In this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones sit down with Rees Nicholes to talk about the power of mentoring, the necessity of humility, and the kind of relationships that help men grow in Christ. Rees shares his story of growing up in the church, walking away from faith, serving in the Australian Army, battling PTSD, depression, and addiction, and ultimately being brought back to God through grace, truth, and the investment of godly men in his life.

Together, they explore why so many men resist mentoring, why insecurity often leads to passivity, and why real spiritual growth happens best in honest, relational discipleship. The conversation also touches on marriage, fatherhood, accountability, blind spots, and the importance of loving others enough to speak truth into their lives. This is a strong and deeply personal conversation that calls men to both seek out mentors and become mentors for others.
