Mike Merrill grew up in a very large family as one of 13 children. When Mike's father passed away from a heart attack at the age of 45 when he was only 13 years old it forced him and his other 8 siblings that were still at home to really step up and do extra things to help their mother keep things afloat at the Merrill household. This helped the family hold onto their faith and values and also develop strength and character that can only come through hardship and struggle. These and other challenging experiences would shape what would become most important to Mike and how he would work to overcome any obstacle that came his way. Mike used these life lessons to inspire him to take control of his own life and become a young entrepreneur and business leader in his early twenties and he has continued in that path through different business ventures into today. Mike has always had a great passion for living an active lifestyle and enjoying hunting, fishing, hiking, and anything else that is outdoors. Mike has a special love for bow hunting and archery and enjoys pursuing big game animals wherever he can throughout the Mountain West. He has been married to his high-school sweetheart, Jennifer for 28 years and has four children and one grandson with another grand-baby on the way! Mike loves spending time with his family and traveling to new places together to experience and learn new things about other people and places! > > > MEN ARE FORGED forges men into leaders.

I am answering three questions today. QUESTION 1: "My boss is a micromanager. It's pretty overwhelming most of the time. I want to say something, but I'm afraid what will happen if I do. But I'm also afraid if I don't say anything, then I won't last much longer at this job. Something has to change, but I'm not sure what to do. Any thoughts would help." QUESTION 2 : "I'm crazy about my girlfriend. I think I want to marry her, but I'm not sure. I think moving in together before we get married might help me decide. What do you think I should do?" QUESTION 3: "I like my job, my boss, and the people I work with. I'm married with a kid on the way, I go to a good church and have good community. But something feels missing. And I've checked all the boxes that I thought I was supposed to have. And I think I should be happier. But how do I find fulfillment when I haven't found it yet?"

But single experiences with sex and porn and masturbation and fantasy are going to potentially wreck your opportunity to have good connected, safe, trusting, intimate sex with your spouse whenever that happens. And if you use a lot of porn, by the way, you might have trouble getting an erection on your honeymoon. Not to put too sharp of pulling on it."

This is one of the hardest things for me is to just do it. Partly because of my personality not liking too much drastic change, but mostly my limiting beliefs and mindsets. > Define Your Life's Purpose: https://menareforged.com/defineyourpurpose > Watch Shorts and Full Interviews: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjklTnT2LOd_06VLlth3DSg > Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CartMorris3 > Watch 1 min Reels: https://www.instagram.com/menareforged/ “You're forged by doing something. You're forged by actually taking responsibility. And if you find yourself passionate about something, just do it…it's a whole lot easier to steer a moving vessel. If it's sitting still, it's very hard to change the direction of that thing, once it's moving. Just get doing something.” Takeaway Questions from the interview: What big moments in your life do you need to pay more attention to? What could you take action with today?

Chad M. Mansbridge is a pastor, author, conference speaker and one of Australia's most dynamic Bible teachers—known for his ability to communicate profound and complex truth with clarity, simplicity and a whole lot of fun! At just 23 years of age, Chad and his wife (Jaye) planted and pioneered Bayside Church International; a thriving local church located in Victor Harbor, on the south coast of South Australia, where they are currently serving their twentieth year of pastoral ministry. Chad's latest book—You Can Handle the Truth—deals with the complex concern of how Christians should read, understand, and apply the Scriptures. Its conversational tone, innovative layout and original artwork makes it a standout in the hermeneutics space, with the goal of making the intimidating task of biblical interpretation as approachable as possible for the everyday believer. Endorsements for this project testify to its broad Christian appeal—with praise from Pentecostals and Presbyterians, professors and pastors, teen bloggers and bestselling authors, college presidents, prominent publishers, and even Bible translators—the book has recently been declared the GOLD Medallion winner in the Bible Study category for the 2022 Illumination Book Awards.

Failure reveals 2 things: How we see ourselves and what poor mindsets are holding us back. In failure, disappointment, and/or unmet expectations, we have to have identity above our actions and not dependent on them. Also, we have to develop mindsets that aren't dependent on the results but overcome them. Listen to my recap of Episode 89 with Eric Nickoli of BraveCo to find more on how failure is your key to success. For more of MEN ARE FORGED, go to...
