Masculinity, Fatherhood, Spirituality, Creativity and Brotherhood with Phil Pringle

Brave Men Podcast

Phil Pringle is a world-renowned artist, author, speaker and pastor. Join me and Dr. Phil Pringle and my son Brandon Cole in a heartwarming and profound discussion about the intersection of fatherhood, leadership, and spirituality. This episode of Brave Men will help you uncover the power of emotional bonds, particularly between fathers and sons, and how these connections shape young men's lives both inside and outside the church.

Phil is my pastor and close friend. Come inside the CMN office/studio as we have a craft coffee and share life together. Making it so much sweeter is my son Brandon engaging with us – and my son Bryce producing the episode.

Pastor Pringle shares his incredible journey from a small church start-up in a local Australia surf station to spearheading a global network of over 700 churches, illustrating the expansive reach of vision and faith. We laugh, reflect, and celebrate the significance of nurturing relationships, honoring the influential people in our lives, and the impact they have on our personal and spiritual development.

Phil’s books such as You The Leader, Disciple, Faith and Hope are powerful resources for thousands of leaders and pastors around the world. His mentoring and discipleship has launched thousands of key men into ministry and their life mission.

The essence of masculinity is often shrouded in misconceptions, but within this episode, we redefine its narrative by exploring the intersection of strength, creativity and spirituality. We honor historical figures who embodied both the warrior and the artist, proving that true masculinity mirrors the full image of God. Our discussion also embraces the delicate art of servant leadership within the family and the church, contrasting it with the pitfalls of control and the beauty of providing a secure and thriving environment.

Join us for a dialogue that promises to ignite your faith, leadership, and personal development journey. Every great story is built on the foundation of relationships, and ours is no exception. We delve into the heart of marriage, the power of choosing love and forgiveness, and the strength that comes from unwavering friendships.

Discover the art of leadership through the lens of servanthood and the rich tapestry of masculinity as it intertwines with creativity and faith. Phil, Brandon and Paul make this an instant favorite and one to share with others.
