Summary In part 2 of this 2 part conversation with Rich Pantusa we explore the theme of being sons in the workplace and how to see the sacred work of God in it. It draws parallels with the experiences of the Israelites in Egypt and their journey of sonship, highlighting the importance of going through uncomfortable places to develop character and trust in God. The conversation also discusses the preparation for reigning in the coming kingdom and the restoration of all things. Jesus' life is examined as a model for navigating challenges and finding purpose in the workplace. They discuss the significance of Jesus' hidden years and how they relate to our own journeys of initiation and maturity. They emphasize the need to bring our questions and frustrations to God, rather than trying to escape or find fulfillment elsewhere. They also share personal stories and insights, highlighting the importance of finding peace and purpose in our current contexts. The conversation concludes with a prayer for guidance and wisdom in navigating our work lives as sons.

In the stories we all love so much there is often an older man in the shadows guiding the hero on his journey. He is the Sage...the hero behind the hero. But what exactly is a "Sage"? Who becomes one? And why are sages so rare today? These are the questions we explore with Chris Bruno, Licensed Professional Counselor, Director of Restoration Project and author of the new (and excellent) book Sage: A Man's Guide into His Second Passage.
After decades of diving deep into the sacred stories of men as a counselor, Chris Bruno has learned why so few men successfully navigate the final earthly stage of their masculine journey. In part 1 of this 2 part conversation we start with the BIblical definition of a sage and explore the first and second passages every maturing man must take.

This is part 2 of our conversation with Jim Barker, a wise man who has for decades explored the invitation into sonship and become comfortable sitting with big questions. In this episode I press Jim to help us understand how sons are practically transformed by the love of God, and how experiencing it and operating in it go hand in hand.
There is a secret power released in us only when we learn to move from the sickness of the singular into the power of the plural. It's the essential shift from "Me to "We". Our intended destiny as God's sons can only be realized via ever-increasing union with our Father, a reality Jesus demonstrated with perfection so that today we can experience the same union as we follow in His footsteps.
Jim Barker has taken a wild journey from mocker of God to present day discipler of men. He is a national treasure, as are all the rare sages of the Kingdom.

My guest on this episode is Jim Barker, a man who has done the work to become a true sage to me and so many other men. I asked Jim to sit with me and share some of the stories and wisdom he's gathered on his journey from being a pro golfer who mocked Christians to a son of God and gifted discipler of men.

What does it mean to be "adopted" as sons by God? This is the question Scott Morin (co-director of Empowering Ranch) and I dive into in this episode. Scott returns to the podcast to bring some helpful perspective into this discussion using the lens of the Biblical language. We start with defining adoption, move into personal stories of how God transforms orphans into sons, and then discuss what the new testament has to say about it. (Galations 4:4-7, Romans 8:15, 23, 9:3-5 and Ephesians 3:1-6). Scott and his wife Mandy are gifted teachers leading disciples through scripture studies on Zoom calls on Wednesday nights.
