The Valiant Forge Podcast
The Valiant Forge is a podcast for Christian men who want to leave a legacy that lasts. Hosted by Mark Osborne — a husband, father, and grandfather — each episode is a call to rise, not just for ourselves, but for the generations coming after us. Through raw conversations about faith, fatherhood, failure, and forgiveness, Mark invites men to step into their role as spiritual leaders and legacy builders. Whether you’re in the trenches of parenting or walking as a grandfather and guide, this show is a forge — where scars become wisdom, and men are strengthened for God’s Kingdom.
