Elliott Morgan is a comedian from Central Florida known for posting hilarious videos on YouTube and is also part of the sketch comedy group, The Valleyfolk. I first saw Elliott perform about 2 years ago and have been following his career ever since. His wit and humor bring light to some of the dark areas of my life such as divorce, religion and finding out who I am as a man. I have him to thank for teaching me how to laugh through some of my life's toughest and most challenging times. Links to all his work can be found below. Thanks, Elliott and Thank YOU for listening!

Bethany McKinney Fox is the author of Disability and the Way of Jesus: Holistic Healing in the Gospel and the Church. She is also the pastor of Beloved Everbody, a community that serves folks with physical and intellectual disabilities, as well as able-bodied folks in Southern California. For Bethany, finding joy means identifying and celebrating and uplifting the gifts of people of all abilities - especially focusing on people with intellectual and developmental disabilities: not only the gifts they have but the gifts they are (just as we all are gifts to one another). Join in as Bethany and I talk through Gender Roles in marriage, partnerships and how you never really marry "the right one." Thanks for coming on the show, Bethany!----more----

Soma Miller is a men's coach and curator of The Essential Man, a resource guiding men through everyday challenges with blog posts, encouraging quotes and writings. He is also the creator of a 90-day "Masculinity Re-Set." This program is helpful for men that feel a need for change and transition in their lives, but are unsure where to begin or how to identify the area that they are seeking to improve. Soma and I had never had a full conversation before this interview and I am so grateful for all of the wisdom and insight he was able to share. I felt so much synergy in our work. I hope you enjoy our talk, thanks for listening in!
