractions➤ How community, obedience, and brotherhood changed everything

You can’t grow in comfort.
And you can’t lead if you’re not willing to face resistance.

In this episode, I talk about the power of doing hard things ...not for the sake of struggle, but for the sake of becoming who God called you to be.

We all have massive potential inside of us.
But most men never tap into it because they quit when things get uncomfortable.

In this episode, I share:➤ Why growth only happens outside your comfort zone➤ How resistance reveals your potential➤ The real reason comfort kills leadership➤ Why the Trailblazer Challenge exists inside The Brotherhood Group➤ Practical steps to start challenging yourself daily

If you’ve been feeling stuck, lazy, or unmotivated, this one’s your wake-up call.

Because the truth is simple:If you do what’s easy, your life will be hard. If you do what’s hard, your life will be blessed!

Episode 16: Faith and Vulnerability – A Conversation with Westley Baer

This episode is real, raw, and powerful.

I sit down with my brother, Westley Baer, to talk about faith, personal growth, and the challenges every man faces in his spiritual journey. Westley opens up about trauma, family dynamics, and the role faith has played in reshaping his life — while also sharing why he believes singleness can be a gift and a season of growth.

We talk about:
➤ How vulnerability opens the door to healing➤ Why singleness is an opportunity to grow closer to God➤ Navigating family struggles and finding identity in Christ➤ The power of community and accountability in a man’s journey➤ Using social media as a ministry to point people back to Jesus

Episode 15: This Verse Changed My Life (Colossians 3:23)

For a long time, I worked hard for me...for my pride, my success, and how I looked on the outside. But no matter how much I achieved, something was still missing.

Then I came across Colossians 3:23:
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”

That verse changed everything.

In this episode, I share how surrendering my life to God flipped my perspective on work, relationships, fitness, and leadership. Life is no longer about me, it’s about serving Him, serving my family, and serving others.

We talk about:➤ Why living for yourself always leads to emptiness➤ What it really means to live for God’s glory➤ How community fuels your growth and accountability➤ Why freedom and purpose are found in surrender➤ The example of Jesus — who came to serve, not to be served

If you’ve been chasing success and still feel unfulfilled, this episode is for you.

And remember... true fulfillment comes when you stop living for yourself and start living for Him.

Episode 14: Leadership Starts at Home

Every man wants to lead…
But too many overlook the very first place they’re called to lead: their home.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to lead your wife, your kids, and your family with intentionality. Not just by providing, but by being present. Not just with words, but by example.

I share some personal updates from my own life and the lessons I’ve learned about showing up consistently as a husband and father. Because the truth is, your family isn’t listening to what you say nearly as much as they’re watching how you live.

We talk about:➤ Why leadership in the home is the foundation for everything else➤ How kids learn by watching you — not just hearing you➤ The excuses men use to avoid leading in faith and family➤ Practical steps to pray, communicate, and show up daily➤ Why fitness and health are part of leading by example

If you’ve been leading everywhere else but neglecting your first calling at home, this episode is for you.
