We wrestle with cognitive dissonance, the quiet lies that let us call ourselves good while doing harm. We push into faith, accountability, fatherhood, influence, forgiveness, and how to raise boys who can carry a heavy world

• slavery analogy used to explain cheating and self-deception
• clear definition of cognitive dissonance and why it sticks
• gratitude practice and faith after the blessing arrives
• Chicago pride and media narratives balanced with responsibility
• influence of circles and the ripple effect of one choice
• voicemail on caring for an estranged, ill father and conscience-led action
• forgiveness with boundaries and peace you can live with
• masculinity myths, validation from men, and truth about “player” stress
• losing good partners, therapy, and better communication
• boy moms preparing sons through standards, discipline, and competence
• happiness as a decision anchored in service and growth

Keep God first, man. Keep God first.
