The Brethren Club: Recent Episodes
Jean-Daniel Liwanga
The Brethren Club is a self-improvement podcast made for the Christian man. As we all go through life, we go through different experiences and learn valuable lessons. Our goal is to be 100% open and honest about the Christian life as men, young or old. We hope to make sense of our modern world through biblical lenses and the example of Jesus Christ. We encourage every man, Christian or non-christian, to listen and gain insightful guidance.
Hey Brethren, today we are getting practical. Take care of your body, very simple. One important aspect of leveling up is paying close attention to your daily hygiene habits. Do you shower everyday? Do your pits stank (sheesh)? Is your skin crusty like a desert? We want to give you some practical tips for leveling up your body care game. Implement this daily, and you will see great results in the health of your skin. If you find this helpful, please share it with others, especially your brethren. Thank you so much and have a blessed day 😊

Hey Brethren, let’s talk Adam and Eve. Yes, our first ancestors, the first human on the planet. We want to discuss some of the controversies and conspiracies surrounding this interesting and complex age-old tale. How did Eve get deceive? Where was Adam? Did Adam ever get approached by the serpent? Who’s really at fault? We want to dive into these questions and just understand a little bit more about our history.
Verse of the Day
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day, he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. (Genesis 2:2-3 NIV)
Hey Brethren, how is it going? Did you know that you have several enemies serving as obstacles to your development as a godly man? Today we will uncover the 3 major enemies every Christian male has to face daily. Some of you might already know them and some of you might not. I hope that this message awakens your spirit to realize that this life is not easy, but it is certainly traversable when you are living and trusting in Christ Jesus. If you find today's episode helpful and inspiring, make sure to share it with others, especially your fellow brethren. Thank you so much and have a blessed day 😊
Verse of the Day
I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint. (Jeremiah 31:25 NIV)
Hello Brethren 👋! Welcome to another enriching episode of the Brethren Club. Today we are tackling the state of laziness in our world. You probably already know that the world encourages comfort and avoids any sort of challenge. Most men these days settle in their terrible circumstances and let life happen to them. As a man of God, you ought to not replicate such attitudes. The precious life that God has given to you is for working towards becoming the man you’re meant to become. That’s going to take a lot of work (duh 😐). You are going to have to do things that are difficult in order to improve, that’s for everything in life. First, we will prove to you that being lazy is ungodly, and second, we will give you practical tips on how to defeat the laziness in your life. If you find this episode insightful and helpful please share it with your friends and brothers in Christ. Thank you so much and have a blessed day 🙂
Verse of the Day
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)
Brethren, brethren, what’s popping!! Man, it’s been quite a while, almost 3 months. Sheesh. Well, no more waiting, we are officially back! Now that we are back, we will post weekly content on Christian men and self-development.
I am very honored to introduce a permanent addition to the team. Brother Noah and I will be hosting episodes together, we are both locking in this summer for this podcast and will dedicate ourselves to producing high-quality content for y’all.
Verse of the Day
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19 RSV)
Hello Brethren, welcome back to another fruitful episode of the Brethren Club. Today we will cover a topic that is so underappreciated or talked about: hygiene. Yay! I know you are so excited to talk about this, I know I am. We will go over the key must for not just good hygiene, but great hygiene for the Christian male. Our community of men sometimes neglects this side of self-improvement. We tend to focus on improving our financials, fitness, and relationships, but rarely do we think about our hygiene. Fellas, let’s be honest: you want to marry a wife that is not only going to be a godly woman, but also an undisputed 10/10. Who doesn’t want that? But we have to be honest at some point and ask ourselves “Am I even close to a 10/10 guy?” These tips will help you level your overall hygiene, boost your confidence, and bring you closer to that 10/10 guy bro science tested. If you find value in this episode, please make sure to share it with your guys, your homies, and your crew. Let’s all level up together fellas. Thank you so much, God bless :)

“Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14
Hello brethren, today is a check-in on how January was for me regarding work, school, and life. This episode is also a refresher on why this community exists: to equip all brethren on the planet to learn and discern their purpose to bring glory to God. I hope today is filled with blessings for you and your family. Thank you so much, God bless :)
Verse of the Day
“My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:2
Brethren and brethren welcome back to another episode of your favorite podcast account on the internet. We are taking a much-deserved break from the heavy research of the History of Christianity, and we are diving into the Word of God today by reading the story of Abel and Cain. I have always wanted to read that story again, so here is my perfect excuse to do it 😅. But seriously, this story is packed with a lot of little nuggets of lessons, lessons that are very applicable to our daily lives. So come along on the journey, I hope you learn something new. Please as always, share this with your family, your grandma, your dog, and most especially other brethren in your circle. I hope today is filled with blessings for you and your family. Thank you so much, God bless :)
Verse of the Day
"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you." (Matthew 7:1-2)

Hello, hello Brethren! Welcome back to another packed, researched, fruitful episode of the Brethren Club. Today we will be doing a recap of the last episode and concluding the History of Christianity series. So what are we going to cover? We will cover everything from the Council of Chalcedon to the big split within the church. In this episode, we spend much time discussing the little cracks that start forming in the church and how these led to the major division of the followers of Christ. Major turning points, major theological differences, and major actors will all be discussed in this episode. As always, I thank you for your support in this podcast, it’s truly appreciated. I hope you pull something insightful out of this, and that you may learn something new about church history. If you find value in this, please share it with friends and family, especially other brethren in Christ. Thank you again, God bless :)
Verse of the Day
"He said to his disciples, 'The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.'" (Matthew 9:37-38)
Hello Brethren, como te vas? Today we will be continuing our History of Christianity series, where we attempt to dive into the history of every denomination within the Christian faith. Last week we left off with the oppression of Christians living in the Roman Empire, between 100-300 AD. This week we are entering in-depth into the events that occurred after 300 AD such as the legalization of Christianity, more growth and spread throughout the regions, notable characters present, the Council of Ephesus and Chalcedon, and the first major break between believers (the Great Schism). I hope this episode enlightens you and provides you with more knowledge of your faith. As always, make sure to share with fellow brethren if you find value. I pray that you might be blessed through this episode, have a wonderful day. God bless :)
Verse of the Day
"Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it." (Psalms 34:14)
This is something I have always wanted to do for a long time. Christianity has a very long history full of amazing men and women who stayed faithful to the teaching of Jesus Christ, son of God. At one point in time, Christians didn’t call themselves Catholic, Protestant, or non-denominational, we were all grouped under one identity. After many debates, splits, mergers, and wars, Christians can now identify themselves with a specific sect within Christianity. Today, I want to bring you back to the beginnings, and no not Adam and Eve, but to how the church started before the major splits occurred. This will be the beginning of the THEO 101 special episodes, where we dive deep into the different denominations, their histories, their major leaders, and their core belief systems. I am going through this series because I believe it is really important to know our history. How can you defend your faith if you really don’t where it came from? Brethren, I hope you find value in this series, learning a little bit more about the history of Christianity. Please share this with other brethren, God Bless :)
Verse of the Day
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds" (Hebrews 10:24)
Hello Brethren! Long time no see. I know, I know...I haven't posted in a while. School, work, life, and everything threw my routine all over...but it's 2024 now! Your boy is about to be on some crazzzy efficiency this year. After conversing with a good friend, I realized how important this podcast is for our generation, young people need this! I shall not neglect my duty to be a difference maker, therefore this year I will keep myself to a mandatory 1 episode per week minimum. This year we will go in-depth on religion, self-improvement, finding your purpose, life as a young man, cough dating/relationships cough, and more. In Jesus's name, I declare this year to be a year of success for both the podcast and you, my brethren. I pray we grow into a community of young Christian men who want to impact the world by accomplishing the mission God has given to each one of us.
I also want to say thank you! Thank you to all of those who listened in 2023, my podcasts were and are still rough, I am learning a lot on the way, but I really love doing this. Thank you so so very much, God bless you :)
Brethren, brethren, brethren, we are back! I have the pleasure of introducing the second-ever Brethren and Sistren Talks episode, where I sit with at least one brother and sister in Christ and talk about faith, life, and relationships. Today's episode is special: we have 6 whole guests, yes you read that right. I had such a blast recording with these people! The 7 of us discussed topics of faith such as growing up Christian, obstacles young Christians face in the world, and questions about the faith. We also get into relationships as young Christians, specifically from the viewpoint of women. This is a good podcast for you brethren trying to see the other side but also for the sistren that listen to the podcast. I hope you gain valuable perspective from these young Christians. Have a blessed day :)
P.S. Should we have a part 2?

Brethren, brethren, brethren! Welcome to the first Brethren Talks edition, where I, your lovely host, sit down with at least one brethren in the faith to talk about living life in a godly manner. Today I am joined by Brother D and Brother J, to talk about everything. Brother D and Brother J are actually our first black brothers (shoutout DRC) to be joining me and I am excited to hear about their perspectives as fellow immigrants. This episode will cover everything from faith, biblical truths, struggles of men in our day and age, dating (of course), and self-improvement. If you find value please do share it with any man that you know. Hope today your day is filled with goodness, God bless :)

Social Media is everywhere. Everyone has an account on some platform. The prevalent media platforms, at least today, are TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Our young generation has grown alongside these platforms, we are almost intertwined. But today Brethren I am giving you a different view on social media. I will show you why you should delete your social media account today and never look back. If I prove it to you using biblical truth will you believe me? Hope this inspires you, God bless :)
Verse of the Day
“And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.” (Romans 12:1)
I know I am beating a dead horse, but I got to keep talking about the biggest obstacle in a man’s life. Sexual Immorality is a disease that has destroyed the life of men like Samson, Solomon, Judah (son of Jacob/Israel), and David. It is a dangerous weapon that the enemy uses against us every day. Our modern society has totally accepted this sin and it’s almost unavoidable. Almost. As brethren, we are called to a higher standard and so we must fight against this evil and disgusting sin. Today I will be giving you 5 extreme tips on how to prevent yourself from falling into this lie of Satan. If you find this helpful, please, please share this with a brethren so that he too might not fall into sin. I love guys, God bless :)

Verse of the Day
"For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." (Psalms 100:5)
Brethren, brethren this is a packed episode about how you should act/behave around the women in your life. In this episode, we dive deep into the 3 distinct relationships: familial, friendship, and romantic. Family relationships are easy ones, so I really don’t spend much time talking about them. However, friendships and romantic relationships are quite different. In my long 21 years of living on this earth, I have realized that there are ways to treat female friends and female romantic partners. This is going to be a juicyyyyy one, packed with a lot of tips on how to go about those relationships. Hope you enjoy it, God bless you :)
Verse of the Day
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” (Romans 8:18)
Ohhh Samson! Yes, brethren today we will talk about Samson. You might already know Samson as the strong, muscular, ripped, yoked unit that he is, but do you know about Samson's life and how he REALLY lived?? You might be amazed at how Samson really lived his life. The idea came into my mind some time ago and I wanted to actually read up on his story and share some insightful bits with you. I hope that you get something out of his story. May God bless you today :)
Verse of the Day
"But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked" (Luke 6:35)
Brethren, it is here. The moment you have been waiting for!! Today I sat down with two Christian young adults (who also happen to be my friend) and we talked about everything 🤯. We talked about our faith and what it means to be a Christian in this day and age. Guys, this was an amazing podcast to record, so just chill, sit back, and listen. Brethren, I hope this gives you a small perspective into the lives of other Christian folks like you. Thank you and have a blessed day :)
P.S --> The second part of this recording was unfortunately not functional. We recorded 2hrs more of content that had no sound. I sincerely apologize for that. But do not despair, the Lord is always good. I will be planning to sit down with my two guests to talk about the other half of the convo (some spicy 🌶️ stuff).
Verse of the Day
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened" (Matthew 7:7-8)
This is such a late upload (so sorry). I recorded this the day before my 21st birthday. I praise God for allowing me to reach such a milestone in life. This episode is lowkey just for me, to look back at how my year 20 went. But I cover many things such as school, friends, work, faith-building, etc.
Also, tomorrow will be our official first podcast with guests (yay!!!!). I will be sitting with two amazing young adults and we will talk about living as a Christian man/woman in the 21st century. I have many plans to sit down with more and more people as this community grows, but let's take it one day at a time. Please stay tuned for that. Thank you so much, hope you have a blessed day :)

"For you were called for freedom, brothers.j But do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh; rather, serve* one another through love." (Galatians 5:13)
Hey, there brother, I hope you had a splendid week. Today you are getting a 2-for-1 deal. I wanted to discuss the chase for money, fame, and success. Brethren, as men of Christ we are not called to chase such things. Instead, we are called to "store up treasures in heaven" (Matthew 6:19-20). God wants you to be successful, but the way you get there will not be because you longed to be successful/rich or wealthy. In this video, I describe to you what mentality you must have to reach success in life (at least financially). Hope this gives you insight and wisdom today, God bless :)
Important verse: Luke 12:16-21
The first job God gave to man was to work and keep the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:15). Every man on this earth is called to grow in his skill set by focusing on his work and limiting distractions. Brethren, get in your grind! Eliminate every person/place/behavior that is preventing you from growing into the man God called you to be. I am realizing that there is a sweet age range where we as men can experiment with several different goals without greatly affecting our future.
Brethren, I encourage you to spend these early years of your life building yourself and chasing your dreams: go and start a business, go and get better at your craft, go and learn valuable skills. Building yourself now Brethren will set you up for success in the future. God Bless :)
Proverbs 22:29 --> "Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men"
2 Chronicles 15:7 --> "But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded."
Colossians 3:23 --> "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,"
Yo Brethren, do you go JIM? I go JIM and in this video, I am encouraging you to go JIM. I have seen in my personal experience the positive effects of working out, the major one being discipline. Brethren you need to start developing a habit of working out, trust me it will help you succeed in life. I also have scripture to support my point and convince you that working out is a MUST. Enjoy and God Bless :)
Bible verse
1 Corinthians 6:19 --> "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own"
P.S. The sound at the beginning is a little wonky, but it gets better throughout the video 🙃.
For a long time, I used to sleep and wake up whenever I felt like it. Back in my high school days I never prioritized my sleep. I slept in often during school days, causing me to rush when I was awake. It was only 2 years ago that I realized sleep is an essential part of your well-being. You should wake up early; I have a bible verse to prove it.
Mark 1:35
Verse of the Day: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" Hebrews 11:1
Bro, did you hear about what happened in Brazil? Brazil's annual carnival between Feb 15-17 had depictions mocking Jesus, like for real?
Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D12tVfsWt6k
I don't like to be that guy but the world will only get worse and worse from here till the words of revelations get fulfilled.
Please Brethren, be aware. God Bless :)
Hello Brethren, I am back. It's been a while. I haven't forgotten you. Here is 30 minutes of me ranting about how I haven't been motivated and why I think some churches are failing us young people. Anyway, I am glad you are here, I hope you are well, and I pray that you have a good day. God Bless :)
Verse of the Day: "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"
(1 John 4:4)
Verse of the Day:
"Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will take hold of me" (Psalm 139:10)
The month of January is over and we are well into February. How was it? I am trying this new style of podcasting, which is a little slower and calmer than what I regularly do. These types of podcasts are going to be more emotional, and more thoughtful than advice-full. Please enjoy brethren, God Bless :)
My mic cut out 😂. Here is the rest of the podcast! Have a blessed day :)
More bible verse
Proverbs 27:17,
"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."
1 Corinthians 15:33,
"Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11,
"Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing."
Who are your friends? No like really...who are your friends? Do you find yourself in a group of men and women who live for God or for the world? Are your conversations supernatural and about useless things of the flesh or are your conversation sane and holy and pure? Dear brethren, I want to challenge you today and look around your friend circle. The people around you shape you and influence you. What are you letting influence you? Please listen to this episode, trust me you will benefit from it. God Bless you :)
Interesting bible quotes about friendship
Proverbs 13:20,
"Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm."
Proverbs 18:24,
"A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
Proverbs 22:24-25,
"Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare."
Hey guys! This podcast is going to be a very distinctly different genre from my regular podcasts. I basically talk to myself and recap how the end of the year went for me. And I talk about a bunch of other things. This style is going to be very emotional, I think it will be a good mix with the high-energy version of me episodes. Enjoy! God Bless you ;)
I go through a very high overview of the simple habits that any Christian man can start to develop to better themselves. In the coming days, I will be going over each in-depth. This is a brethren-to-brethren style podcast where I talk directly to you. If you want to develop simple and practical habits to change your life, listen to this podcast. God bless you :)
Verse of the Day --> "And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Phillippians 4:19)
Hello Brethren! In this episode, I discuss the pros and cons of the modern-day self-improvement space. I want to show you the contrast between Christ-centered self-improvement versus worldly self-improvement. I want to try my best to bring up scripture so below are the two scripture passages that I used. Hope this brings some clarity to your own self-improvement journey. God Bless!
Two bible verses: Matthew 6:33 & 1 Thessalonians 4:3
This is the first-ever episode of the Brethren Club. What is the Brethren Club? It's the first-ever self-improvement podcast for Christian men. No matter how old you are you can start improving every major part of your life. I looked at the self-improvement space and I love a lot of it. However, I found that a lot of the ideas proposed and ideology went directly against my Christian moral values. A lot of promiscuity, drinking, and indulgence in worldly pleasures are promoted by the mainstream self-improvement space. I want to take a biblical perspective to improve as a man. I want to help men develop their spiritual, physical, emotional, and financial circumstances. As I making this podcast I am also building myself. I am not where I want to be but I am not where I was. Let's grow this community of men who want to live out their purpose for the glory of God! Bless you :)
