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.
