Together we forge our identity, lead our families, and reclaim our future.

Ever had someone just go off on you for no reason? The real strength isn’t in clapping back — it’s in staying grounded. 💪

In this episode, Richie and Paul break down what it means to walk in the superpower of not taking things personally. Drawing from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, plus Colossians 3:3 and Proverbs 19:11, they talk about how true confidence and peace come from knowing your identity is secure in Christ — not in the opinions of others.

Learn how to pause before reacting, protect your peace, and lead with strength and grace when emotions run high.

📖 “A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.” – Proverbs 19:11

This one cuts deep, brothers. In today’s episode of Brotherhood Forged, we tackle one of the most challenging calls in scripture:

👉 “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” (Ephesians 5:25)

That means love that is sacrificial, patient, and selfless—not driven by pride, ego, or selfish ambition. We unpack what this looks like in real marriage, where it’s easy to get distracted, stubborn, or stuck in old patterns.

Inside this episode:

• Why pride is the #1 marriage killer

• How to love sacrificially without becoming a “nice guy”

• What spiritual leadership in the home actually means

• Lessons from The Five Love Languages, Disciplines of a Godly Man, and the faith of John Wooden

• Practical steps you can take today to love your wife more like Christ loves the church

🔥 Weekly Challenge: Find one small way to love your wife sacrificially today—whether that’s praying over her, doing something that serves her without expectation, or simply listening with humility.

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a movement.
