SPECIAL FATHER'S DAY EPISODE: Dads, never doubt the critical role you play in your home or your children's lives.

The epidemic of fatherlessness has been building for decades and is now sweeping the globe. Its impact is being felt around the world—specifically with boys.

To help explain this, my guest today is, Dr. Warren Farrell, author of the bombshell book titled "The Boy Crisis." 

In this book, Dr. Farrell points out that in 70 of the world's largest developed nations, boys have fallen behind girls. And he calls attention to two categories of boys that are now emerging in today's psychological literature: dad-deprived boys and dad-enriched boys. 

The data and research provided by Farrell in this episode simply underscore the importance of fathers in today's society, and he provides a few examples of how fatherlessness can (and has) led to very tragic circumstances.

What You'll Hear:

Dr. Farrell has authored numerous works which have been published in over 50 countries, and 15 languages, including two award-winning international best-sellers titled, "Why Men Are the Way They Are" and "The Myth of Male Power."

Farrell has been chosen by the Financial Times as one of the world's top 100 thought leaders. He's taught at the university level in five disciplines, and appeared on more than 1,000 TV and radio shows, from Oprah to Larry King Live. He's also been featured repeatedly in Forbes, The New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal.

Video games are a way of life. In fact, there are more than two billion gamers in the world, including 150 million in the United States. Studies show that 3–4% of these gamers struggle with video game addiction. Those are epidemic numbers. And the World Health Organization recently declared video game addiction as a legitimate mental health disorder. 

Because video games aren’t going anywhere, we all need to better educate ourselves about the risks involved so we can help our kids develop a healthy relationship with games and technology as a whole.

In this episode, I talk with Cam Adair. He is an international speaker and leading expert on video game addiction. Cam is the founder of Game Quitters, the world’s largest support community for video game addiction. His work has been published in Psychiatry Research (a peer-reviewed medical journal on psychiatry), he has been featured in two TEDx talks as well as NPR, BBC, Forbes, ABC 20/20, CNN, VICE, and Bloomberg, among many others.

In this episode I talk with founder of Man Flow Yoga, Dean Pohlman. Dean is a former athlete turned online yoga instructor.

You might be thinking, “what does yoga have to do with being a dad?” Our loved ones deserve the best version of “us” that we can give them. Being a physically fit dad is an essential component in reaching our full potential as a father, and this episode is loaded with helpful information to get men pointed down a path of fitness. And if you already consider yourself to be fit, there’s info here for you, too.

During our talk we try and dispel some common misconceptions guys have about yoga. Other points of interest include:

Have you ever read the Bible? For many men, reading the Bible is a challenge. With all of the pressures and outside commitments of being a dad, it's easy to feel like we don't have time to read, let alone read the Bible. And there’s a lot of misconceptions about the Bible—what it is, what it isn’t, its overarching structure and message, so a lot of guys are intimidated by the book. 

However, many men realize it’s something they should do, so when they do try to make time to read the Bible, they attempt to read it cover-to-cover. That's just too big of a goal when you're just starting. 

As dads and spiritual leaders of the home, it’s critical that we understand God’s Word so we can apply it to our daily lives and effectively teach our kids about it. But we obviously can’t do that if we’re not reading and studying it regularly. 

My guest today is on a mission to help all of us bridge that gap. His name is Matt Whitman. Matt is a pastor at Free Church in Lander, WY as well as the creator of the YouTube channel The Ten Minute Bible Hour. 

Our conversation touched on a variety of topics including:

And you won’t want to miss Matt’s interpretation of what it means to leave an inspired legacy. He had a great response! 

You can find Matt at The Minute Bible Hour (http://thetmbh.com). 

Also, check out No Dumb Questions (nodumbquestions.fm), a podcast Matt co-hosts with his friend, Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day (http://www.smartereveryday.com/). 

And Matt’s sermons from Free Church are available (for free) at https://www.landerefree.org/sermons/

The next episode will be released Monday, April 8. 

This episode features Tamien Dysart. He is a friend of mine, as well as a husband and father to three beautiful girls. 

Tamien and I share a common past in the fact that we both became fathers at a very early age. In this episode, we talk about what it was like for him to experience fatherhood at a young age and what measures he took to persevere beyond these circumstances. 

This episode is critical for anyone who may be experiencing fatherhood sooner than planned, or anyone who is struggling to find their way as a dad. We outline the importance of who we surround ourselves with, what we allow to have our attention, and how we choose to expend our energy. 

Other key points to listen for include: 

Tamien is a co-founder of Think3D Solutions, which develops and implements strategies and programs to build and sustain high performing cultures in the workplace. You can learn more about Tamien and his company at letsthink3d.com.
