This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.

Welcome back to the forging table. The mission of Undaunted Life is equipping men to push back

darkness with content that forges spiritual mental and physical resilience at the forging table.

You'll see a group of regular guys forging spiritual resilience by digging into God's word and

spoke and it's like, that's not really your wheelhouse. You kind of like being behind the scenes.

But then as we've gotten the forging table going as we've been doing stuff like that, I was like,
