Tim Wright, expert and best-selling author about this topic, joins me to set the record straight about how rites of passage, whether faith-based or secular, can greatly benefit boys as they develop into men. If you have sons or grandsons, you don’t want to miss this episode!

In this episode, I unpack Proverbs 22:6 and the impact its message can have on your role as a dad, the relationship you have with your kids, and your ability to shine a light on their God-given purpose in life.

In today's episode, I discuss three attributes I look for in individuals before welcoming them into my inner circle—those in whom I trust and confide in the most. And these attributes can be used as a measuring stick to evaluate the relationships in your life. Have you surrounded yourself with friends who uplift you or hold you back? It's a question worth asking.

My guest today is Adam Weber, lead pastor of Embrace Church, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota; author of Talking With God: What to Say When You Don’t Know How to Pray, as well as the host of the podcast, The Conversation.

Today, Adam and I chat about the concept of “running the race” (Hebrews 12:1) from the perspective of being a husband and father. When we ask ourselves if we are running the race well, that should cause us to take stock of our priorities, our work ethic, how we treat people, and to what degree we are living out our faith in front of our family. These are a few of the metrics we can use to determine if we are running the race well and it’s a sampling of what Adam and I discuss in this episode. 

If you are struggling and looking for hope and encouragement in this race, as well as some practical tips on how to finish strong, then this episode is for you.
