What if healing isn’t found in isolation, but in the presence of brothers who know the worst about you and love you anyway?

In this episode, Jerrad unpacks Step 2 of the Seven Steps of Discipleship: Find Your Brotherhood: a conversation about why God never intended men to walk alone. Through biblical truth, personal story, and raw honesty, he explores why confession, friendship, and brotherhood aren’t optional extras in the Christian life, they’re essential for healing.

Later in the episode, Jerrad is joined by Nick, a Dad Tired listener who shares how brotherhood changed everything for him, from addiction and isolation to freedom and deep friendship. Together they paint a picture of what real, gospel-centered friendships can look like for men who are ready to stop pretending and start healing.

With a mix of vulnerability and hope, this episode will help you:

  • Understand why it’s not good for man to be alone (Genesis 2)
  • Recognize how brotherhood leads to real healing (James 5:16)
  • Learn how confession brings both forgiveness and restoration
  • Discover practical ways to build honest friendships
  • See why every man needs a circle of brothers before he can lead his family well

Whether you’ve been burned by shallow friendships or you’re just tired of trying to follow Jesus alone, this episode is a reminder that strong families begin with healed men, and healed men don’t heal alone.

Prayer:
“Father, help me find and build the kind of friendships that bring healing. Give me brothers who will know me fully and love me still.”

Scriptures Mentioned:
Genesis 2:18
James 5:16
Proverbs 27:17
Ecclesiastes 4:9–12
John 15:12–13
