Tom Schwab has real-life experience with blending families.  He and his wife, Karen married and attempted to blend families consisting of two teenagers and two elementary school age children. Needless to say, this was not an easy task and they said it felt impossible at times.  It took years, but with strong faith and lots of prayers, things started to come together.  Tom and Karen had a clear vision of the kind of marriage and family they wanted and would not give up!   Tom says he still doesn't have all the answers but if his experience can help even one Dad through a challenging time, he would be thrilled.   To find out contact Tom, you can visit him on LinkedIn or Facebook, by typing in his name: Tom Schwab (of Kalamazoo, MI). ----------------------   If you want to help us transform the lives of even MORE MEN for God’s glory, please take a minute to leave us a helpful REVIEW on iTunes: http://www.rmcpodcast.com and SHARE this podcast with any young man (or men) you’re mentoring or discipling.

My guest on the show today, Dr. Christopher Yuan, is a man I first heard about from my spiritual father a couple of years ago, who shared a video of Dr. Yuan giving a testimony of his remarkable redemption story with his Mom. It was truly incredible. But today, we’re not going to spend as much time talking about Dr. Yuan’s testimony, but more importantly, we’re going to talk to him about his latest book, Holy Sexuality and the Gospel, and learn how we (as men) can understand same sex attraction better, and as fathers, how to  biblically love and minister to those (maybe our own children) who have same sex attraction. Dr. Christopher Yuan is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute, and he holds a Doctorate of Ministry Degree and a Masters Degree in biblical exegesis. And Dr. Yuan has taught as a professor at Moody Bible Institute; and he also co-authored his first book with his mother: entitled, Out of a Far Country: A Gay Son’s Journey to God, a Broken Mother’s Search for Hope – which has sold over 100,000 copies and is now in eight languages. To find out more about Dr. Yuan, you can visit him at https://christopheryuan.com. Or you can follow him on Twitter/Instagram @christopheryuan, fb.com/christopheryuan, and youtube.com/christopheryuan | or email him at cy@christopheryuan.com --------------------   If you want to help us transform the lives of even MORE MEN for God’s glory, please take a minute to leave us a helpful REVIEW on iTunes: http://www.rmcpodcast.com and SHARE this podcast with any young man (or men) you’re mentoring or discipling.

Statistics tell us that 1 out every 6 men are sexually abused as children (1 out of 4 women), but did you know that the average man holds onto that secret shame of abuse for an average of 25 years? And I can attest to the validity of that study, because I held onto my secret shame for 19 years before I told anyone. Now as a sexual abuse survivor, myself, I’ve made it my mission to openly talk about sexual abuse when we launched this podcast over 6 years ago; but today I invited, Licensed Psychologist, Dr. Douglas Carpenter, to talk to us about the shame associated with sexual abuse.   So, if you’ve ever been stuck in shame; struggled with your identity as a man; felt helpless, hopeless, and should I say, even worthless, then you need to listen today’s guest. Dr. Doug and his wife, Mary, who is a licensed social worker, are the founders of Insight Counseling Services.  Dr. Doug is the author of two books: Secret Shame and Childhood Trauma and the Non-Alpha Male. Dr. Doug has a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Forest Institute of Professional Psychology; he has a Master of Science in Counseling and Substance Abuse Rehabilitation from Pace University, and has an Associates of Arts in Theological Studies from Kent Christian College. Dr. Doug has a keen ability to translate academic psychology and sound clinical research into clinical practice and in his writings. He has extensive study and therapeutic skills in the area of gender role conflict, shame, sexual abuse and trauma, and chemical and behavioral addictions. If you would like to contact Dr. Doug, you can email him at drdwc69@me.com or visit his websites at https://douglascarpenter.com | https://insightcounselingpc.com  -----------------  If you want to help us transform the lives of even MORE MEN for God’s glory, please take a minute to leave us a helpful REVIEW on iTunes: http://www.rmcpodcast.com and SHARE this podcast with any young man (or men) you’re mentoring or discipling.

Pastor Toure’ Roberts, who just wrote a new book (published by Zondervan), called “Balance: Positioning Yourself to Do All Things Well.” In his book, Toure’ lays out a framework to prevent you from burning out and to add fuel to help you excel through the journey of life. And if Pastor Toure’ Roberts name sounds familiar, it should, not only because his name is unique, but because he’s the author of the national best-selling book, “Purpose Awakening and Wholeness,” and he’s the founder and co-pastor of one of the most influential churches in the country, called ONE, based in Los Angeles, California.  Along with his wife, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and their six children, they split time between LA and Dallas, TX. If you would like to find out more about Toure' and get a copy of his book, visit him at: https://www.toureroberts.com/ and follow him on Instagram: @TouréRoberts -----------------   If you want to help us transform the lives of even MORE MEN for God’s glory, please take a minute to leave us a helpful REVIEW on iTunes: http://www.rmcpodcast.com and SHARE this podcast with any young man (or men) you’re mentoring or discipling.
