The 318 Brotherhood: Rebuilding Men, Restoring Families, Advancing God’s Kingdom

Richard Kauffman

🎙️ When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called forth 318 trained men—born in his own house—and led them into battle (Genesis 14:14). That moment wasn’t just about warfare. It was about leadership, legacy, and a man’s response to the call of God. The 318 Brotherhood Podcast is a call to modern-day warriors—men who are ready to rise from the pit, lead their families with purpose, and build lives aligned with the King’s design. Hosted by Richard Kauffman, author of Ascension
