What do you do when you go to your brother... and they won’t listen?

In Season 2, Episode 3 of Three in the Fire, Duncan, Josh, and Max continue the conversation on biblical conflict resolution by looking at the pattern Jesus gives us in Matthew 18.

What happens when the first conversation doesn’t resolve the conflict? When should you involve others? What does forgiveness require? And does forgiving someone mean the relationship has to be restored?

We talk about the witness principle, forgiveness vs. reconciliation, accountability within the church, speaking truth in love, and why grace doesn’t mean ignoring sin or avoiding hard conversations.

Jesus gives us a pattern for dealing with conflict. Following it requires truth, humility, grace, and a willingness to have conversations most of us would rather avoid.

Scripture discussed: Matthew 18, 1 Corinthians 5, Ephesians 4

Conflict is inevitable. Reconciliation isn't automatic.

In Matthew 18:15–20, Jesus gives us a clear process for what to do when a relationship breaks down. Go directly to the person. Deal with the issue. Pursue restoration.

Simple? Yes. Easy? Not even close.

In Season 2, Episode 2 of Three in the Fire, Duncan, Max, and Josh tackle one of the things Christians often know they should do but still avoid: biblical conflict resolution.

Why do we let offenses sit for months or even years? Why is our instinct to create distance instead of pursuing reconciliation? And what does obedience to Jesus actually look like when you're hurt, angry, misunderstood, or simply don't want to have the conversation?

We unpack Jesus' instructions in Matthew 18 and talk about the courage it takes to deal with conflict God's way.

If there's someone you've been avoiding, this one might hit close to home.

Season 2 of Three in the Fire starts with a challenge every man needs to hear:

Never underestimate the power of consistent presence.

What do you do when you're tired? When you've prayed and nothing seems to change? When the relationship is still hard, the answer hasn't come, and you don't feel like you have anything left to give?

You show up again.

In the Season 2 premiere, Duncan, Josh, and Max talk about what it means to become the man who shows up: for God, for his wife, for his children, for the people entrusted to him, and for the work God has put in front of him.

Through personal stories of fatherhood, loss, adoption, perseverance, and faith, the guys unpack why consistency can have more impact than charisma, talent, or motivation.

They also dig into what Scripture says about staying steadfast when you're waiting on God:

• Why your presence matters more than you may realize
• How a father's consistency shapes his children
• What to do when God seems silent
• Why waiting doesn't mean God has abandoned you
• The difference between motivation and discipline
• How perseverance does its work in us
• Why sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is simply show up again

You may be tired. You may not see the result yet. You may even be asking God, "How long?"

Keep showing up.

Because when a man shows up in faith, he carries the presence of God with him.

Welcome to Season 2 of Three in the Fire.

What happens when your character gets tested?

In Part 2 of our Integrity series, we move beyond definitions and into real life. Duncan Brannan, Max Mawhirter, and Josh Davis explore what integrity looks like in relationships, leadership, marriage, family, and everyday decisions.

Can a man have character without integrity? Why does God place such a high value on integrity? How do authority figures, family members, and even the people we love most influence our walk with God?

Integrity isn’t perfection. It’s consistency. It’s faithfulness. It’s choosing what is right when nobody else is watching.

Join us as we discuss biblical integrity, covenant faithfulness, honor, character, and the practical challenges every man faces in living out his faith.

“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely.” — Proverbs 10:9

What is integrity?

Most men would say they have it. But integrity isn’t proven when life is easy. It’s revealed when you’re under pressure.

In this episode of Three in the Fire, Duncan, Josh, and Max tackle one of the most important qualities in a man’s life. They explore the biblical meaning of integrity, why it’s more than honesty, how small daily choices shape our character, and why God cares more about the condition of our hearts than our public image.

The guys discuss:

• Why integrity means wholeness, not perfection
• How pressure reveals what’s really inside us
• The connection between honesty and character
• The hidden compromises that slowly erode integrity
• What Scripture teaches about becoming a man of integrity
• Why your integrity impacts your children and future generations

A righteous man who walks in his integrity—blessed are his children after him. (Proverbs 20:7)

If you’re serious about becoming the man God created you to be, this conversation is for you.

There’s a reason the enemy works so hard to isolate men.

In Part 4 of our Brotherhood Series, Duncan, Josh, and Max break down what biblical brotherhood actually looks like — not surface level friendship, but real relationships built on truth, trust, accountability, encouragement, and shared pursuit of God.

The guys unpack:

• The "threefold cord" of Ecclesiastes 4:12
• Why isolation crushes men
• The three types of brotherhood every man needs
• Mentors, companions, and spiritual sons
• Vulnerability, accountability, and trust
• Practical tools for building strong brotherhood
• How encouragement and prayer can change a man’s life

This conversation deals with masculinity, loneliness, church culture, mentorship, and the kind of friendships that sharpen men instead of leaving them stuck.

“A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer. Three are even better because a triple braided cord is not quickly broken.” — Ecclesiastes 4:12

If this episode challenges or encourages you, share it with another man who needs brotherhood in his life.

In this episode of the Biblical Brotherhood series, we talk about the hardest part of real brotherhood: loving people when they disappoint you, frustrate you, wound you, or make a mess of their lives.

Using Cain & Abel, 1 John 3, Proverbs, and the example of Jesus, we unpack:

- What biblical love actually looks like
- Why real brotherhood gets messy
- Loving people without enabling them
- Why truth and love must work together
- The difference between manipulation and genuine love
- Why many men avoid the responsibility of loving others well

Jesus didn’t just love people when they were easy to love. He loved sacrificially, truthfully, and consistently.

That’s the standard.

Most men have people around them... but very few have real brotherhood.

In this episode of Three in the Fire, we unpack what biblical brotherhood actually looks like through the story of Cain and Abel, and real-life experiences with friendship, accountability, isolation, and spiritual growth.

Most guys don’t need hundreds of friends. They need a few real brothers who know them, challenge them, encourage them, and point them back to God.

If you’ve ever struggled with isolation, surface-level friendships, or trying to carry life alone, this episode is for you.

Most men have guys around them. But very few have brotherhood.

Not the surface level kind. Not guys you joke with, watch games with, or text once in a while.

We’re talking about something deeper. Something some men have never actually experienced.

In this first episode of our new series Biblical Brotherhood, we break down what real brotherhood looks like—according to God’s design. What it is. What it isn’t. And why so many men feel alone even when they’re not.

Because the truth is... You can’t become the man you’re called to be in isolation.

We talk about:

• Why most “friendships” fall short
• The difference between being known and just being around people
• What biblical brotherhood actually requires
• Why it’s uncomfortable—and why that’s the point

This is about adding the right men to your life... and the right kind of relationships.

If you’ve ever felt like something’s missing—this is it.

What does it actually mean to be a man of God?

After 7 episodes unpacking biblical manhood, this conversation brings it all together.

In this recap episode, we revisit the core truths that define real masculinity—not by culture, but by Scripture.

From arete (moral excellence) to chazaq (strength and courage), from identity in Christ to calling, perseverance, and brotherhood—this episode distills the foundation every man needs.  

We talk about:

• Why Jesus is the true model of manhood
• How identity in Christ shapes everything
• The difference between calling, roles, and work
• Why courage is obedience to God—even when it doesn’t make sense
• The power of perseverance when life gets hard
• Why no man is meant to walk this out alone

This is about becoming the man God created you to be.
