Consulting The MANual

This episode I sit down with my friend Mike Blalock to discuss men and how they handle emotions.  What does the world think of men and their ability to sort through their emotions?  What have things been like for us in the past?  Where in the Bible to we look to for how to handle emotions in a healthy way and who do we NOT want to emulate?  

This episode I talk with evangelist and speaker, Darrin English.  We discuss men as mentors, what to look for in a good mentor/mentee relationship, how to reach out to a mentor, and influences from our own mentors.
