Let's face it. Most guys...just aren't great at talking.

We'd rather gesture and grunt.

I definitely prefer "the look"

Yet, despite all our mastery of these essential skills, they don't seem to satisfy our wives and family.

Join me in this episode to continue the discussion from last week about how to talk in way that brings us closer to the person we're trying to connect with, rather than further away.

It's worth it. Your family, Your friends, and even Your Lord want to have real communication!

"Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me..."

Fewer ideas could be more incorrect - or more dangerous!

Join me in this episode to dive into the topic of how to communicate. This is extremely powerful stuff - especially for your marriage, but also for your other close relationships.

The words that come out of your mouth, and the way you let words into your ears, can be one of the most important skills you can develop for a happy life.

We all have a history. We all have stories.

These stories often define how we act and what we do - even if when we don't want them to.

For most of us, we have pieces of our past that still cause strong emotions. Those emotions are there for a reason! There is work to be done here.

In this episode, I discuss the power of exploring our Past. Story Work is difficult, but essential if we really want to grow in holiness and virtue.

The past isn't dead...in fact it isn't even really the past!

Some of us grew up camping - and some did not. Especially if you have younger children, it can seem more than a bit daunting to venture out into bug-infested wastelands that can both freeze and burn you on the same day!

This episode is something new. Steve Vando joins me and we flip the tables! He interviews me about my experience taking kids camping (along with all the guest-heckling that a host is supposed to do.)

We discuss a lot of practical tips as well as share some good stories.

If you have thought that maybe you should try the outdoors with children, then this episode is a Must-Listen!

In the beginning, The Father spoke the Word to create the world. Adam then Named all the animals.

Ever wonder why the secular studies show that it's up to Dad to make sure the kids stay in the faith?

There is something profound about how men can Name, and it means something?

In this episode we explore this God-given gift to men, within the headship of the marriage - and what responsibility that creates for each man.

We live in a crazy world right now where there's a lot of darkness. Between pandemic, election drama, riots, etc. there's good reason to be skeptical and negative.

But it doesn't help you to be so!

Join me in this episode to discuss how embracing a spirit of gratitude can transform your life even in the most difficult of moments. It can give meaning and lead to courage and love.

The alternative is to simply agree with the devil, that everything is bad. Who wants to be on his team though?

Sometimes we are blessed with an awesome boss...And sometimes we are not.

So what do you do when you have a Bad Boss? It's time to make a plan, and get busy doing it.

Join me in this episode to discuss practical ways to find improvement if you have a Bad Boss.

Adam, dude....

Ever since the apple fell, guys have been workin' hard. But what does it mean to work? Why is it important, and how do we find the job that is right for us?

In this episode I offer some philosophical and some practical advice for how to determine the right job for you; a job that offers both money and meaning.

"What's your story?"

It's undeniable - we live in a scientific mindset world. And it works...right? Well, for some things yes. If you need to get a rocket to the moon, absolutely. If you need to understand why love is fickle and sometimes hurts...not so much.

In this episode we explore the other half of reality, that of the story, or the narrative events. It's not about measurements in feet, pounds, or degrees, but is instead about what has real meaning in our lives.

Join me to find out more.

I just got back from one of my favorite camping trips of the year.

11 dads.

Almost 40 kids.

Hot sun. Cold nights. Mosquitos. Lakes. Shooting. Eating. Drinking.

But, in case you missed out, I've distilled 5 powerful lessons I learned from this trip. Can't wait to share.
