Men of faith need a warning label: “Don’t mistake my silence for ignorance, and don’t confuse my humility for weakness.” In today’s world, strength is often confused with loudness and pride. But real strength isn’t about flexing or proving yourself to others—it’s about walking humbly with God, knowing He fights your battles.

Join me, Preacher Joe—Marine vet, preacher, and biker—as I break down why men of faith don’t need the world’s validation. We walk with the Alpha and Omega, and that’s the only approval that matters. Let’s get real about true strength and how to live it out as men of God in a world that doesn’t understand.

Key Scripture: Matthew 19:30, Romans 12:19, 2 Timothy 1:7

Episode Title: 3 AM Friend: The Brotherhood Every Man Needs

Episode Description:

In this episode of Renegadez: Men of Faith & Fortitude, Preacher Joe takes a deep dive into the topic of true brotherhood and the powerful difference between a casual 6 PM friend and a ride-or-die 3 AM friend. Drawing on personal experiences and Scripture, this episode unpacks the importance of having—and being—a loyal friend who will show up, no questions asked, when life hits the hardest.

Key Scriptures:

• Proverbs 17:17 – “A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”

• John 15:13 – “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

• Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 – “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow.”

• Galatians 6:2 – “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”

• Proverbs 27:17 – “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”

Key Takeaways:

1. The Difference Between 6 PM and 3 AM Friends

A 6 PM friend is around for the good times, but a 3 AM friend is the one you can call when life falls apart. Preacher Joe challenges you to consider who that person is in your life, and more importantly, whether you’re living up to being that kind of friend.

2. Brotherhood in Christ

True brotherhood isn’t just about physical presence; it’s about emotional and spiritual support. Christ modeled what it means to stand by each other during tough times, even in the face of betrayal. We are called to do the same.

3. How to Build Lasting Friendships

We explore how to forge deep, meaningful friendships in a world that often pushes men to go it alone. Preacher Joe offers practical advice on vulnerability, trust, and the strength found in shared faith.
