{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Forged for a Purpose","slug":"forgedforapurpose","podcastDescription":"

Forged for a Purpose is a podcast by The Foundry Men’s Ministry, created to call men out of drift and into intentional, Christ-centered living. In a world that forms men by pressure and passivity, this podcast exists to remind us that God forges men with purpose—through truth, obedience, endurance, and faithfulness.

Each episode delivers Scripture-rooted teaching and honest conversation aimed at shaping men to lead well at home, stand firm in integrity, pursue holiness, and live on mission. This is not about hype or shortcuts, but about the slow, steady work of being formed by God for what matters most.

You were not made by accident.
You were forged for a purpose.
