Ep#76 - Following Dad!

In this special episode of the You Are The Man Podcast, we sit down with my son Colin and daughter Avalea to talk about what it means to follow in Dad’s footsteps on mission for God. Colin shares a powerful testimony of how God has worked in his life through missions, discipleship, and serving others. Avalea shares her excitement as she prepares for her first trip to Uganda, where she will serve at Benjamin House Ministries and meet her sponsored brothers and sister for the first time after years of praying, giving, and staying connected from across the world. This episode is about legacy, obedience, family, and the power of saying yes to God’s calling. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to go where God sends you.

Ep#74 - The Battle for our Children - What Parents Can Do Now!

Episode 5: Fighting the Battle — What Parents Can Do NowWe've spent the last four episodes discussing the battle for our boys, the battle for our girls, and the spiritual war being waged against our children through a phone-based childhood. But eventually every parent asks the same question:"What do I do now?"In this final episode of our Anxious Generation series, we move from diagnosis to action. Drawing from Jonathan Haidt's practical recommendations, we discuss how parents can raise confident, capable, Christ-centered children in a culture driven by screens, fear, and overprotection.We'll explore:Why parents need to think more like gardeners than carpentersHow we've become overprotective in the real world and underprotective onlineThe importance of free play, responsibility, and independencePractical steps for smartphones, social media, and screen timeHow to help children develop confidence through challengeWhy responsibility, work, adventure, and community are essential for healthy developmentHow fathers can lead the way in raising resilient young men and womenMost importantly, we'll discuss why the answer to the anxious generation isn't simply fewer screens—it's helping our children experience a richer life than a screen could ever provide.Christian men, fatherhood, discipleship, Spiritual leadership, podcast

Ep#73 - The Battle for our Children (Part 4)

In this episode of You Are The Man Podcast, we continue looking at The Anxious Generation and the spiritual cost of a phone-based life. Phones are not just distracting our children — they are discipling them. They are shaping what they love, how they think, how quickly they judge, how little they forgive, how rarely they sit in silence, and how easily they miss the glory of God right in front of them. This episode unpacks how constant screen time pulls families away from sacred rhythms, real presence, stillness, self-denial, forgiveness, and awe. We look at how the phone-based life trains both parents and children to live focused on self, image, comparison, outrage, and noise — while God calls us upward into worship, wisdom, peace, and purpose. Parents, this is not just about reducing screen time. This is about taking back the spiritual leadership of our homes. It’s time to reclaim the dinner table, the quiet moments, the family walk, the car ride, the bedtime conversation, and the sacred space our children desperately need. Because our kids don’t just need less screen time. They need more sacred time. More presence. More prayer. More wonder. More Scripture. More Jesus.

Ep#72 - The Battle for our Children (Part 3)

This is Part 3 of our “The Battle for Our Children” series — The Battle for Our Girls.Our daughters are growing up in a world we never had to face. In this episode of You Are The Man Podcast, we sit down for a father-led discussion on the hidden ways social media is shaping our girls’ identity, friendships, mental health, purity, and sense of worth.Based on key points from The Anxious Generation, we unpack why social media appears to harm girls more deeply than boys—through constant comparison, perfectionism, relational aggression, emotional contagion, loneliness, sexual pressure, and online predation.This is not just a conversation about screen time. This is a conversation about formation.Social media promises connection, but too often delivers comparison. It offers belonging, but leaves many girls more anxious, isolated, and insecure. And as fathers, we cannot afford to be passive while algorithms, influencers, strangers, and culture compete for the hearts of our daughters.
