There are rumblings and mumblings out on the street, and we're going to get to the bottom of it all. Mark Parrett and Steven Manuel talk through the headline grabbers, grabbing helpful insights and wisdom from all the goo. Much of the hype should be ignored, they say (which is a normal maxim for them). The Bible tells us to keep level heads, even when banks are failing, cryptocurrency's value is indeterminate, and the FED is fighting inflation with everything they've got.

Steven Manuel takes time to answer a listener's email about why fathering feels more like drudgery and less like delight. There could be several factors at play including: Are you and your wife on the same page? Do you enjoy your children? (i.e., are you training and disciplining them?) Do you have a family vision? And do you see fathering as part and parcel with your discipleship? Steven comments on being the first in a family to follow the LORD- that's what a patriarch is! Steven also takes his mic on the road (literally) and gets the input from Michael, a happy father of 8 in this honest episode. And, for YT viewers: a visit to the treehouse!
