Our interview with Brandon Leum from Building a Refuge.

Brandon Leum is the founder of “Building a Refuge“. An organization focused on bringing the message of hope & encouragement to men. Their mission is to assist in building a community resources to walk with them through life.

We got him on the phone to learn more about the organization and talk about their upcoming event in La Crosse this weekend.

And they are hosting an event from noon until 1:30pm this Saturday at the Radisson Hotel in La Crosse to coincide with the Hairball show at the Omni Center on Saturday night.

Patrick Stone from Hairball will be taking part in a live discussion and Q&A that afternoon, sharing stories about the tragic loss of his sister to suicide at a young age, and how his life took many difficult turns along the way. Through those challenges, Patrick ultimately found faith in Christ and the strength to pursue sobriety.

Today, Patrick has been sober for more than 15 years and continues to use his platform to share a message of hope, recovery, faith, and resilience. He also actively supports missions like Building a Refuge, which is dedicated to supporting men’s mental health.

This Live Discussion and Q&A will give attendees a rare opportunity to hear Patrick’s story, ask questions, and have an honest conversation about mental health, faith, recovery, and overcoming life’s toughest challenges.

This event is FREE and open to the public. You’ll also have a chance to win tickets to the Hairball show at the Omni Center that night.
