from Brotherhood Forged: A Christian Men’s Podcast on Faith, Fatherhood & Leadership · host Joey Koontz and Paul Bengel

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.
