episode 014 When Dad's Angry, Kids Hide — 5 Steps to Rebuild Trust cover

Description

Dads, * Do your kids respect you or fear you? * Could the trust you're trying to build with your kids be getting torn down by the way you communicate when you're frustrated or angry? * If your children were asked to describe you in one word, would they say "loving" or "angry"? When a father's anger becomes predictable, children often learn to protect themselves by pulling away rather than drawing near. In this episode, Glenn shares five practical steps to rebuild trust, restore connection, and create emotional safety in the home. He explains how emotional regulation, humility, and personal responsibility through effective communication can help fathers break unhealthy patterns and lead their families with greater consistency. You'll learn how small changes in your words, reactions, and presence can strengthen your relationship with your children and build lasting trust. If you're a father who wants to move from frustration to connection and lead your family well, this episode offers a practical path forward.

021 Why Good Kids Drift From Faith — And What Dads Can Do About It

Dads, * Have you ever wondered why some kids who grow up in Christian homes eventually walk away from their faith? * If someone watched your life for a week, would they see that following Jesus is your highest priority—or just something you do on Sundays? * Who is having the greatest influence on your children today—you, or someone else? In this episode, Glenn explains why a father's influence matters and how being intentionally present, rather than simply present, can shape a child's spiritual foundation. You'll discover practical, biblical ways to model faith, encourage your children, and lead your family by making Jesus part of everyday life—not just Sunday mornings. Learn how loving discipline, consistent teaching, and authentic faith can help your children develop a relationship with God that lasts. If you're a husband and father who wants to lead your family with confidence and raise children who love Jesus, this episode will encourage and equip you to take the next step.

020 Why Men Shut Down During Marriage Conflict — And How to Rebuild Connection

Husbands, * Has your wife ever said something during an argument that instantly made you shut down? * Do you find yourself replaying conflict in your head for days, thinking about what she said and how unfair it felt? * What if the reason you withdraw during conflict isn't because you're angry—but because you're offended? Many men shut down during conflict in their marriage, but the real issue often isn't anger—it's offense rooted in insecurity. In this episode, Glenn explains how feeling criticized, misunderstood, or inadequate can cause husbands to withdraw, creating greater distance instead of resolving the conflict. You'll discover how renewing your identity in Christ, staying engaged during difficult conversations, and choosing understanding over defensiveness can strengthen your marriage and your leadership. Through practical faith and biblical wisdom, you'll learn simple steps to overcome unhealthy communication patterns and rebuild connection with your wife. If you want to become a more confident husband who leads with humility, peace, and purpose, this episode will help you take the next step.  Next Steps: - Step 1: Join a supportive community of like-minded men at my Facebook group Becoming Men Who Lead Well [https://www.facebook.com/groups/778657491344554]. - Step 2: Become an Insider.

Hey Guys, * Do you ever feel like the weight of your family's future rests entirely on your shoulders? * Have you ever laid awake at night worrying about money, bills, retirement, or whether you're providing enough for your family? * When financial pressure hits, do you respond with peace and confidence—or stress, fear, and frustration? In this episode, Glenn explores the pressure many men feel around finances, provision, and responsibility, sharing lessons learned while serving as a missionary and trusting God through seasons of financial uncertainty. Looking at Scripture from Genesis to the teachings of Jesus, he explains the difference between being a provider and being the source, and why confusing those roles often leads to anxiety and fear. You'll discover how faith, stewardship, and trusting God as your ultimate provider can help you lead your marriage and family with greater peace and confidence. If financial pressure has been fueling insecurity, stress, or sleepless nights, this episode offers a biblical perspective on how to carry that burden well.  Next Steps: - Step 1: Join a supportive community of like-minded men at my Facebook group Becoming Men Who Lead Well [https://www.facebook.com/groups/778657491344554]. - Step 2: Become an Insider.

018 Why Men Drift Spiritually — And Stop Leading Well

Hey Men, * Have you ever looked up and realized it's been days—or even weeks—since you've spent meaningful time with God? * Are you leading your family spiritually, or are you hoping someone else will do it? * Could the reason you feel stuck, frustrated, or disconnected with family or life, be that you've slowly drifted away from God? In this episode, Glenn shares a personal story from his deployment to Bosnia and explains how both life's hardships and life's comforts can pull men away from a vibrant relationship with God. Using Jesus' Parable of the Sower & the Seed, he explores how the condition of our hearts determines whether God's truth takes root and produces lasting transformation. You'll learn why self-discipline, consistent faith, and intentionally prioritizing God are essential for leading your marriage, fatherhood, and everyday life well. If you've been feeling spiritually stuck, emotionally reactive, or disconnected from your purpose, this episode will help you identify the signs of spiritual drift and show you how to find your way back.   Next Steps: - Step 1: Join a supportive community of like-minded men at my Facebook group Becoming Men Who Lead Well [https://www.facebook.com/groups/778657491344554]. - Step 2: Become an Insider.

017 Why Men Lose Hope — And How God-Given Purpose Restores It

Hey Men, * Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, "Is this all there is?" * Do you ever feel like you're working hard, staying busy, and meeting your responsibilities—but still feel empty inside? * Could the reason you've lost hope be that you don’t know God's purpose for your life? Have life's disappointments, uncertainties, or setbacks left you feeling discouraged and wondering if there's more to life than simply getting through the day? In this episode, Glenn explores the connection between hope, purpose, and faith, explaining why many men lose hope when they lose sight of God's purpose for their lives. Drawing from his own experience of career transitions and seasons of uncertainty, he shows how purpose gives meaning to life's challenges and helps men navigate difficult seasons with confidence. You'll discover how identity and purpose work together, why God created every man with intentionality, and how biblical purpose restores hope even when circumstances don't make sense. If you're struggling with doubt, discouragement, or feeling directionless, this episode will help you reconnect with the purpose God designed you to live.
