Brotherhood, Battle, and Brewing: A Deeper Look into the Mission of Hope Over Coffee
In Episode 050 of Hope Over Coffee, Jared Ogea vulnerably invites listeners into a journey that intertwines passion, grit, and grace. The story behind Brotherhood, Battle, and Brewing is more than a tagline—it’s a mission forged in fire, catalyzed by crisis, and unleashed with conviction.
The episode unpacks how COVID became the unlikely catalyst for spiritual growth, brotherhood, and creative purpose. As Jared sat in his living room during quarantine, what began as simple Zoom calls evolved into something deeper—a microphone, a mission, and a movement. Hope Over Coffee was born in the midst of isolation, reminding listeners that even in solitude, God is stirring purpose.
The “brotherhood” formed through Fight Club groups, local men’s gatherings, and discipleship efforts has become a powerful anchor. “Battle” represents the spiritual and emotional warfare every man faces—and how the truth of the Gospel offers a way through. “Brewing,” of course, points not only to the coffee that warms many of these conversations but to the slow, intentional process of growth, transformation, and authentic dialogue.
This episode also touches on the genesis of Steel and Stone Ministries, men’s valor rallies, and the dream of marriage mediation and discipleship. Jared’s vulnerability in sharing his own battles with identity, sonship, and legacy—particularly in leading his children—creates a compelling example of living with intentionality and faith.
Conclusion
Whether you’re a man searching for deeper connection or someone seeking encouragement for your next step, Brotherhood, Battle, and Brewing will resonate. It’s more than a podcast episode—it’s a call to action, to community, and to Christ.
