You Need a Vision // Truck Talk Thursday

Vision. A concept of our future desired state of being that aligns with the principles we hold dear. Every man needs some vision of the future he wants to attain. Without this, he is, as the Bible states, unrestrained, running wild. That may sound good, but without a clear direction of where we want to go, who we want to be, we end up in a place we really don't want to be and wonder how we got there.

A Pound of Pluck // Truck Talk Thursday

Pluck is old-school speak for being action-oriented and having a good bit of sticktoittiveness (yes that's a word) even when things are hard. It's dogged determination and resilience, and it's what makes for fortune and favor. And, it's a whole lot better than luck.

Dave Hollis was a high-profile exec at Disney, but he left all of that behind to focus on his wife's (Rachel Hollis) budding business. As someone who works with his wife, I was eager to speak to Dave about the challenges they face and what it's like to be in a business where his wife is out front.

The Church & Men // Truck Talk Thursday

The modern church is continually trying to sell men what we don't need, and it is the cause of many men becoming disenfranchised with their local churches. I had a great conversation with Lonnie Berger of Every Man a Warrior and we talked about the mission field that is men and how churches are missing the mark. We touched on a thought that I expound on in this episode.

Taking Life's Punches & Hitting Back Hard with Kolby (Kay) Kolibas

It's easy to see someone as a creative and entrepreneur-type and think about how cool it is that they get to do their own thing. Actually, that is pretty cool. But the risks and challenges are real, and when family challenges arise, it is often felt by everyone in the business.

Reward Your Children's Imagination // Truck Talk Thursday

If you want your children to stand apart in the society and time they've been born into, help them to learn to imagine. We live in a world of constant distractions. On a monthly basis I hear of friends leaving social media because they realize how much of their time and mental energy it is stealing from them. The problem is real, and it's worse for kids that have grown up in a world without boredom.

How a Wife Encourages Her Husband // Truck Talk Thursday

Summer, my wife, and I are going through The Five Love Languages book. We read it over 10 years ago and while I was hesitant to go through it again, I have a new perspective and a lot more insight than I did a decade ago. My love language is words of affirmation. Tell me I'm going a good job and my love tank is all filled up. However, this brought up some nuances in how words of respect and encouragement ought to be used between a husband and wife.

Don't Fake it Until You Make It // Truck Talk Thursday

We've all heard the phrase "Fake it until you make it" and while the heart behind it may be good, like so many things it can be taken to the extreme and we lose our authentic selves trying to hard to "fake it".  In this episode, I talk about why faking it is never a good idea.

On Abortion // Truck Talk Thursday

I'm not typically one to jump into the fray on every political or social topic, but this is one we need to have our heads and hearts straight on. When does human life begin? When does personhood begin? In this episode I make the case that they begin at conception, and I do it without quoting scripture, though the Bible is also clear on this.
