230 | Resilience, Servanthood & Showing Up For Others (Jason Vallotton REPLAY)
“Servanthood is the way to the top. You will never outgrow serving…the more you have the more you’re required to give.”
227 | Intentional Fatherhood & Creating the Primal Path (Jon Tyson REPLAY)
“I wanted him in this liminal space. My goal was to irreparably break his heart for the poor of the world so he’d never just be a spoiled, complacent American ever – He’d always be haunted, because those years are so formative… I just wanted to get in there, God’s heart for the poor.”
226 | Dads Who Dare To Dream (Banning Liebscher REPLAY)
“When I stop dreaming, when I stop allowing my heart to really dream about things that apart from God are impossible, I not longer kind of lean in, I begin to lean back. I don’t engage, I disengage. And I would say the greatest thing in the world you could do for your kids is to be a dreamer that’s pursuing what God has in your life.”
224 | Slowing Down & Recovering Your Heart (John Eldredge REPLAY)
“Human beings were not meant to live in isolation and we weren’t meant to live in a constant unknown. Learning to let it go (benevolent detachment)… is step one.”
221 | The Love of a Father (Pierre du Plessis REPLAY)
You can’t take out a pair of pliers and change wires and go, there you go, I told you, this is how we can fix you. We’ve got to cultivate what we want, and I think part of us as people looking back at our lives, I think if we don’t get over ourselves early enough, then we take up all the energy to fix ourselves and we ignore to sow what we want in our children. It’s amazing when the kid starts drifting, and you no longer have the reach and control you think you have.
219 | Up Daddy, Spiritual Fatherhood & Stepping Out in Faith (Dick Foth PART2)
"the best way that I can be a strong father is to be the the most profound loving husband I can be... Children need to know to the degree that they're able that those two people. Love each other deeply"
207 | Stop Worrying & Start 2022 with Worship (Jeff Zaugg)
I pray that we would start the year 2022 with a posture of worship versus a posture of worry, a posture of trusting God versus a posture of struggle and trying to do it on her own. A posture of God's bigness. He is so much bigger and we need to keep that perspective of he knows best. His ways are bigger and wider and deeper and strong. Guys, we have a limited perspective. Let's choose to worship versus worry.
