Tim has been married for 24 years and has 2 children. Tim is debt free and shares some of his secrets to his success on this episode! 

Most of my childhood was spent without a permanent father figure. I never learned how to work on my car. I never had the chance to roughhouse with my dad. I didn’t even learn how to throw a baseball correctly until I was a freshman in high school.

Looking back on it now, I wonder how my life would have been different if I had a permanent male influence in my life. What would the world look like if there were more men in it? I’m not talking about males. I’m talking about MEN (there isa difference).

Now that I have sons, I’m committed to being the dad that I never had. We do all kinds of great things together – sports (I coach ALL their teams), build tree houses, and roughhouse ’til we’re exhausted.

As I talk with other men, I can see that there is a huge need for learning how to be a better father. But I’ve also seen a need for strong and honorable men outside of the home.

Guys, we’re losing the meaning of manhood. We’ve gone away from being strong, rugged, independent, and tough to a collection of wimpy, dependent, whiners. Something has got to be done!

And that is why I started Order of Man. We’re going to take back what it means to be a man. We’re going to learn together from the best men the world has to offer. And we’re going to return to our roots of masculinity.

I am not an expert. I am learning. And, the only thing that qualifies me to do this work is that I have a passion for self-improvement. My goal is to take my shortcomings in life and make them my strengths.

I didn’t get to learn from great men most of my young life but I figure it’s never too late to start. Join me and let’s become better men together.

Joe is a Youth Pastor, Camp speaker, Community Youth leader and has written three books. Joe started a publishing company in 2011 to help others get published (19 titles at present).   Joe's move from the West Coast to Michigan happened in Spring of 2013. He left family and friends and a great church in Salem, to take an exciting position in Michigan where he had no contacts prior to his move. That job ended in catastrophic fashion, leaving him jobless and homeless in Michigan. The 2.5 years after that collapse (January 2015) were some of the toughest of their lives, navigating another family move, trying to navigate God’s will for their lives, living with massive financial uncertainty, and dealing with the sense of “failure” as a man/provider etc…   Joe and his wife teach couples classes/retreats with other couples, especially engaging the topic of sexual intimacy in marriage.   One of the hardest parts of navigating dramatic life change, is allowing your kids to experience the change (not shielding them from the hurt), as it’s part of their spiritual journey, too.   Joe blogs regularly at www.overboardminsitries.com/overboard-blog  

MEET DAVID MURROW

It's Sunday morning. Where are the men? Not in church. The average congregation in North America draws an adult crowd that's more than 60% female. Why do men and boys avoid church? And why do churchgoing men seem so passive and bored?

David Murrow has dedicated his life to answering these questions. He's the author of the best-selling book Why Men Hate Going to Church, with more than 150,000 copies in print in 12 languages. He's helped thousands of churches around the world attract, retain and empower men.

Murrow is an entertaining speaker who handles this taboo subject with humor and grace. He's a television producer and writer by trade, and brings strong visual content to his presentation. You'll never see church the same way again.

Murrow lives with his wife of 33 years, Gina Medaris Murrow, in the bustling metropolis of Chugiak, Alaska.
