Real Men. Real Talk. Rooted in Faith.

Welcome to the Brotherhood Forged Podcast, where two men of faith—Joey Koontz and Paul Bengel—get real about life, leadership, marriage, mindset, and the daily battle to live with purpose. We speak to men who want to grow stronger, love deeper, and lead better—all through the power of Jesus Christ.
