In this episode, Larry and Uncle Joe tackle one of the most relatable questions any sports dad has ever asked — what do you do when the environment your kid is playing in is toxic, and it's breaking his spirit? The question comes from Mike — a dad of two boys whose 11-year-old has recently had his love for baseball crushed by the culture of travel sports. The kid is now telling himself he's not good enough and that quitting is the answer. Mike is doing the work, modeling emotional regulation at home, and feeling like an imposter because none of it seems to be helping. Larry shares his own story of pushing his son too hard in wrestling, learning to let him lead, and watching him play football for ten years before deciding on his own to walk away. Joe drops an ancient Chinese archery proverb that reframes the entire conversation — and explains why the need to win literally drains a kid of every skill he has. Alliance member Calvin adds a coach's perspective on getting to the root of what's really going on with your son. This is a short, punchy, deeply practical episode that every sports dad needs to hear — especially if you've ever wondered whether the investment of time and money in travel sports is actually worth it.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:02] Mike's question: my 11-year-old's spirit is being broken by travel baseball's toxic culture — what do I do? [3:47] Larry's wrestling story — getting excited about a scholarship, pushing too hard, and learning to follow his son's lead [6:26] Dr. John Delany's take: travel sports is ruining the dinner table of the American family [7:37] The stats — only 1.5% of kids who play youth sports will play in college [9:03] How kids start attaching their identity to their performance — and why that's dangerous [11:47] Whatever you start, you finish — the Hagner family rule and why it matters [12:32] The hockey coach who got kicked out of games three times — and the son who never played hockey again [13:41] 82% of kids quit a sport because of the coach — not the sport itself [15:33] Joe's ancient Chinese archery proverb — when an archer shoots for nothing, he has all of his skill [16:39] Why travel ball brings out the worst in parents — the lottery mindset and the toxicity that follows [17:12] If you play for somebody else's approval, you play half the game you would have played [17:45] Be the anti-venom — how to show up as the most positive presence in the stands [20:25] Calvin's perspective — get down to his level, ask the real questions, and watch how he shows up at practice [22:14] Mike's takeaway — finish the season, support his decision, and help him find his football whatever that looks like   Five Key Takeaways Only 1.5% of kids who play youth sports will play in college. Before you invest five figures a year in travel sports, ask yourself who this is really for — your kid or you. When a child's identity gets attached to their performance, and the environment around them is relentless and critical, they don't just quit the sport — they start believing they aren't good enough at life. Whatever you start, you finish. Let your kid know you support whatever they decide when the season is done — but the commitment they made to the team matters and they're going to honor it. The need to win drains a player of every skill they have. When a kid stops playing for the love of it and starts playing for approval, they play half the game they're capable of. You can't insulate your kids from toxic environments — but you can be the anti-venom. Be the most positive person in those stands, speak life into every kid, and let your son see what that looks like.   Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance: https://thedadedge.com/alliance Dad Edge Business Boardroom: https://thedadedge.com/boardroom Dad Edge Youth Sports Resources: https://thedadedge.com/tag/youth-sports/ Dad Edge Youth Athletics Resources: https://thedadedge.com/tag/youth-athletics/ Using Sports to Strengthen Father-Child Bonds: https://thedadedge.com/using-sports-to-strengthen-father-child-bonds-life-lessons Coaching Kids: https://thedadedge.com/coaching-kids/ Greg Olsen Episode — Marriage Under Pressure: https://thedadedge.com/marriage-under-pressure-weathering-lifes-hardest-storms-featuring-greg-olsen/ How to Build a Non-Anxious Life by Dr. John Delony: Available on Amazon Episode Link & Resources (Episode 1477): https://thedadedge.com/1477   Closing If there's one message from this episode that stands out, it's this: the goal of youth sports was never the scholarship — it was the lesson. The kids who look back and love what sports gave them aren't the ones who made it to college or the pros. They're the ones who had a coach who believed in them, a parent who cheered for effort instead of outcomes, and a teammate who made them laugh on the bench eating Big League Chew. Be the anti-venom. Finish the season. And let your kid find their football. Go out and live legendary.

We are a culture well acquainted with anxiety. Recent years have shown it rising dramatically, particularly among Generation Z and Millennials, but affecting all of us. In the Sermon on the Mount, however, Jesus urges us not to be anxious. We wonder: is that actually possible today?Author Alan Fadling joined us for a recent online conversation, where we explored these questions for a live audience:"Maybe Peace, and its friends like Hope and Joy, maybe that's a better engine, maybe that's a better source of energy and motivation than my anxiety ever has been. And if my anxiety is fuel, then it's fuel that burns dirty."This episode is from a conversation from February 2026.

When trials befall us, we're often tempted to question God's goodness or power, and because we want an end to our pain, we try to figure out why God has allowed particular trials into our lives. We reason that if we can just understand what God is doing, we can work towards a way out of our suffering. I am so excited to share with you guys my conversation today with Pastor Matt Howell, as we discuss some profound questions about suffering. Pastor Matt grew up in Dallas, TX and graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2003. After graduation, he served as an intern with RUF at LSU for two years where he developed a heart for pastoral ministry and met and married his wife, Kathryn. After 11 years of being a campus minister with RUF, Matt now serves as a pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, in Memphis, Tennessee. While we can't know God's specific reasons for the trials that he allows into our lives, we do know that He has a big-picture purpose for the sufferings we endure.Suggested ResourcesRedeemer MemphisJoni Eareckson TadaHow to Build a Non-Anxious Life with John DelonySend me a text!This episode is proudly sponsored by: SizzlefishLet's talk about fueling your body with the best nature has to offer.

Anxiety has become incredibly common. Many people feel constantly on edge—worried about work, relationships, money, the future, or simply the pace of modern life. The usual advice focuses on calming down, reducing stress, or trying to eliminate anxiety altogether. But Dr. John Delony believes that approach misses the point. Anxiety itself is not the real problem—it's a signal. Like a smoke alarm going off in your house, the goal shouldn't be to silence the alarm but to figure out what's causing it. Dr. Delony argues that anxiety often points to deeper issues such as unresolved conflict, unhealthy relationships, lack of boundaries, or living out of alignment with what really matters to you. When you address those underlying issues, anxiety often begins to ease naturally. Dr. John Delony is a mental health and wellness expert, host of The John Delony Show podcast (https://www.ramseysolutions.com/shows/the-dr-john-delony-show), and author of Building a Non-Anxious Life (https://amzn.to/4aabU1G). In our conversation he explains why anxiety may actually be trying to help you—and how listening to that signal can lead to a calmer, more intentional life.

What does it look like to lead without being quietly driven by anxiety? In this reflective solo episode, Alan Fadling—author of A Non-Anxious Life—explores what it means to lead from peace rather than from pressure in a world marked by tension, fatigue, and uncertainty. Drawing from Scripture, spiritual formation, and years of working with Christian leaders, Alan invites listeners to consider a deeper, more durable peace—one rooted not in circumstances, but in communion with Christ. Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety, Alan offers a wiser path: learning to relocate it, so it no longer leads. Along the way, he reflects on why peace is not just a personal virtue, but a public gift leaders offer the people they serve. Released on the two-year anniversary of A Non-Anxious Life, this episode is an invitation to return to a way of leading marked by trust, presence, and hope—even in troubling times.

Welcome to another episode of "Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick." Today, Michael welcomes back his friend, author and spiritual leader Alan Fadling, to dive into themes from Alan's book, "A Non-Anxious Life." Together, they explore what it means to live with peace in a world gripped by anxiety, unpacking Alan's personal journey from being "a master of anxiety" to learning to cultivate peace.Throughout the conversation, Alan Fadling shares how his upbringing, family dynamics, and spiritual formation shaped his experience of anxiety, illuminating the thin line between caring and worrying. The discussion touches on practical ways to practice the presence of God, the unique role that virtues like humility and gentleness play in displacing anxiety, and the centrality of embodiment—experiencing peace not just spiritually, but in our bodies and everyday lives.Listeners will find hope in the idea that anxiety doesn't need to be eradicated, but can become a catalyst for experiencing God's presence and peace more fully. As always, the episode closes with a heartfelt prayer, inviting us into a life marked not by frantic striving, but by the gentleness and trust that come from walking with the Prince of Peace.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

The peace of God is a communal reality experienced in the context of navigating conflict together. Contrary to what we might think or feel, it is as we seek out reconciliation that we experience the peace of God in and among us.

In this solo episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, host Larry Hagner opens up about what it means to be the thermostat in your home, not just the thermometer. With economic uncertainty, workplace stress, and daily responsibilities piling up, Larry shares a powerful message: while we can't always control the outside world, we can control the atmosphere inside our homes.   Drawing from his own experience as a husband, father of four, entrepreneur, and coach to hundreds of men, Larry offers three simple but game-changing practices to help you lead with presence, peace, and intentionality. You'll learn how to create transition rituals, share stress in age-appropriate ways, and protect one daily “anchor moment” with your family.   This isn't just advice—it's a battle plan for fatherhood in today's chaotic world.   TIMELINE SUMMARY   [0:00] - The Dad Edge movement: raising the next generation of fathers [1:06] - Why “Dad Jones” matters more than Dow Jones [2:30] - From entrepreneurship to emotional presence at home [3:38] - Why dads must become the thermostat, not the thermometer [4:31] - Breaking generational cycles through intentional leadership [5:21] - Tactical Nugget #1: Create a transition ritual [6:02] - From Zoom calls to family time in 60 seconds or less [7:39] - Zoom fatigue, blue-collar exhaustion, and stress overload [8:18] - Real-world examples of transition rituals that work [9:36] - The “warm-up” metaphor: why you can't sprint cold [10:40] - Tactical Nugget #2: Share age-appropriate context [11:48] - Explaining stress to a 9-year-old without oversharing [12:49] - Tactical Nugget #3: Protect one anchor moment daily [13:46] - The dinner table is sacred—don't let sports take it away [14:55] - The Hagner family: 70% dinner consistency even with teens [16:05] - Anchoring doesn't have to be nightly—just intentional [17:09] - What it means to protect your family's emotional economy [18:18] - Action step: Choose one ritual to stabilize your home [19:02] - Want to go deeper?

Create a Transition Ritual Whether it's deep breathing, walking, or reading scripture, take 5–10 minutes to reset before re-entering home life.   3. Speak to Your Kids at Their Level You don't need to dump stress on your children—but you can share what's going on in ways they understand.   4. Protect One Daily Anchor Moment Whether it's a meal, bedtime routine, or morning coffee with your spouse—make it non-negotiable.   5.

Prayer and anxiety both have to do with where our attention is: anxiety on the unchangeable past or the unknowable future; prayer on the awareness of God's presence in the present.This teaching was given as part of our annual outdoor service and fifth anniversary celebration Sunday.

God's nearness invites us to bring our anxious hearts and bodies to trust in his love, producing a gentleness in us toward ourselves and others.

Anxiety is such a huge issue in our world today. The average person is, statistically, more on edge and anxious than ever before and many of us feel helpless when it comes to managing the stress and worries of our daily life. Our bodies and spirits were not made for this kind of weight, so how do we find peace and rest in the midst of the pressures and problems we all face? Today's episode will show you how and why it matters that you create and pursue a non-anxious life.

“Just because I'm a dad, that doesn't mean that I'm going to be good at it unless I learn.”  Fathers shape more than just family routines—they set the tone for leadership, love, and legacy. A man's ability to step into growth, create safety, and live by example is what keeps marriages alive and children thriving. At its heart, fatherhood isn't about perfection, but about the pursuit of becoming better each day. The guest reminds us that thriving families start with men who show rather than tell. Whether it's modeling patience with kids, leading without control, or keeping marriage on the front burner, it's action—not advice—that builds trust and intimacy. He shares raw stories of failure, recovery, and the importance of community as the crucible where fathers sharpen each other.  Larry Hagner, founder of The Dad Edge and author of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood, has spent the last decade equipping thousands of men to lead with strength, vulnerability, and faith. His work continues to guide fathers toward deeper connection and resilience.  Learn more & connect:  https://thedadedge.com/  https://thedadedge.com/podcast/  Also in this episode:  • The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood by Larry Hagner  • Wild at Heart by John Eldredge  • Building a Non-Anxious Life by Dr. John Delony  • No More Mr. Nice Guy by Dr. Robert Glover  • The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

When trials befall us, we're often tempted to question God's goodness or power, and because we want an end to our pain, we try to figure out why God has allowed particular trials into our lives. We reason that if we can just understand what God is doing, we can work towards a way out of our suffering. I am so excited to share with you guys my conversation today with Pastor Matt Howell, as we discuss some profound questions about suffering. Pastor Matt grew up in Dallas, TX and graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2003. After graduation, he served as an intern with RUF at LSU for two years where he developed a heart for pastoral ministry and met and married his wife, Kathryn. After 11 years of being a campus minister with RUF, Matt now serves as a pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, in Memphis, Tennessee. While we can't know God's specific reasons for the trials that he allows into our lives, we do know that He has a big-picture purpose for the sufferings we endure.
