Podcast appearances and mentions of Rob Porter

For the next few episodes we'll be exploring one of my favourite birding hikes yet — the Minister Creek Trail. I came to this trail knowing nearly nothing about it, and yet seem to have found the perfect time to explore it — in early June when the rhododendrons are blooming and birdsong is in abundance.

Your daughter's transformation into a young woman is designed by God. But as a dad, stepping back to protect her can be tough when all you want is to reconnect like you did when she was younger. In this episode, Jay Heck, Rob Porter, and Jeff Zaugg unpack the powerful "Chrysalis Analogy" and reveal how God uses this transition to draw you closer to Him while strengthening your relationship with your kids.   Key Takeaway   Being a supportive protector instead of forcing connection as your daughter ages will build intimacy and make both of your lives easier.  Your daughter's view of men will be shaped by how safe and loved she feels with you as her father. Just like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, your daughter's spiritual, physical, and hormonal transformation requires you to stand back and trust God's design. Your thoughts and words hold immense power. Choose to speak vision and blessings over your daughter's life.   Jay Heck & Rob Porter   Jay Heck is the founder and director of Being Songs, a ministry helping men discover that authentic, fearless, God-designed manhood begins by being a son. He and his wife, Heather, have two young adult children.  Rob Porter lives in New Zealand with his wife and two kids. He leads Let's Keep Rising, a ministry that crafts adventures, events, and resources that meet men where they are and help them experience restoration in the most critical relationships they have, beginning with God   Key Quotes   21:15 - "I recall you mentioning, Jay, I get to become more of a son through my daughter. So the thing that sticks out to me is, what are the messages my daughter is receiving from me? Jay, I think you laid out this idea of air, food and water. Attention being the air, affection being the food, and affirmation being the water. And what I'm really feeling, where I'm maturing, is my awareness in a given situation. So, that when I'm feeling stressed or frustrated or whatever my emotions are stirring, that I'm able to separate that from coming out to my child. That I'm able to be aware of what's the message that they're receiving from me." 24:51 - "One of the things that I was guilty of, and this was my heart's response or reaction to fear, that I don't know what I'm doing. So, when I can't make sense of it, I like to put a label on it. My daughter is difficult, or she's hard-headed. I mean, people joke about this stuff all the time, but when you really begin to think about it, you are speaking and you are affirming a reality. You're speaking something into existence. Like if I, in my anger, I can say, my daughter's being so difficult today. And the next day I say the same thing. And then after three days, I'm like, my daughter is difficult. Like it grows, the story begins to be more comprehensive. I don't know what to do with my daughter. Wow, is that really the story or is it you just don't know what to do in this instant with her? You don't know how to love her. And so we can just say these curses all the time."   Links from Today's Conversation   Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Apply to join the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort: Email awesome@dadawesome.org   Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word “Dad” to (651) 370-8618 Let's Keep Rising Being Sons Events Raising Boys and Girls 31: A Dad's Guide to "The Stages of The Feminine Journey" w/Stasi Eldredge | Being Sons Podcast Sissy Goff Books Connect with dadAWESOME   Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

Jeff Zaugg and Rob Porter sit down with Jay Heck for a powerful, three-way conversation on fatherhood. In Part 1, they dive into the tension between being a provider and still embracing curiosity, adventure, and childlike wonder. They also unpack the unique triune relationship between a father, God, and his child.   Key Takeaway   Are you approaching life like an orphan or like a son whose father is going to come through for him even if he makes a mistake?  Slowing down can help you navigate the tension between being a provider and embracing curiosity, wonder, and creativity.  God uses your trials to bring wholeness, restoration, and healing.  You don't have to exhaust yourself to allow God to do a work in you. Instead of carrying the burden of fatherhood alone, realize that you are ultimately raising God's child, and He will be there to help you.   Jay Heck & Rob Porter   Jay Heck is the founder and director of Being Songs, a ministry helping men discover that authentic, fearless, God-designed manhood begins by being a son. He and his wife, Heather, have two young adult children.  Rob Porter lives in New Zealand with his wife and two kids. He leads Let's Keep Rising, a ministry that crafts adventures, events, and resources that meet men where they are and help them experience restoration in the most critical relationships they have, beginning with God   Key Quotes   14:49- "I want to learn from it. I want to patch things up where there's been a rupture and let's keep going. And that has produced so much fruit. Growing up as a kid, I came out of childhood with a fear of a lack of connection, a lack of attachment with my children. So I think out of the pain and out of the crucible of our past, we have the opportunity to have a glorious future if we dig into God and say, help redeem what my experience was." 47:35 - "What if, in fact, we begin operating under the paradigm that God is the Father, which means that all provision actually comes from Him. All protection actually comes from Him. The plan for my child's life that I feel like is so on me to help them navigate, what if God, like it says in Scripture, already has all the days numbered for them before one of them came to be? What if He already knows their nature, their goodness? What if He already knows what He's been training them for, what they're learning in the present moment, and He already knows, I've got all this stuff that I need to them and father them through for them to become what I created. What that means is that I can get in the way. If I take that posture that I'm the dad, I can so much be the wall and the obstacle between God and my child. If I can, if we can begin looking at it where God is the Father will, and then we've got this interchangeable relationship, I can be His child and God's going to use my son or my daughter to help me lean on Him."   Links from Today's Conversation   Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Apply to join the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort: Email awesome@dadawesome.org   Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word “Dad” to (651) 370-8618 Let's Keep Rising Being Sons Events Connect with dadAWESOME   Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

At sunrise every morning during bird breeding season, habitats everywhere erupt into birdsong. This is referred to as the Dawn Chorus, and depending on where you live, it could be just a few neighbourhood backyard birds, or a deafening cacophony of various species competing to be heard the most. I'm taking advantage of staying at campgrounds that have access to exceptional nature trails. Rather than driving somewhere to record, I'm going straight from the tent to the trails that meander up through valleys full of Eastern Hemlock and other Carolinian Forest species. This will be my last day here in July of 2022, but it will be a very busy one. For the next 5 episodes we'll be exploring this part of Allegheny National Forest, then making a couple more stops on my journey back home. Keep listening after the credits, I've included some Winter Wrens and other species captured by a stationary recorder I left sitting near the campgrounds during this dawn chorus. eBird Checklist for the outing this was recorded during: https://ebird.org/checklist/S115878501 Download Merlin Bird ID today: https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/ Credits Songbirding: The Allegheny National Forest is a Songbirding Studios production.

Heart's Content Scenic Area is one of the few "old growth" forests in Pennsylvania. Instead of going deep into the old growth though, today I'll be exploring the picnic area and nearby interpretive trails. It may seem counterintuitive, but the greatest diversity of songbirds can be heard by sticking close to edge habitat — that is, habitats that represent border between two or more habitats. In this case, the open meadow of the picnic area, and the old growth of Heart's Content. eBird Checklist for the outing this was recorded during: https://ebird.org/checklist/S119284081 Download Merlin Bird ID today: https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/ Credits Songbirding: The Allegheny National Forest is a Songbirding Studios production.

At the end of the very first episode of this season I mentioned we've be coming back to the nocturnal portion of that hike, and here we are! This'll be less birdsong, more talk and waiting in the quiet, I'm going to talk a bit about the Eastern Whip-poor-will. I'll make reference to some bat sounds, but I couldn't quite make them audible in the recording this time around. Stick around to the end for a surprise song right at the conclusion of my hike. eBird Checklist for the outing this was recorded during: https://ebird.org/checklist/S115082556 Download Merlin Bird ID today: https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/ Credits Songbirding: The Allegheny National Forest is a Songbirding Studios production.

I've been driving along the forest road near Hector's Falls to find some new habitat niches, listening for more songs and sounds. After several hours of hiking, it's a nice break to cover ground while giving my leg muscles a rest.

I'm beginning my hike back to the main road. One might expect this means we'll hear the same birds, but that's not always going to be the case. Some species move around during the day, or might vocalize less or more often, or differently, at different times of the day. We've not yet heard everything this trail has to offer today.

I've made it to Hector's Falls - it's not a very tall waterfall but it is very compelling to look at. The water flows off of a rectangular-shaped rock face, forming a thin silk-sheet like stream of water. Anywhere there is flowing water, there will be insects, and where there are insects to be fed on, there will be plenty of bird species.

It's my first morning in Allegheny National Forest and the weather is clear and sunny — a perfect July day for recording birdsong. I've parked at the same trailhead for Hector's Falls as I did the evening before. This time I'm planning to make it all the way to the falls, and perhaps beyond.

Answers before questions do harm to the soul. – Henri Nouwen Friends, For the heart of a boy, questions come quite naturally... for a time.  Then, slowly, like the tide, the questions ebb and become fewer and fewer. The false self takes root, and we increasingly operate under pressure to have life figured out. Curiosity atrophies, and we trade childlike dependency and whole-hearted questions for the self-imposed pressure of well-manicured answers. We become self-sufficient. In Part 2 of this conversation with Rob Porter, we rediscover the innocence and hope of asking questions. For every question eventually leads us back to the heart of God. Join us as we re-engage our question marks and respond to the invitation to live as men outrageously loved by God. For the Kingdom, Morgan

Let's rediscover the innocence and hope of asking questions. The post 142: Rise, with Rob Porter (Part 2) appeared first on Become Good Soil.

We're lost males, all of us, cast adrift from the community of men, cut off from our masculine heritage—abandoned to machines, organizations, fantasies, drugs. – Gordon Dalbey, Healing the Masculine Soul From this central abandonment, we men often find ourselves, consciously and unconsciously, painfully fulfilling the plot line of an isolated and individualized story. It's all up to me. I'm way behind. It's too late.  I am all alone.   For many of us, these ideas mock, discourage, and sap our strength with harrowing familiarity.  Yet there is another Voice that calls to us, the voice of our Father God and Brother Jesus and empowering Holy Spirit who reach out to us every minute of our lives, inviting us to enter God's Kingdom and live lives of endless power and beauty in union with God.  These are not easy times for choosing the courageous path of becoming a wholehearted man. Yet, friends, we have been bestowed with the dignity of choice coupled with the promise of God's supernatural power to prevail in becoming everything God means us to be.   We can choose to risk. To receive. To become men who, in time and over time, root themselves in the Kingdom Among Us and travel the ancient path and process of masculine initiation.  My like-hearted brother Rob Porter is one of these men. In his sacred rebellion against the enemies of the souls of men, Rob spent decades taking staggering risks, discovering the concrete reality of living as a son, and living into the new storyline of sonship, wholeness, and strength. It's not up to me. I'm on time. I have more than enough. I am being led by a good, true, and beautiful Father who is brilliantly orchestrating my rescue, redemption, and masculine initiation.  What would it be like for that all to be true? Come along, and let's find out together.  For the Kingdom, Morgan Show Notes: If you or someone you know are in the region, consider attending the Becoming a King Retreat hosted by Rob in Auckland, New Zealand.
