What every man needs but rarely finds is brotherhood. In this episode of Heroic Hotline, Brett Powell and Sean Lynn dive deep into the loneliness epidemic men face—from pastors and bishops to fathers, leaders, and everyday guys. What if the secret to resilience isn’t standing alone, but standing together? 

Discover why honoring masculinity is essential, how “sacred brotherhood” heals hidden wounds, and why leaders especially need spaces where they can be known without shame. Along the way, Brett and Sean uncover the battles men are called to fight, the adventure they long to live, and the beauty they are meant to protect. If you’ve ever wondered why life feels heavier when carried alone—or how to build friendships that actually last—this conversation might change the way you see brotherhood forever.
