This could potentiall be a touchy subject for some of you. I don't claim to have all the answers and I'm fully aware that there are aspects to this entire situtation that I'll never fully comprehend. That being said, here's my take on the current situation with protesting, rioting and looting. Feel free to disagree. My approach is gospel centered and what I hope to be a Scripture-backed approach.

What do your mornings look like? Do they consist of you hitting the snooze button repeatedly until the very last minute? Is your morning a mad dash to get ready for work and get out the door only to be a few minutes late? How about your weekends? Do you sleep in until the kids drag you out of bed and then waste the rest of the day away? I'll tell you one the very best things I've ever begun is a well-defined morning routine. Men that I know that are really crushing it in life have an established morning routine that involves several key components. In this episode I share with you a strategy for establishing and maintaining a healthy morning routine that will set you up for more productive days so that you can be a better steward of the time that God has given you and have a bigger impact on those around you.

These days there is much confusion over what a real man is, what masculinity means, and all that true manhood entails. Many men grow up unfathered and untethered. Author and speaker Stephen Mansfield joins us today to talk about noble manhood and what it takes to become the man you were created to be. We discuss his new book Men on Fire and dive deep into the subject of what a man on fire is.

Towards the end of Hebrews chapter 12 the divide between what can be shaken and what cannot is defined. Men, we are in a time of shaking. I don't know all of the implications and God's plans for what's going on. One thing I do know is that the current situation is unmasking the true nature of things. What can be shaken and crumbled is being crumbled and shaken. What cannot, is remains stable and true. The question is, what is the content of your faith? Is it placed in that which is able to be shaken, or that which is unshakable. In this episode I talk extensively about the unshakable. I hope and pray it brings you not only joy, but confidence in the One Who is unshakable.  Be sure to subscribe to the podcast and share it with ONE other man you know that needs to hear it.

Why is there such a gender gap in the western church today? If you look in the Bible, particularly in the Gospels and the book of Acts you see tons of men involved with the church. Men preaching the gospel. Men risking their lives. Men dying martyr's deaths. Yet, why, when we look at the average church today do we see more women than men? Why do we see mostly women involved with doing the work in churches? Why are so many of the ministries of the church targeting women? David Murrow, author of Why Men Hate Going to Church, and I sit down and talk about these issues, why they exist, and most importantly what to do about it. Additionally, we talk about his new book that he’s been working on that takes a deep look at our addiction to screens.

Men, what if the way we do family life today, isn’t exactly what God had in mind for the family? What if there’s more to it than we’ve been thinking? What if there’s a better way? Prepare to hear ideas you've never considered. We have Jeremy Pryor with us today to discuss his latest book Family revision. This ancient vision is new again and adopting it today will take a complete family revision. But few are able to locate the root of the problem. Our conversation offers a surprising perspective. Maybe the way forward for the family can be found in the past. The Bible provides a lost family blueprint that is almost entirely unknown by modern Christians. Jeremy shows us the grand picture of this blueprint and then gives us a few practical steps to get us started on this new, old way of doing family.

Most people don't understand real, true masculinity and what it takes to be a real man Culture and society have given us false definitions of manhood. Some grotesque, some humorous, some blatantly inappropriate. But the reality is that it's not some kind of mystical, complex and complicated definition. It's actually quite simple and straightforward. Ken Harrison, Chairman and CEO of promise keepers joins us today. We talk about his story, how he came to Promise Keepers, and his new book Rise of the Servant Kings.

Every man knows he needs to be purposeful and intentional in his marriage if he's going to have a shot at creating a marriage where his wife thrives, God is honored, and the kids are secure. Recently I hosted a 7 Day Marriage Challenge just for Men. The results for the men who completed the challenges each day were phenomenal.  In this episode I share with you the exact process that I led these guys through to build better marriages, strengthen their relationships, and grow closer to their wives.  While 7 days may seem like a relatively short time to have great results, we laid down a simple system of habits and routines for leading well in your marriage. If these habits and routines are followed consistently, then over time you will build an amazing marriage.

Many men want to be more productive in life and more focused on what's truly important to them. Without the right systems in place you're just shooting in the dark, spinning your wheels and not moving forward. Often, life feels out of balance and you're not investing in the areas that are important to you. Scott Maderer of Inspired Stewardship joins us today to talk about balancing your career, your family, and your dream.

     Every man knows that he ought to be a wise steward of his finances and that making investments is a critical part of that stewardship. While we're often concerned with the rate of return on our investments, another equally important, but not often asked question is:         Do your investments align with the Biblical values you hold dearly to?     Many times we don't give much thought to the ethical and moral practices of the companies that we're invested in. When you invest in a company, you're directly supporting everything they do, stand for, and promote.     The truth is that many of the companies you invest in are actually not in alignment with Biblical values. This creates a predicament for well meaning Christians. On one hand we're told to be wise stewards of our money and leave an inheritance for our children's children. But on the other hand, we're told to have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness.     So what are we to do? Stop investing? Invest against our conscience? The good news is that these aren't our only two options.     Fortunately, Matt Holt joins us today to discuss this important and very relevant issue of Biblically Responsible Investing.      Get the show notes and resources at https://dadhackers.us/089-2

Pride is a serious problem because it prevents us from being honest about ourselves and seeing our other character flaws. Therefore we remain in these same flaws that everyone else sees and never make progress forward.       In this episode I go over 4 mistakes men make and how to overcome them.      If we're going to become more of who God has designed us to be then we must swallow our pride and be willing to take an honest look at ourselves.      Get the show notes and resources at https://dadhackers.us/088

     One of the struggles many men have is in finding their purpose in life. The problem is that many times we get things out of order.

Time and time again I have guys saying that they struggle with time management, or being able to balance family life with all the commitments of life. The key to gaining control over these and other areas of life boils down to self-discipline.      Self-discipline is essentially making yourself do the things you know you need to do even if you don’t feel like doing them. And that’s where the challenge comes in. It’s relatively easy to not do something, or to rationalize, or procrastinate, or to justify. While these may seem like good choices in the short run, they result in a life filled with urgency, emergencies, and crises.      In our interview today founder of  A New Kind of Man, Chad Zueck and I dive deep into the weeds of developing self-discipline and explore the 4 areas of life that you need to consider when evaluating your discipline growth.      Show notes and resources at https:dadhackers.us/082-2

Men, there are many things we can pursue in life. As men of God we must be careful how we spend the limited number of finite days we have on this earth to do God's will.

In this episode I go over the 7 Pillars of Purpose every man needs to be aware of and special points of consideration for each of them as well as multiple examples.
