Episode 125 A man is often broken before he’s built. We're Back with a Different Sound and Feel

After nearly five months away, the 318 Brotherhood Podcast returns in a completely new format. In this relaunch episode, Rick Kauffman and co-host Bubba open up about why the podcast disappeared, what God was doing during the silence, and why going back to the old format no longer felt right. This is no longer just another podcast. This is a LIVE Brotherhood conversation. Recorded inside the 318 Brotherhood House, this new format allows real men to participate live, ask questions, share their stories, and openly discuss the battles they are facing in health, relationships, faith, purpose, grief, addiction, business, and life. No scripts. No pretending. No polished performances. Just real conversations between broken men learning how to walk with God together. Inside this episode: • Why Rick shut the podcast down for nearly 5 months • The vision behind the LIVE Brotherhood format • Bubba’s powerful testimony of loss, sickness, diabetes, and restoration • The truth about isolation and why men silently struggle • Why “What is God saying to you?” became the foundation of the Brotherhood • The role of accountability, brotherhood, and healing • How the 318 House is helping men rebuild their lives through faith and community This episode is raw, unscripted, honest, and deeply personal. If you have ever felt broken, stuck, isolated, exhausted, overwhelmed, or like your best days were behind you, this conversation was recorded for you. The 318 Brotherhood House is open. Welcome home, brother. “No man left behind.” Join the 318 Brotherhood House Get the book The Ascension of the Warrior
