Why do we keep doing the things we know we shouldn’t do, even when we genuinely want to do what’s right?

In this episode of The Forged, we dive into Romans 7:15–25 and talk about the battle Paul describes between wanting to follow God and still struggling with sin. We also look at the hope found in Romans 8 and why the answer isn’t simply trying harder—it’s Jesus.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I keep doing this?” this episode is for you.

🎙️ The Forged — Episode 7: The Battle Within

In Matthew 14, Peter does something nobody else in the boat was willing to do—he stepped out when Jesus said, “Come.”

This week we talk about the storm, Peter’s faith and fear, and the question we all have to answer: What’s your boat? What’s keeping you comfortable when Jesus is calling you to trust Him and step out?

Matthew 14:22–33

In Episode 5 of The Forged Podcast, we're excited to welcome our first-ever guest to the podcast as we dive into Daniel 3 and the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

They were given a choice: bow down or face the fire. Their response is one of the strongest statements of faith in Scripture:

God is able to deliver us. But even if He doesn't, we still won't bow.

What does that kind of faith look like in our lives today? It's easy to trust God when things are going the way we want. But what about when they don't? What about when following God costs us something?

Join us for a great conversation about standing firm, trusting God in the fire, and having an "even if" kind of faith.

In Episode 4 of The Forged, we start walking through the book of James with James 1:1–18. We talk about who James was, what it means to have joy in trials, asking God for wisdom, staying faithful when life gets hard, fighting temptation, and remembering that God is still good even when life isn’t.

Trouble is going to come. The question is, who are you going to trust when it does?

What does it really mean to "act like men"?

Our world has plenty of opinions about masculinity, but God has already defined what a man of God looks like. In this episode, we open Scripture to talk about biblical manhood—not domination, pride, or selfishness, but courage, humility, leadership, sacrifice, and love.

This episode isn't just for men. The Gospel is for everyone. But today we're speaking directly to men because our families, churches, and communities desperately need men who will follow Jesus wholeheartedly.

We discuss what it means to:

• Stand firm in your faith
• Lead your family with humility
• Fight temptation and spiritual battles
• Surround yourself with godly brothers who will point you to Christ
• Love like Jesus loved

No matter your past, God isn't looking for perfect people—He's calling willing people.

In Episode 2 of The Forged Podcast, we answer one of the most important questions every person will ever face: Who is Jesus?

Together, we open God's Word and study:

📖 John 1:1–18
📖 Matthew 16:13–17
📖 Colossians 1:15–20

We discuss why Jesus is more than a good teacher or prophet—He is the Son of God, the Creator, the Savior, and the only hope for salvation. Whether you're new to the Bible, searching for truth, or have followed Christ for years, our prayer is that this conversation points you closer to Him.
