Next Peak Podcast

Friendships, Community & Mentors with Bud Lamb


Listen Later

Welcome to Season 3 of the Next Peak Podcast, where we help you redefine what success looks like for you and share strategies, tools, and stories to help you climb your next peak. 

Today Bud Lamb joins Dr. Parker Houston to talk about why friendship, community, and mentors are needed for men in order to thrive. Bud Lamb has been an ordained pastor for almost 20 years. He is an author, a writer, a long-distance runner, and he mentors men and encourages younger pastors. He works one-on-one and with groups over the phone or video conferencing across the United States to help men discover or recover their spiritual passion, envisioning a plan for their lives to help them overcome current circumstances and move forward in positive ways. His goal is to help them become better men, husbands, spiritual leaders, and influencers of their culture. What drives Bud’s passion and purpose is to know and enjoy God, to love as Jesus does, and to inspire others to do the same. Some of the discussion centers on:

  • Reconciling relationships between fathers and sons
  • Building a healthy community of men
  • How loneliness is destroying us
  • Why men retreat into work as a source of identity

How to build a healthy community:

  1. If you don’t have an honest friendship, practice being an honest friend
  2. Don’t wait, take initiative
  3. If you never ask the answer is always no
  4. Go to church, a 12 step meeting, join a runners club 
  5. Dial back your hours at the office
  6. If you don’t make the space for friendship, it can’t grow
