Hey listeners, exciting changes are happening! 🎉 We're rebranding to make your experience even better. From today, the Forge Podcast will now be called the Restorative Man Podcast by Restoration Project. But don’t worry—same great content, just a fresh new name!

Oh, and if you're part of our online community, we’ve got updates there too. The Forge Collective is becoming the Grove Collective—a nationwide community of men pursuing restorative manhood. If you haven't checked it out lately, now’s the perfect time!

In the inaugural episode of ''The Forge Podcast,'' co-founders Chris Bruno and Jesse French introduce their innovative project, Restoration Project. They highlight their mission to create meaningful conversations for and with men on their life journeys. Distinguishing between a ''crucible'' and a ''forge,'' they discuss the idea of continual development in their metaphor of manhood as a forge. This involves being heated, shaped, and molded but not melted, asserting that God places everything needed to be a man inside the boy at creation, which continues to form throughout life. The deepened understanding of a man's life journey aims to provide hope for listeners, focusing less on self-improvement tactics and more on participation in God's work. The key steps towards becoming a ''restorative man'' are also discussed, which involves healing, knowing God, and restoring the world around them.
