    Tell it to the Church - S2E4

    Send us Fan Mail What does Jesus mean when He says, “tell it to the church”? In Season 2, Episode 4 of Three in the Fire, Duncan, Josh, and Max continue through Jesus’ pattern for conflict resolution in Matthew 18, moving into the third step: bringing unresolved conflict to the church. But does that mean airing someone’s sin in front of the entire congregation? What happens when the conflict involves a pastor or church leader? And what responsibility does the church have when someone refuses correction? The guys discuss church leadership, accountability, church hurt, gossip, pride, repentance, and why biblical love sometimes requires having conversations that aren’t comfortable. They also examine how churches can mishandle conflict when protecting reputations, avoiding confrontation, or choosing sides becomes more important than reconciliation. Jesus’ goal isn’t humiliation or punishment. The pattern is designed to pursue truth, repentance, restoration, and ultimately reconciliation. Even when the process has to escalate, the goal is still to restore the relationship. Scripture discussed: Matthew 18:15–20, 1 Corinthians 5, 1 Corinthians 13:4–8, Philippians 4:2, James 4 #ThreeInTheFire #TellItToTheChurch #Matthew18 #ChristianPodcast #ConflictResolution #ChurchConflict #ChurchHurt #BiblicalConflict #Accountability #ChurchLeadership #Reconciliation #Forgiveness #ChristianMen #BiblicalTruth #SpeakTruthInLove

    When They Won't Listen: Jesus' Pattern for Conflict Resolution S2E3

    Send us Fan Mail What do you do when you go to your brother... and they won’t listen? In Season 2, Episode 3 of Three in the Fire, Duncan, Josh, and Max continue the conversation on biblical conflict resolution by looking at the pattern Jesus gives us in Matthew 18. What happens when the first conversation doesn’t resolve the conflict? When should you involve others? What does forgiveness require? And does forgiving someone mean the relationship has to be restored? We talk about the witness principle, forgiveness vs. reconciliation, accountability within the church, speaking truth in love, and why grace doesn’t mean ignoring sin or avoiding hard conversations. Jesus gives us a pattern for dealing with conflict. Following it requires truth, humility, grace, and a willingness to have conversations most of us would rather avoid. Scripture discussed: Matthew 18, 1 Corinthians 5, Ephesians 4 Chapters 00:00 Understanding Jesus' Conflict Resolution Steps 02:56 The Witness Principle in Conflict Resolution 06:05 Real-Life Applications of Conflict Resolution 09:13 The Importance of Acknowledging Struggles 11:58 Exploring the Legal Context of Witness Principles 14:54 The Genius of Jesus in Conflict Resolution 18:12 The Role of Grace in Conflict Resolution 20:58 Navigating Expectations in Believer vs. Unbeliever Conflicts 33:47 The Essence of Forgiveness 36:24 Judgment and Accountability in the Church 39:20 The Importance of Relationships for Accountability 46:09 Speaking Truth in Love 55:58 Practical Steps for Conflict Resolution #ThreeInTheFire #ChristianPodcast #Matthew18 #ConflictResolution #BiblicalConflict #Forgiveness #Reconciliation #ChristianMen #BiblicalTruth #Accountability #SpeakTruthInLove #Faith #ChristianLiving #MensMinistry #Jesus

    Go to Your Brother: How Jesus Says to Handle Conflict S2E2

    Send us Fan Mail Conflict is inevitable. Reconciliation isn't automatic. In Matthew 18:15–20, Jesus gives us a clear process for what to do when a relationship breaks down. Go directly to the person. Deal with the issue. Pursue restoration. Simple? Yes. Easy? Not even close. In Season 2, Episode 2 of Three in the Fire, Duncan, Max, and Josh tackle one of the things Christians often know they should do but still avoid: biblical conflict resolution. Why do we let offenses sit for months or even years? Why is our instinct to create distance instead of pursuing reconciliation? And what does obedience to Jesus actually look like when you're hurt, angry, misunderstood, or simply don't want to have the conversation? We unpack Jesus' instructions in Matthew 18 and talk about the courage it takes to deal with conflict God's way. If there's someone you've been avoiding, this one might hit close to home. Subscribe to Three in the Fire for conversations about biblical manhood, faith, brotherhood, and becoming the men God created us to be. #BiblicalManhood #ChristianMen #ConflictResolution #BiblicalConflict #Reconciliation #Matthew18 #ChristianLiving #Brotherhood #MensMinistry #FaithInAction #FollowingJesus #ThreeInTheFire

    The Man Who Shows Up: Season 2 Premiere

    Send us Fan Mail Season 2 of Three in the Fire starts with a challenge every man needs to hear: Never underestimate the power of consistent presence. What do you do when you're tired? When you've prayed and nothing seems to change? When the relationship is still hard, the answer hasn't come, and you don't feel like you have anything left to give? You show up again. In the Season 2 premiere, Duncan, Josh, and Max talk about what it means to become the man who shows up: for God, for his wife, for his children, for the people entrusted to him, and for the work God has put in front of him. Through personal stories of fatherhood, loss, adoption, perseverance, and faith, the guys unpack why consistency can have more impact than charisma, talent, or motivation. They also dig into what Scripture says about staying steadfast when you're waiting on God: Why your presence matters more than you may realizeHow a father's consistency shapes his childrenWhat to do when God seems silentWhy waiting doesn't mean God has abandoned youThe difference between motivation and disciplineHow perseverance does its work in usWhy sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is simply show up againYou may be tired. You may not see the result yet. You may even be asking God, "How long?" Keep showing up. Because when a man shows up in faith, he carries the presence of God with him.

    Character Under Fire: Integrity Part 2

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when your character gets tested? In Part 2 of our Integrity series, we move beyond definitions and into real life. Duncan Brannan, Max Mawhirter, and Josh Davis explore what integrity looks like in relationships, leadership, marriage, family, and everyday decisions. Can a man have character without integrity? Why does God place such a high value on integrity? How do authority figures, family members, and even the people we love most influence our walk with God? Integrity isn’t perfection. It’s consistency. It’s faithfulness. It’s choosing what is right when nobody else is watching. Join us as we discuss biblical integrity, covenant faithfulness, honor, character, and the practical challenges every man faces in living out his faith. “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely.” — Proverbs 10:9 #ThreeInTheFire #Integrity #BiblicalManhood #ChristianMen #Character #Faith #Leadership #Discipleship #SentinelMinistries

    Who Are You When Nobody's Watching? Integrity Part 1

    Send us Fan Mail What is integrity? Most men would say they have it. But integrity isn’t proven when life is easy. It’s revealed when you’re under pressure. In this episode of Three in the Fire, Duncan, Josh, and Max tackle one of the most important qualities in a man’s life. They explore the biblical meaning of integrity, why it’s more than honesty, how small daily choices shape our character, and why God cares more about the condition of our hearts than our public image. The guys discuss: Why integrity means wholeness, not perfectionHow pressure reveals what’s really inside usThe connection between honesty and characterThe hidden compromises that slowly erode integrityWhat Scripture teaches about becoming a man of integrityWhy your integrity impacts your children and future generationsA righteous man who walks in his integrity—blessed are his children after him.

    The Power of A Threefold Cord: Biblical Brotherhood Ep. 4

    Send us Fan Mail There’s a reason the enemy works so hard to isolate men. In Part 4 of our Brotherhood Series, Duncan, Josh, and Max break down what biblical brotherhood actually looks like — not surface level friendship, but real relationships built on truth, trust, accountability, encouragement, and shared pursuit of God. The guys unpack: The "threefold cord" of Ecclesiastes 4:12Why isolation crushes menThe three types of brotherhood every man needsMentors, companions, and spiritual sonsVulnerability, accountability, and trustPractical tools for building strong brotherhoodHow encouragement and prayer can change a man’s life This conversation deals with masculinity, loneliness, church culture, mentorship, and the kind of friendships that sharpen men instead of leaving them stuck. “A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer. Three are even better because a triple braided cord is not quickly broken.” — Ecclesiastes 4:12 If this episode challenges or encourages you, share it with another man who needs brotherhood in his life.

    Loving Difficult People Like Jesus: Biblical Brotherhood Ep. 3

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Biblical Brotherhood series, we talk about the hardest part of real brotherhood: loving people when they disappoint you, frustrate you, wound you, or make a mess of their lives. Using Cain & Abel, 1 John 3, Proverbs, and the example of Jesus, we unpack: - What biblical love actually looks like - Why real brotherhood gets messy - Loving people without enabling them - Why truth and love must work together - The difference between manipulation and genuine love - Why many men avoid the responsibility of loving others well Jesus didn’t just love people when they were easy to love. He loved sacrificially, truthfully, and consistently. That’s the standard. #biblicalbrotherhood  #christianmen  #threeinthefire  #mensministry  #christianpodcast  #ironsharpensiron  #leadershipdevelopment  #discipleship  #masculinity  #jesusrevolution  #christianityexplored
