In the. depths of a heavy challenge has someone ever told you "Just have faith!" and the words rather than comfort, ring hollow, or even come across as unintendly harsh?

I share a few thoughts that I hope will help you walk with greater tenderness and love as you try to support a loved one. There is a time to acknowledge pain and loss, a time to extend love, and a time to know when to encourage faith. Wisdom is knowing the difference.

Have a great day!

This week I sit down with my oldest son, Devon, to talk about the back story of his new song, "A Love Letter To My Suicidal Friends"

We discuss our own personal experiences with loved ones and friends who struggle with feeling like they don't belong and don't want to stay in this world. Let's be honest life can be REALLY tough sometimes and put your heart and mind in a very sad and lonely place.

We recognize this is a very personal and emotional issue and are trying to bring an open, loving, caring, and empathetic discussion that will help you and a loved one walk through a dark season of your life.

Love Jody and Devon

Hey guys,

Last week I went and saw the movie Sound of Freedom. It is a powerful and compelling origin story of Tim Ballard and his work rescuing children from the sex trade. In the very beginning of the movie, it shows how he is working to earn the trust of a pedophile to get more information so that he can rescue a kid. As I watched this interaction, it highlighted that porn was a contributing factor (and overlooked) part of the illegal sex trade.

I know a lot of you men struggle with overcoming your porn addiction and I thought I'd share some insights that maybe will put into perspective and help you ultimately overcome your addiction, I know it's a challenge and talk about this in the spirit of helping us all be men of integrity both in private and in public, and guardians of our heart.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thank you for listening!

Jody

For the past couple of weeks, I've thought about why men struggle in their relationship with their spouse or significant other.  At the beginning of the relationship we're great a love bombing; going out of our way to prove we are the one. But somewhere we lose the pursuit of her heart and wonder why she's nagging and always complaining about you not doing your part.

Perhaps it's time to look in the mirror and look at what you used to do versus now.  Your actions will be very revealing.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers

Jody
