One of the most important issues of our time is the mental health of our kids. The statistics are not encouraging right now, as rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide continue to rise. This is not something that can be ignored or that we can just hope will change on its own. And this is something that we, all of us, need to talk about and be aware of. Our guest today has years of experience in working with kids, working with teens, and creating positive changes in their lives.

John Williams wasn’t raised under the best circumstances; he never met his biological father and from a young age he often had to take care of himself. Despite that, he has become an unshakable visionary who sees the world as it could be. He teaches students that they are more than their circumstances, and that they have what it takes to achieve their dreams. He does this by sharing his story and equipping them with the tools to face whatever life may throw at them. This is why he created Life That Counts, a nonprofit with the mission of helping students make better decisions for more healthy outcomes. 

Questions Answered:

• What is mental health?
• What is your story from a child to where you are now?
• How do we work through the challenge of such an increase in teen suicide?
• In what ways has the COVID response impacted our kids?
• How is cyber bullying impacting teens today?
• Who are the kids that you look to as leaders in the work that you do?
• How can we help our kids to make better decisions?
• What are the ways we can begin talking about mental health issues with our own children?
• Can you explain what you do with Life That Counts?

While our first instinct may be to run in the opposite direction of an oncoming storm, we can learn from the buffalo about going head first into the storm instead. When we face the storms, we begin to understand more about ourselves, we change in our ability to lead our families, and we become more capable as husbands and as fathers. Our guest today has great insight into just why and how we can face the storms of life.

Tim would like to offer the gift of coaching to all the listeners. To receive this gift, follow Tim on Instagram or Facebook and send him a message that you heard him on this show. 

Questions Answered:

• Why the buffalo?
• How do people turn would be victories into defeats?

• How does a man who faces the storms impact his family?

Recovery from everything is possible with God. Our guest today has an amazing story. Sexual abuse at a young age, living on his own by sixteen, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, war in the middle east, PTSD, arrested and in jail, a construction accident that cost him his eye, an addiction to painkillers, and now a full heart serving and loving other people.

And within Celebrate Recovery, he is part of a motorcycle group called Broken Chains. Patch is married, and is a father of four.

• What moment was finally your wake-up call?
• Why did you say, “Thank you, God.” When you were arrested?
• What was your journey from jail to recovery?

Nobody succeeds to their full potential on their own. Every one of us needs a group of people around us who shares our core values, and who wants to see us rise to the top.

Aaron is the author of View From The Top, a must-read to fully understand how to live a life of success and significance. Also, he is the founder of The Mastermind Playbook an incredible resource for starting, running, and scaling masterminds. 

Questions Answered:

• What is the importance of having shared core values within members of a group?
• How do you respond to a man who thinks transparency and vulnerability is weakness?
• Why is it important that men invest their time, money, and energy in a mastermind group?
• Why are so many men happy to spend money on hobbies and toys but reluctant to spend money on their own personal development?
• What does it mean for a man to live life without a mask?
• How do you explain the disconnect between a man spending so much time at work while saying that what matters most is his family?

The gospel is a mystery to many. Some men make it overly complex, but it doesn’t need to be. The gospel message can be quite simple. Other men find no daily application from the gospel, but that’s missing the point in a big way. In our show today, you’ll hear a great discussion about the gospel, walking in the simplicity of the gospel, and how the gospel message changes our daily walk as Christian men.

My guest for this episode is Joe Bailey. Joe is a follower of Jesus, he is married and the father of five kids. He has a BA in Theology from Life Seminary and is the leader of the Paladin Project. He also is a working musician and a two-time IBO World Champion in Recurve and Longbow. He has tons of wisdom and I’m grateful to be sharing this conversation with you. 

Questions Answered:

• What is, and what isn’t, the gospel?
• How should the gospel change how we live our lives?
• How does a regular guy, with no theology degree, share the gospel?
• What does it mean that our power is in our story?
• Can I gain or lose God’s love based on my own performance?
• What does it mean that the American church isn’t yet spiritually well developed?
• Is there a neutral ground in a spiritual battle?
• Where has the gospel message been devalued for men?
• What is one small step for a man in a dark place to start walking out of that darkness?
• Do men today know how to suffer well?
• What’s the difference between a cultural belief and a saving belief?

In our busy lives, it can be too easy to forget that we are called to put God first. When we forget this, we can quickly get off track, and we can fall into common traps – like becoming workaholics. But, when we remember to put God first, and once we know who we truly are, we can experience enormous growth in our lives, in our marriages, and in our parenting.

Jeff Forrester is the author of Unleashed Potential: Simple Steps to be the Best Version of Yourself, and he currently lives in Florida with his wife Tammy of 15 years, along with their son and daughter. He is a devoted Christian who is focused on helping his family, friends, and others get the most out of their lives. He has been on a path for the last 3 years to building a real relationship with Christ through reading his Bible and surrounding himself with other Christian men.
 

Questions Answered:

• How does it help a man for him to have a personal mission statement?
• In what ways does a mission statement practically change a man’s life?
• What is the meaning of Galatians 2:20 for you?
• How does putting God first change your life?
• What is your story of having to step in and lead your family at a young age after your father passed away?

• Why is it important for a man to understand who he is?

What is Biblical masculinity? What is a man? Why does the world need men who are following the example Jesus set of Biblical masculinity? These are core questions and core concepts for Christian men to think about and implement in their lives, yet not often clearly talked about. My guest today, Jeff Hammer, author of the book Man Up: The Quest for Masculinity, has direct answers to these important questions and lots more in this great conversation.

Jeff Hemmer is the husband of (in his opinion) the most wonderful woman in the world, the father to the five most delightful children he’s ever met, the pastor of Bethany Evangelical Lutheran Church in Fairview Heights, Illinois, a wannabe farmer, maker of some things, fixer of some other things, grower of beards, and general curmudgeon. His big truck is probably a sign of his insecurity.

Questions Answered:

• What is a man?
• What does it mean to be masculine for the good of others?
• How does a boy become a man?
• Who are examples, from the Bible, of men who displayed characteristics of Biblical masculinity?
• How are we infected with what we have inherited as sons of Adam?
• What’s different (and what’s the same) about Jesus as a man, when compared to all other men?
• Why does the world need more men who are trying to follow the example Jesus set of Biblical masculinity?
• How does sacrifice relate to a masculine man?
• What force, in and out of the church, is preventing men from following Biblical masculinity?
• What does the Bible mean when it says that wives are to submit to their husbands?
• Why are there separate directives to love and to respect given separately to men and women?
• Is Biblical masculinity an impossible standard for men?
