Ep 60 Matt Winter of Mission Hills Church: Build Brotherhood Before You Need It

Wednesday, May 27, 2026 Most men have "people" in their lives but few have what can truly be regarded as brotherhood, the kind of guy who is there when a marriage falls apart, the deployment orders arrive, or the 2 am crisis hits. Today, Rob Stout is talking with Pastor Matt Winter at Mission Hills Church in Littleton, Colorado. Matt and his team are coaching men on how to carefully choose and cultivate healthy brotherhood relationships.   Welcome to The Next Stage, a podcast that helps men live lives of purpose born from identity as God's image-bearers.   Whether you are at the gym, on a flight, driving to an appointment, or just chilling out, this podcast is a resource to help men get to the next level.
