In this episode, Jerrad sits down with filmmakers and ministry leaders Alex and Stephen Kendrick. They share how their father broke a cycle of brokenness and showed them how to lead with faith. The Kendricks talk about the heart behind their new film The Forge, why real discipleship is rare, and what it actually looks like in daily life.
What You’ll hear:
• Why fatherhood and discipleship go hand in hand
• How one man’s faith can change a family tree
• What they learned about manhood while making The Forge
• Why real discipleship is about imitation, not just instruction
• How to start discipling even if you don’t feel ready
• What happens when men choose comfort over calling
Tune in to hear why the next generation is waiting for men who will show them how to follow Jesus — not just talk about it.
