Forging The Path

Forging the Path is a podcast that empowers men to become who God created them to be. The vision is stronger marriages, stronger families, and a stronger society as a result of men rising up in their callings to be servant-leaders, protectors and providers. We do that by following Jesus, looking to the Scriptures, and walking with a band of brothers.
