Thee Uncommon Podcast

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) can be defined as the ability to use emotions effectively … for relating to people, sustaining drive, and making optimal decisions. 

EQ shows up in our ability to feel, label and understand & process our emotions in a healthy way. 

In this edition of our LIVE Fraternity call, we unpack why EQ is an important skill, how we can elevate our EQ, and the positive impacts it will have on our relationships and life as a whole. 

Check out the in love while parenting app, as well as the Human Improvement Project for all their video resources on EQ.

For many people, having a coach to come along side them is a crucial element of tapping into their potential. 

In this episode, Phillip & Ryan speak with RJ Sumrall of Sumrall Coaching, an organization seeking to help educators and coaches Connect, Motivate, and Mobilize their students and athletes in their pursuit of greatness! RJ has a background in collegiate sports, and is the Area Director Mid-Iowa for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). 

RJ shares about his background as a young athlete, in need of a coach who saw him as more than just another jock. Along his journey he has been blessed to have had several adults see his potential and speak life into his dreams. 

He also shares his definition of greatness - not only as an athlete and coach, but as a man, husband, father and friend. Ultimately he points to his relationship with Jesus Christ as his source of purpose in all his pursuits. 

He also shares how he and his wife work together as teammates to craft and pursue their united vision in their marriage and family as they raise their four children. 

Lastly, RJ shares how he practices specific disciplines to ensure that he's staying physically, mentally & emotionally healthy as he navigates his busy schedule and responsibilities. 

 You can learn more about RJ and the work he's doing at Sumrall Coaching.

Tony Robins famously said that,  The quality of your life is a direct reflection of the quality of questions you are asking yourself

We can define "discipleship" as making followers Jesus. 

So a definition of family discipleship might be, creating intentional time built into the rhythms of the family’s life for the purpose of thinking about, talking about and living out the gospel. 

As men - husbands and fathers - what is our role in family discipleship? Who's primarily responsible for discipling our kids? 

Or, are we as fathers primarily responsible for discipling our kids? And if so, what does it look like for us to create a family discipleship plan? As always, we need to look to God's word for clarity and wisdom: 

Make no mistake: this is NOT an easy calling. But it is a worthwhile calling; and one we can perform faithfully by God's grace! 

In this part 1 episode we talk about family discipleship, the challenges and merits, and tangible ways we can start to implement a plan to ensure consistency.

We believe in the power of visualization: imagining and picturing your desired outcome as a means of achieving your greatest goals. And what better goal than to live a life of purpose and impact? 

In this episode, Phil & Ryan discuss the power of writing your own eulogy, or the story that will be shared about you at your funeral. While funerals are somber occasions, this is not intended to be a morbid exercise; but rather an opportunity to reflect on the life you want to create, and the person you want to become. 

It's a powerful question to consider: "What will my loved ones say about me when I'm gone?" What do I want them to say?" And what kind person do I want them to remember? 

We share our own eulogies, and encourage you to step up to the plate and write your own eulogy. 

You can download our PDF that walks you through writing your own eulogy here: file:///Users/Ryan/Downloads/write_your_eulogy_fillable%20(1).pdf

How do we rightly think about submission in our marriage? What does it practically look like for us to love and lead our wives "as Christ loved the church," and to practice servant leadership? 

That's what we unpack on this community call. We look at some of the challenges we face as husbands to lead our wives in our faith, as well as practical action we can take to fulfill this calling. 

No matter where you're at in this journey, know that God has equipped you with all the knowledge and ability to be obedient in this area. Even prioritizing consistent prayer with your wife can go a long way in creating spiritual unity and intimacy in your marriage.

What's the difference between the two? Are there good & bad qualities of both? 

In this episode, Phil and Ryan reflect on the merits and pitfalls of lone wolf mentality, and discuss how you can maintain your sense of creativity and individuality within the context of a tribe or community. 

As people striving to walk our own Uncommon path, we don't want to forsake the unique traits that make us who we are, but we also don't want to allow our sense of individuality to ostracize us from others and hinder our leadership. 

Ultimately if you are a part of a community in which you are accountable and encouraged to grow as a person, your individuality can be celebrated as an asset that adds value to the whole. 

And if you are searching for a community of men where you can build relationships, learn skills, achieve worthwhile goals, and have a ton of fun in the process, we would love for you to consider joining Thee Uncommon Fraternity! You can learn more at https://www.theeuncommon.com/
