In this episode of The Unquenchable Fire Podcast, four friends (Colton Kirkpatrick, Jake Boyle, Loren Jones and Braxton Stroup) and brothers in Christ sit down for an honest conversation on what it means to be a part of The King’s Guard: men who anchor their lives, families, friendships, and leadership in Christ alone.

We unpack the biblical call for men to live with purpose, conviction, and spiritual clarity in a culture that constantly fights for the hearts of our wives, our children, and our brotherhoods.

Topics:
• Godly Friendship: Why biblical brotherhood matters and how “iron sharpens iron” in real life.
• Sharpening One Another: Honest accountability, biblical correction, and becoming better friends, fathers, and husbands.
• Fatherhood in a Secular America: How Christian men can raise children to know and love God while navigating an ever-increasing secular culture.
• Marriage as Ministry: Loving your wife as Christ loved the Church
