Episode 73 - Where the Community Is Going: Authentic Over Polished, Faith First, Iron Sharpening Iron
In this unscripted conversation, Joey and Paul share where the Brotherhood Forged community is headed and why they’ve chosen authenticity over polish. They unpack the weekly call structure, discipleship focus, book track, daily challenges, transparent pricing with no upsells, and a future 10% give-back vision. If you’re a man ready for real growth in faith, leadership, and accountability—this one’s for you.
Show Notes
What we cover:
Why we ditched scripted episodes for real talk and connection
How early members reminded us: we’re here for you—not perfect production
The 3-call weekly rhythm (Mon/Fri check-ins, Wed discipleship) and how lean-ins work
Who’s in the room: men from many backgrounds and ages, all serious about growth
Transparent pricing: $49/mo (first 25) then $69/mo, no hidden tiers, no upsells
Book track: Disciplines of a Godly Man (R. Kent Hughes) + rotating books & monthly themes
Daily challenges to anchor identity and build discipline (Hebrews 6:19)
Why small and deep beats big and shallow—and how we’ll grow only when it’s right
Vision to give back 10% to member-nominated needs/ministries
Shoutouts to new brother David and dream guests we’d love to host
Scripture referenced:
Hebrews 6:19 — Our hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure
Proverbs 27:17 — Iron sharpens iron
