Satsang owns every master he has ever recorded, and building a career independent enough to keep it that way cost him more than any label deal would have paid. Drew came up through an abusive house, psychedelics at thirteen, addiction and sobriety, then spent every dollar he had on a trip to Nepal instead of the reliable car everyone was waiting for. The band took its name from a stranger's handwritten note outside a Kathmandu ashram. This one lives where ownership meets art — the predatory arithmetic of the record business, and his refusal to let AI near the part of being human that music exists for. What he aimed it all at is smaller and harder than a sold-out room: a son who is proud of him, and the kind of life that leaves people lining up for ten more minutes at the end of it.(00:00) AI Songwriting Rant (00:33) Opening Conversation (02:20) Meet Satsang (05:09) Musical Roots and Skater Influence (07:18) Life Changing Nepal Trek (14:11) Spiritual Influences in Lyrics (18:45) Grinding to Breakout Tours (35:05) Creative Process and Industry Beef (43:31) Owning Your Masters / Social Media Pressure (49:15) Never Quit Mindset (52:11) AI Music and Fake Performers (58:37) Service and Spirituality (01:07:11) Streaming Money Myths (01:09:58) Fatherhood and Real SuccessGuest LinksListen to Elohim on SpotifyListen to Elohim on Apple MusicSatsang on InstagramConnect with UsStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem ResetFollow us on InstagramJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch All Episodes

In this episode of Going Ballistic, Ryan sits down with friend Nishan Campbell for a wide-ranging conversation about growing up around firearms, serving as a Marine Corps officer, building businesses, raising children, and learning to carry responsibility well. Nishan shares how hunting and shooting became part of his life at an early age, beginning with family trips, single-shot shotguns, dove fields, and the lessons his father taught him about firearms. Ryan and Nishan compare their early experiences with guns, hunting, competition, and the different paths that eventually led each of them into the firearms industry. The conversation then turns to Nishan's entrepreneurial journey and the creation of Gunfighter Canyon. He explains how an unconventional idea became a shooting experience built largely for tourists and first-time shooters, why understanding the customer matters more than simply selling products, and how removing physical, mental, and emotional barriers can completely change someone's experience with firearms. Ryan and Nishan also discuss the realities of operating a firearms business, building genuine relationships with customers, surviving difficult periods such as the COVID shutdowns, and resisting the temptation to build a business around inventory, ego, or industry stereotypes. Later in the episode, Nishan reflects on September 11, his decision to pursue military service, his career as a Marine officer, and the lasting influence of military leadership and responsibility. The conversation expands into fatherhood, raising capable children, learning from failure, accepting accountability, and trying to pass meaningful lessons to the next generation. This episode is about much more than guns. It is a candid conversation about service, entrepreneurship, friendship, family, and what it means to become someone others can rely upon. Topics Discussed Nishan's upbringing in Arizona Learning to shoot and hunt with his family Single-shot shotguns and early hunting memories Shotgun sports, competition, and firearms culture How Ryan and Nishan first met The origins of Gunfighter Canyon Creating a shooting experience for tourists and first-time shooters Understanding exactly who your customer is Removing physical, mental, and emotional barriers Why customers often make decisions emotionally Building trust instead of merely completing transactions The difference between a gun store and a genuine community Expanding a firearms business without overextending Adapting the business during COVID The realities of firearms regulation and ATF compliance September 11 and Nishan's decision to serve Life and leadership in the Marine Corps Responsibility, discipline, and personal accountability Fatherhood and preparing children for adulthood The lessons Ryan and Nishan hope to pass to their children Friendship, service, and finding purpose through responsibility About Nishan Campbell Nishan Campbell is a Marine Corps officer, entrepreneur, and the co-founder and CEO of Gunfighter Canyon, a group of shooting ranges and firearms retail businesses based in northern Arizona.

What does biblical manhood actually look like—and how do you raise sons who understand it in a culture sending them conflicting messages about what it means to be a man? Pastor and author Jerome Gay Jr. joins Kent and Lawson to talk about raising godly men, emotional maturity, respect, father wounds, and why Jesus—not social media influencers or cultural stereotypes—must be our ultimate model for masculinity. Jerome shares lessons from his new book, How to Speak Man: Discovering the Respect Languages Men Need, including the five "respect languages" of significance, support, sex, silence, and space. He also explains why men need to learn how to acknowledge and communicate their emotions without being controlled by them. They discuss how dads can move from constantly telling their kids what they're against to giving them a compelling vision of what they're for, how to teach sons biblical apologetics in the age of smartphones, and why fathers need to be "compelling, not combative" when engaging both their children and the culture. Jerome also speaks directly to the dad who feels like he has already blown it. Your upbringing, failures, and mistakes may have consequences—but they do not have to permanently define the kind of father you become. In this episode: Raising boys into godly men Biblical masculinity and the example of Jesus Helping sons develop emotional maturity Recovering from an unhealthy relationship with your own father The five respect languages men need Creating safety and communication in marriage Teaching kids apologetics and biblical truth Becoming a compelling, not combative, Christian dad What to do when you feel like you've failed as a father   If you want to lead your family with greater courage, tenderness, wisdom, and purpose, this conversation will give you practical biblical tools to start.   Get Jerome Gay Jr.'s book: How to Speak Man: Discovering the Respect Languages Men Need on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GS47NZ8H   You are not a father on accident.

It's hot in St. Louis. Like, “everybody in the neighborhood has given up on shirts” hot. Lern's porch has gone tarps off, Rizz is worried his shirtless yard work would lower property values, and somehow that leads to the crew comparing how often they pee in their own backyards. Rafe even demonstrates for his dog when necessary. Fatherhood is beautiful.This daily comedy also asks how many different homes everyone has lived in, uncovering everything from Rafe's Craigslist roommate from Barbados to Moon temporarily living in a GMC Jimmy. Then Rafe's attempt to buy a new TV turns into a conspiracy theory that Best Buy may just be ordering everything from Amazon anyway. “In stock” apparently means whatever we want it to mean now.Things get genuinely incredible with a St. Louis story about two-year-old conjoined twin sisters from Ethiopia who were successfully separated during a 25-hour surgery at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. A team of doctors, nurses and specialists spent a year preparing for the procedure, allowing the sisters — who had never been able to look directly at each other — to finally see, hold and snuggle one another face-to-face.The crew also says goodbye to a St. Louis institution as O'Connell's Pub announces plans to close after more than 60 years, before former bartenders Lern and Rafe debate the worst day of the week to work behind the bar. Spoiler: Sunday customers apparently arrive carrying the Sunday Scaries and make them everybody else's problem.Finally, this daily comedy discovers “wellness darties,” the new college trend replacing some traditional daytime partying with Pilates, yoga, running, ice baths, matcha and protein shakes. Lern loves it. Moon has discovered the magic of steam rooms. Rizz is horrified and would apparently prefer college students honor tradition by making terrible decisions while their bodies are still young enough to recover.College kids doing yoga instead of keg stands?

In this episode of Better Call Daddy, host Reena Friedman Watts sits down with Roberto Vella III, a former oil field worker turned SpaceX aerospace technician, to talk career reinvention, military discipline, and fatherhood. Roberto shares how he answered Elon Musk's open call for talent and landed a job at SpaceX, describing the chaotic, high energy experience of interviewing alongside hundreds of other hopefuls. He talks candidly about the pressure of working in the aerospace industry, where every launch carries massive stakes and the margin for error is razor thin. The conversation traces Roberto's path from military paratrooper to aerospace technician, and how his time in the service built the resilience, composure, and work ethic that prepared him for a career at one of the most demanding companies in the world. He recounts witnessing rocket launches and explosions firsthand, the tight camaraderie among people working at the edge of what is possible, and even lighter perks of the job, like SpaceX providing food for employees during long shifts. Roberto also opens up about fatherhood, sharing how becoming a young dad reshaped how he thinks about legacy, purpose, and the values he wants to pass on to his children. He talks about the importance of work ethic, adaptability, and staying curious in a fast changing world, from his unconventional career path to teaching himself photography. Whether you're interested in entrepreneurship, career changes, military to civilian transitions, the space industry, or raising kids with strong values, this episode has something for you.

Send us Fan MailToday's guest is someone I've had the pleasure of knowing for many years, and today I get to learn more about him!  We welcome Soliant CEO Graig Paglieri.Our conversation starts out with a random moment of noticing a laundromat that turns into a surprisingly powerful reminder: our lives can feel heavy, but we're often doing better than we let ourselves remember. That's where we start, with gratitude, perspective, and the real emotions that hit when you're staring down big transitions like becoming an empty nester. We also pause to talk about loss, and how it has a way of snapping us back to what matters most in parenting, marriage, and leadership.From there, Graig and I go deep on the values that shape a man long before he becomes a CEO or a dad. Greg grew up surrounded by teachers, coaches, community service, and the kind of quiet sacrifice you only understand later. We connect those early lessons to his decision to join the Marine Corps and what military leadership teaches about staying calm in chaos, managing stress, and not overreacting when the “fog” rolls in. If you're trying to become a better father, a stronger husband, or a steadier leader at work, those lessons translate fast.We also get practical about work-life balance, time prioritization, and the trap of always trying to “fix” things for our kids and our spouse. Listening is a skill, not a personality trait, and we talk about how asking permission to coach can change the tone in your house. We wrap up with purpose-driven work and Graig's role at Soliant, supporting special education staffing and healthcare staffing, including teletherapy and hard-to-fill specialist roles that impact families across the country.If this conversation helps you slow down and lead your home with more intent, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more dads can find it.Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!  Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

Most of us were handed one of two scripts: the "because I said so" dad with all structure and no warmth, or the gentle parent with all warmth and no structure. Both leave kids without what they actually need. Pat Barber spent 22 years as a CrossFit coach, won his region in 2011, and taught seminars on four continents. Then he turned that same method of relentless self-examination onto fatherhood. Thirteen years and four sons later, he runs The Fathers Guild, and this conversation lays out what he's learned.In this conversation, you'll learn:The four parenting quadrants (neglectful, permissive, authoritarian, authoritative) and why most dads bounce between the two extremes without realizing itWhy "gentle parenting" as most people practice it is actually permissive parenting, and what the research-backed version really looks likeWhy parenting tactics don't change long-term outcomes for kids, and the one thing that does: who you are and the environment you createThe real definition of a boundary: it's not what your kid can't do, it's what you will do when they do itThe $5 yelling challenge Pat used to break a lifelong pattern of reactivity in a single monthHow The Fathers Guild uses monthly challenges, weekly Monday Ledger check-ins, and scored accountability to help dads grow the way athletes doIf you're buried and don't know where to start: pick one thing, try it for a month, and get some men around you while you do it.Resources Mentioned:The Fathers Guild — https://thefathersguild.comJamie Glowacki (parenting educator, boundaries framework) — https://www.jamieglowacki.comThe Gottman Institute (repair after conflict) — https://www.gottman.comMen and Women of Discomfort (MWOD) — https://mwod.io Hearing the call?

What happens to faith when a nation gets comfortable? Bill and Travis sit down with Mark Oxer, author of This Is the Way, who moved his family to the Netherlands and discovered a hard truth: comfort doesn't strengthen faith — it drifts it. In this episode, Mark unpacks the difference between builders, maintainers, and squanderers, why every generation is one decision away from losing what the last one fought for, and why a father's faith is the single biggest predictor of whether his kids stay in the church. This one will challenge you to stop coasting and start building — in your home, your community, and wherever God has planted you. Wake Up. Gear Up. Come Alive.

In today's Biblical Alert Podcast, we expose the relentless battle for hearts and minds in a world saturated by messages competing for our attention. With global advertising spending projected to reach staggering heights, believers are reminded that the greatest message is not the world's marketing, but the life-changing truth of the Gospel.As we celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, we reflect on the freedoms secured by America's founding documents and the even greater freedom found in Christ. Hear a firsthand report from a recent outreach mission in New York City, where thousands of U.S. Constitutions, Declarations of Independence, and Gospel booklets were distributed across city streets, subways, malls, the U.S. Open, and the 9/11 Memorial.Drawing from Ephesians 5, this episode is a powerful call for Christians to awaken from spiritual complacency, walk wisely, redeem the time, and resist the deception of the world, the flesh, and the devil. The days are evil, but God's people are called to shine the light of truth and boldly share the hope of the Gospel.Awake. Arise. Walk wisely. Redeem the time. The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this episode of Today's Biblical Alert, the speaker explores the growing tendency to label difficult biblical topics as "political" rather than addressing them through the lens of Scripture. After a conversation with a veteran about faith, sin, and the state of the nation, the discussion turns to the difference between being patriotic and being political.The episode examines how some churches avoid controversial subjects by dismissing them as political issues, even when they involve clear biblical teachings. Using examples from church life, cultural changes, and the fading public understanding of events like 9/11, the speaker argues that Christians are called to stand firmly on God's Word regardless of public opinion.Drawing from passages such as 2 Timothy 4:2, Acts 20:27, and Matthew 28:20, this message challenges pastors, teachers, and believers to preach and practice the full counsel of God rather than avoiding uncomfortable truths. The central question is: Are we allowing culture to define what is political, or are we allowing Scripture to define what is biblical?Keywords: Christian living, biblical preaching, faith and culture, patriotism, church leadership, Bible teaching, current events, Christian worldview, Today's Biblical Alert.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

I Am DivorcedIn this episode of Today's Biblical Alert, a simple encounter at a local dump sparks a deeper discussion about truth, responsibility, and the lasting impact of divorce. After meeting a man who openly shared both his testimony of salvation and the fact that he had been divorced, the speaker reflects on why certain life experiences leave such a profound mark on a person's story.The message explores the Christian responsibility to proclaim the whole counsel of God, not merely the subjects people are comfortable discussing. Drawing from Acts 20 and the example of the Apostle Paul, this episode challenges believers, pastors, and churches to speak clearly and lovingly about biblical truth, including difficult topics such as divorce and remarriage.As society often adopts a "need to know" mentality regarding important issues, this episode reminds listeners that God's Word provides guidance on the very matters that affect homes, children, churches, and nations. The call is simple yet urgent: declare the truth, speak it in love, and faithfully share what God says about the challenges people face every day.Key Topics:Biblical teaching on divorce and remarriageThe lasting effects of divorce on families and communitiesThe Christian's responsibility to teach the whole counsel of GodSpeaking truth with clarity, conviction, and loveThe importance of addressing difficult biblical subjectsScripture Reference: Acts 20Today's Biblical Alert encourages believers to stand firmly on God's Word and faithfully declare, "Thus saith the Lord."The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Alex Hormozi is back on the show, and I'm telling you right now, this may be my favorite conversation we've ever had together. I believe Alex is one of the best business minds in the world today, but what makes him different is his ability to take incredibly complex ideas and make them immediately actionable. We get into everything from productivity and AI to leadership, leverage, risk, and why some entrepreneurs explode through barriers while others stay trapped at the same level for years. One of the biggest ideas we unpack is something I believe every entrepreneur needs to hear: the risk that got you where you are may not be enough to get you where you want to go. Alex explains why so many entrepreneurs get trapped between $1 million and $3 million in revenue. You've finally made enough money to become comfortable, and now the very thing that helped you survive starts working against you. You become protective. You stop making the bets that got you there. But if you want another level, your capacity for risk has to expand alongside your capacity for opportunity. We also go deep on effort, focus, and leverage. Alex challenges the obsession with complicated morning routines and explains why your best cognitive hours should be protected for your most important work. He breaks down his philosophy that "work is the goal," why winning against other people eventually becomes too low of a standard, and why some of the most successful people measure themselves against what they were truly capable of giving. And his take on AI absolutely stopped me. Too many entrepreneurs are using AI to do the wrong things faster instead of asking whether those things should be done at all. Sometimes the greatest leverage isn't doing something more efficiently. It's eliminating it completely. But underneath all the business strategy is something even bigger. Alex talks about becoming a father, thinking differently about legacy, redefining what a great day actually looks like, and asking a deceptively simple question before taking a risk: What will this actually change about my day? We talk about why fear lives in the vague, why failure builds the pattern recognition that eventually makes success repeatable, and why great entrepreneurs eventually stop "building" businesses and start assembling them. If you're an entrepreneur, leader, or someone who knows there's another level in you, this episode will challenge the way you think about work, risk, success, and what you're actually building your life for. Key Takeaways: • Why your risk tolerance has to increase as your success increases• The $1M to $3M "swamp" that keeps entrepreneurs stuck• Why "work is the goal" can completely change how you measure success• How to protect your highest cognitive hours and eliminate unnecessary routines• Why focus is subtraction and doing less can create more leverage• The biggest mistake entrepreneurs are making with AI right now• How failure creates pattern recognition and makes future success faster• Why great entrepreneurs eventually stop building businesses and start assembling them• How Alex evaluates risk by asking what it will actually change about his daily life This one is packed with ideas I'll personally be thinking about for a long time. If you know an entrepreneur who feels stuck at the same level, send them this episode. It might show them exactly what's been holding them back. MAX OUT.

In this powerful episode of Biblical Alert, the host reflects on the life-changing events of September 11, 2001, sharing firsthand experiences from Washington, D.C. during the attacks and recounting the urgent journey to transport a stroke-stricken preacher across the country when all flights were grounded. Remembering the overwhelming display of American patriotism that united the nation in the aftermath of 9/11, he draws a parallel to the spiritual battles facing America today.The discussion examines concerns about modern political, cultural, and moral challenges, while calling Christians to remain steadfast in their faith. Emphasizing the transforming power of salvation through Jesus Christ, this message challenges believers to stand apart from worldly influences and visibly reflect the life-changing work of God in their daily lives.

Description KEEP GOING: Jake Arends on Loss, Sobriety, Fatherhood, and Finding Purpose After Suicide In this raw and deeply personal episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Jake Arends to honor the life of Jake's older brother, Jared, and talk honestly about grief, suicide loss, alcohol, sobriety, faith, fatherhood, and the decision to keep moving forward when life feels impossible. Jake remembers a storybook childhood in Waterloo, Iowa—wrestling, Iowa State football games, summers at Clear Lake, and a tight-knit family built on love, humor, and loyalty. Jared was Jake's protector, his tormentor in the way only an older brother can be, and a bright, charismatic presence who made people feel seen. But beneath that light, alcohol slowly took hold. Jake describes the progression from social drinking to dependence, isolation, lost opportunities, and the heartbreaking helplessness of watching someone you love become trapped by addiction. When Jared died by suicide, Jake was left carrying grief, anger, guilt, and the endless questions that so often follow this kind of loss. Jake also speaks candidly about his own response. He used alcohol to numb the pain and became emotionally absent from his wife and children. Eventually, he recognized that grief and drinking were stealing moments his family deserved to have with him. He chose sobriety—and has now been alcohol-free for two years. Nick and Jake discuss what it means to lead by example, why children repeat what they see, how a spouse can become a lifeline, and why quitting alcohol does not require waiting for a dramatic rock-bottom moment. They also explore Jake's growing faith, the assurance that nothing can separate us from the love of God, and the responsibility to turn pain into purpose by helping someone else. This conversation is not only about what Jake lost. It is about what he chose to build afterward: a healthier marriage, a more present relationship with his children, a deeper faith, and a legacy his family can be proud of. If you are grieving, questioning your relationship with alcohol, or struggling to see a path forward, Jake's message is simple: Take it one day at a time. Ask for help. Remember who needs you. Keep going. Content note: This episode includes honest discussion of suicide, grief, depression, and alcohol addiction.

Suicide Loss Is Different: Survivors often carry anger, guilt, confusion, and questions that may never receive complete answers. Alcohol Steals Presence: It takes time, clarity, connection, and moments your spouse and children deserve. You Don't Need a Dramatic Rock Bottom: If alcohol is hurting your life, that is enough reason to stop. Children Follow Examples: Fatherhood is shaped more by what children observe than by what they are told. Support Changes Outcomes: A spouse, counselor, recovery group, church, or trusted friend can become a lifeline. Faith Can Hold the Questions: Grief and doubt do not separate anyone from the love of God. Pain Can Become Purpose: Telling the truth about Jared's story may help another family choose a different ending. Legacy Is Built Today: The choices made now become the example passed to the next generation.   Why This Episode Matters Jake's story captures the heart of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess: honest men talking about the pain they usually hide, taking responsibility for the choices they can change, and becoming more present husbands and fathers. This episode honors Jared without reducing him to the way he died. It remembers the brother, husband, friend, storyteller, protector, and bright light people loved. At the same time, it refuses to soften the damage caused by alcohol, isolation, and untreated pain. Most importantly, the conversation gives listeners a next step. Ask for help. Talk to someone. Stop trying to carry everything alone. Make the decision that protects your life and your family today. Your pain can become purpose. Your story is not over.

A bewildered human race is like a man lost in a forest asking, “Father, are you there?” In 1945, at the end of World War 2, Helmut Thielicke, a brilliant theologian, preaching through the Lord's Prayer to what was left of his congregation in the ruins of his church in Stuttgart said, “Everything will be all right so long as we hear His good voice calling to us above the howling of the wolves, above the sound of branches snapping, above the ominous noises around us. God is always there.”A Christian worldview believes in the Fatherhood of God. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1141/29?v=20251111

What if the very habits you believe are making you stronger are actually keeping your nervous system trapped in stress, disconnecting you from your intuition, and preventing you from becoming who you really are? In this deeply personal conversation, Darin sits down with holistic health and movement practitioner, coach, former international fashion model, and new father Jules Horn. After years of pushing his body through grueling workouts, rigid routines, and relentless physical discipline, Jules began questioning whether the modern obsession with hustle, extreme fitness, and constant optimization was actually another socially acceptable form of escape. Together, Darin and Jules explore the difference between working out and working in: constantly spending energy versus learning how to cultivate it. Jules explains how marriage and fatherhood have forced him to reconsider routines that once defined his identity and ask a radically different question: instead of seeing how much his body can endure, how can he create enough energy, presence, and inner peace to give more to the people he loves? The conversation moves far beyond physical fitness into childhood programming, nervous system regulation, addiction, grief, self-love, spirituality, stillness, and the extraordinary difficulty modern humans have simply sitting with themselves. Jules shares how revisiting childhood experiences from a regulated state helped him recognize that much of what we experience in the present is being filtered through memories and emotional programs created years or even decades earlier. Ultimately, this episode challenges one of the dominant messages of modern culture: that becoming better requires doing more. Jules argues that some of the greatest transformations may come from doing less, listening more deeply, cultivating self-love, regulating the nervous system, and realizing that the "inner wealth" we're constantly searching for outside ourselves may already be within us. What You'll Learn Why extreme fitness and hustle culture can become socially acceptable forms of escape The difference between discipline and control Why Jules traded constant physical breakdown for energy cultivation How marriage and fatherhood completely changed his relationship with fitness and routine Why addiction can move from drugs or alcohol into exercise, work, food, or self-improvement How childhood experiences can continue programming our choices decades later Why regulating the nervous system can help us confront unresolved emotional patterns How silence, breathwork, and doing nothing can become powerful tools for self-awareness Why cultivating self-love may allow you to become more present for everyone around you How to stop searching outside yourself and begin developing genuine "inner wealth" Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:32 – Sponsor: Alkemis 00:03:24 – Introducing Jules Horn 00:04:50 – Outwitting the Devil and the systems that keep people trapped 00:06:43 – Fear, control, and how populations become easier to influence 00:07:50 – Free thinking, vision, and purpose as the antidote 00:08:46 – Setting your direction when the world throws obstacles at you 00:09:38 – The traffic lesson: surrendering what you cannot control 00:10:02 – Jules realizes his morning routine has become another prison 00:11:03 – The dangerous line between discipline and control 00:11:57 – Why meaningful creation requires boring consistency 00:13:18 – Fasting, energy cultivation, and questioning conventional wisdom 00:14:13 – Is the human body really designed to be pushed this hard?

But eventually you have to ask whether all that movement is actually growth or whether you're simply running from yourself. The deeper work is quieter. Regulate your nervous system. Sit still. Breathe. Listen. Face the memories and patterns you've been carrying. Cultivate enough love and energy within yourself that you actually have something left to give to the people you love. Your path doesn't come from another workout, another device, another guru, or another voice screaming for your attention. The real work begins when everything gets quiet enough for you to finally hear what's already inside you."

Inevitably, it will catch us by surprise. It always does–even though we know our kids are growing up.

Running might be a big part of his life, but this conversation is really about everything he has built around it.Chris found running while living in London and later used it as a way to keep his body healthy through the physical demands of farming. His introduction to ultras came at Man Against Horse 50 Miler, where a DNF unexpectedly started a much bigger adventure.Since then, Chris has fallen hard for the 200-mile distance. He finished Bigfoot 200, completed Hellbender 100, and took on a supported 224-mile out-and-back FKT on the Bartram Trail through his adopted home of Western North Carolina. That Bartram effort became something bigger than an individual goal as friends, pacers, his local running community, and Outdoor 76 rallied around him.Chris's story is a reminder that big goals don't require an empty calendar. Sometimes the real challenge is figuring out how adventure fits alongside the people, work, and community that matter most.Chris's Links: IG: @farmlosophySub Stack: Farmlosophy https://farmlosophy.substack.comFree to Run Fund Raiser: https://runsignup.com/christopherpetersonRelevant LinksFarmlosophy Substack: https://farmlosophy.substack.comFree to Run: https://freetorun.orgCocodona 250 / Aravaipa Running: https://www.aravaiparunning.com/cocodonaOutdoor 76: https://www.outdoor76.comHellbender 100: https://www.hellbender100.comStanding Indian Loop FKT: https://fastestknowntime.com/route/standing-indian-loop-ncSCAR FKT: https://fastestknowntime.com/route/scar-tn-ncFranklin Farm Hub: https://www.franklinfarmhub.orgPartner Links: KILA - https://kilarun.comRun Longer In Custom InsolesUse MIDPACKER for $50 off your order⁠Go Brewing⁠ - ⁠https://gobrewing.com/discount/MIDPACKER⁠NA Beers for people that enjoy brews that taste great and are better for you.Less alcohol, fewer calories, and more productive tomorrows.Use MIDPACKER for 20% off your first orderRendezvu.Co - https://www.rendezvu.co/troy-meadowsCheck out the Gear I love our purchases support me directly⁠Vacation Races⁠ - ⁠https://www.vacationraces.com⁠Epic Races on public lands near the most iconic National Park in the US.Use MIDPACKER at checkout for 15% the registration of any Ultra, Half, or Trailfest⁠⁠Run Trail Life⁠⁠ - ⁠https://runtraillife.com⁠Find Official MPP Merch on RTL!!Visit RunTrailLife.com to check out our line of Hats and Organic cotton T's.⁠⁠Freetrail⁠⁠ - ⁠https://freetrail.com⁠Visit Freetrail.com to sign up today.Christopher Peterson, Chris Peterson, Farmlosophy, Western North Carolina, Franklin North Carolina, ultrarunning, trail running, 200 mile running, Bartram Trail, Bartram Trail FKT, Bigfoot 200, Hellbender 100, Cocodona 250, SCAR, Double SCAR, Standing Indian Loop, fastest known time, FKT, Free to Run, Stephanie Case, Outdoor 76, Franklin Farm Hub, sustainable agriculture, farming, fatherhood, parenting, running community, SNARK, Appalachian Trail, Great Smoky Mountains, Southern Appalachia, endurance running, community, fear, resilience, adventure

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." It's one of the most familiar verses about family leadership in the Bible—but what does Joshua 24:15 actually require of a Christian dad? In the final episode of this three-part series, Kent and Lawson unpack the words "we will serve the Lord" and explore what it looks like to make serving God the true center of your home. Biblical fatherhood isn't simply about doing more Christian activities, volunteering more, or becoming the ultimate authority in your family. It begins with deciding who sits on the throne. When a dad is rooted in God's Word, submitted to Christ, and drawing from the true Source, his leadership, marriage, parenting, finances, priorities, and service can flow from that foundation. Kent and Lawson discuss the difference between serving from worship and trying to earn spiritual success through activity, why dads shouldn't make themselves the "Supreme Court" of the family, how husbands and wives can pursue God's direction together, and why intimacy with the Father must precede ministry for the Father. If you want to become a more intentional Christian father and lead your family toward Christ without making everything depend on you, this conversation offers a practical, biblical place to start. In this episode: What Joshua 24:15 teaches Christian dads What it really means to "serve the Lord" How fathers can lead without making themselves the ultimate authority Why worship comes before service How God's Word becomes the source for family leadership Leading your wife and children toward a shared faith Serving your family from spiritual overflow instead of emptiness   You're not a father on accident. Go be a father who serves the Lord on purpose.   Want to shape the direction of the show this year?

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.   Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

What if becoming a healthier leader at home doesn't require a major overhaul, but simply a two-degree shift? High-capacity leaders know how to solve problems, make decisions, and get things done. But the skills that make you effective at work don't always translate at home. That's because your greatest strengths, like your drive, capacity, and ability to fix things, can keep you from slowing down, listening, and connecting with the biggest fans under your roof. In this episode, Dr. Josh explores how small relational shifts can change the way you lead in your marriage and family. He also provides small, practical, two-degree shifts that can change the trajectory of your family and the atmosphere of your home. You don't need a 90-degree turn. You just need two degrees. *Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

Send us Fan MailFatherhood isn't a background role, and it isn't something we get to “sort out later.” Today we go straight at the weight many men forget they carry: the power to shape a child's view of truth, safety, discipline, love, and purpose. When a father shows up with clarity and integrity, he becomes a steady witness in the home. When he disappears, the gap doesn't stay empty, it gets filled by confusion, pressure, and loud substitutes.We build the conversation around a surprising moment from Abraham's story: sending his servant to find a wife for Isaac and requiring an oath with a deeply personal gesture. That scene opens up a bigger point about legacy and responsibility. We talk about “testimony” as bearing witness, and why we describe fatherhood as carrying a “testimony of life” that can travel from one generation to the next. It's a biblical perspective on fatherhood, but it's also a practical framework for masculinity, parenting, and family leadership in any community.We also look at what happens at scale when fathers are weak or absent, including a striking report mentioned on air about widespread absentee fatherhood. The goal isn't blame, it's clarity: kids need guidance, and societies pay a price when that guidance is missing. We close with a direct challenge to men and a reminder to families: don't let tomorrow become uncertain because the people meant to bear witness refuse to stand up.Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new
