207. How to Build Brotherhood: The Missing Link in Men’s Freedom and Faith

Garrett Unclebach & Nick Surface Season 3 Episode 207

Brotherhood isn't just a buzzword—it’s God's design for men to thrive.

In today’s episode, we dive deep into what true brotherhood is, why it’s crucial in the life of every man, and how to build it in a way that actually transforms lives. This isn’t about casual friendship or surface-level small groups—this is about intentional, mission-driven, Christ-centered relationships that sharpen, support, and sustain men through the highs and lows of life.

Inspired by Josh Broome’s story of finding freedom from addiction through real brotherhood, we explore what makes this kind of connection so powerful—and why so many men are missing it.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • ✅ What brotherhood is—and isn’t (Psalm 133 as our foundation)
  • ✅ The key differences between brotherhood, friendship, and alignment
  • ✅ Why proximity doesn’t equal connection
  • ✅ The role of commitment, mission, and accountability in brotherhood
  • ✅ Standards for staying in (and why sometimes people must be removed)
  • ✅ How SEAL teams model brotherhood—and what regular men can learn from them
  • ✅ Why brotherhood costs something—and why it's worth everything
  • ✅ How to build a men’s group that’s more than just coffee and conversation

If you’re a man craving deeper connection, tired of shallow friendships, or leading a men’s group that feels stuck—this episode will give you the blueprint for real brotherhood.
