Ep. 115: Seeking Wise and Godly Counsel

Life is full of decisions. As guys, we make a lot of them without a second thought, while others keep us up at night. Whether the choices are major or minor, life is also full of counselors who are ready to help you sort through your options. As men of God, we have to be careful because the advice we get is only as good as its source. The book of Proverbs gives us insight as to why God's Word is the most reliable source of wisdom out there. As guys, we've got to be intentional about seeking godly wisdom from the Word and godly counsel from those around us.   Get Kent's book about finding godly counsel, Wise Guys: https://amzn.to/45RlvJf  Dive into the Connected Father digital course: https://bit.ly/3EGIMBB

Ep. 113: Putting Our Trust Where It Belongs

As guys, we know that trust doesn't always come easily. We like being in control, so relying on anyone for anything is a big ask. Unfortunately, that even includes God more times than we’d like to admit. While trusting Him gets a lot of lip service inside Christian circles, living out complete dependence on our Creator still comes with its own unique set of challenges. That's why identifying some of the roadblocks to trusting God makes a huge difference in our lives—and our families. Support Manhood Journey: https://bit.ly/donatetoMJ

Ep. 112: When the Waters Aren't So Still

For centuries, believers have taken comfort in biblical words and images found in passages like Psalm 23. We love the idea of walking beside still waters. That's probably because we know life doesn't usually work that way. The waters might be calm for a while; but, without warning, we find ourselves caught in the whitewater. We experience the fear of those moments when we're doing all we can to avoid the rocks and keep our heads above water. Thankfully, we never navigate the rapids alone. God is always there to throw us a line and provide peace in the middle of our chaos.   Subscribe to Mountain Monday: https://bit.ly/SubtoMountainMonday

Ep. 110: Seeing Family Trips in a Different Light

You know the drill... up early, car packed, and on the road for the next great family adventure. If that’s your story, then you’ll probably also admit that the incredible memories you create sometimes come with a dark side. Crowded attractions, high prices, and short fuses can leave a bitter taste that no cotton candy can sweeten. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With a little reimagination, your family trips can be so much more. They can be opportunities to teach (and practice) godly qualities like patience, stewardship, and servant leadership. Seeing your family outings through God’s eyes can be a real game-changer, regardless of your destination.   Take the Godly Father Assessment: https://bit.ly/GodlyDadQuiz
