FriDudes - Getting Real. Pursuing Truth.

Welcome to Fringe 5 and a shot at redemption.   Listen, when you attempt to tackle politics, one can fall and get hurt at times.  We won't stay here forever.  Just have some very important bridge builders to contemplate with Woke to Awake.  Here you go! Thanks for joining the Fringe this week.  Love that Vaquero Guapo!  He is great quality control for me.  Point.  Counterpoint.  Point.  Count...

Yes!  Welcome back to FriDudes and good to see you again!  Oh hey, you’re new.   You need a lift?  Striving to better understand this broken planet?  Need some hope amidst hopelessness?  You have the right pod.  Today, we give tribute to Mike.  A good reflection for you and your own life.  Mike bet on hope.  Mike impacted/encouraged many.  How about you?  Here you go... Deep!  Thank you Bold Brian...

Oh no, you clicked play on this one.  I'm not sure you want to listen.  It's going to get really uncomfortable.  I'm warning you, if you are weak or thin-skinned please bail right now.  Fine, ok, you want to stick around.  That's on you.  We are going to eat some Vaquero vegetables.  Here you go... Ummmmm, can I have some dessert please to help wash down the taste of these vege...

Oh yeaaaaaah!  You are in!  The Deeper side of FriDudes as we take a hard look and strive to make sense of this broken planet.  What works in life and what doesn't. Thanks again for joining us this week.  If you made it this far, I bet you feel lighter.  Hopefully a bit wiser.  Some of you have been affected by COVID-19 big time!  You or someone you know is fighting for their lives or livelih...

Thanks for joining the Fringe this week.  There's plenty on this segment to think about.  Why do you always want more?  Why do you always want to be right?  Why are we willing to be so right that we will damage a relationship for it?  Skeptics let me equip you some more.  If you know someone that calls themself a Christian yet is boastful/strongly opinionated ask them the following.  1.  You...

Right on!  You pushed play.  You're back!  Special thanks to those joining for the first time.  Special edition today.  Easter - Good Friday FriDude edition.  Many of you know the history.  Some of you have read it.  I bet most of you have not heard it read like this.  Here you go... Word!  Word backed up with real results.  Real case studies.  You can debate history.  Very hard to argue resu...

Yes!  Welcome back to the Fringe series.  As we further delve, this is going to get more uncomfortable.  We look at the good, bad and the ugly.  If you are looking for a squeaky clean, perfect pod, you've got the wrong one.  Here you go... Thank you so much for joining The Fringe this week.  We are real.  We are raw.  NZ Emily is right, we really do care and we try to see this and empathize w...

Welcome back to FriDudes!  May what you are about to listen make you and those you love stronger.  If not, we don't deserve your return.  That's the truth Ruth.  Here you go... Word!  Thank you so much for joining us.  Do you feel a bit stronger?  A bit lighter, better.  If so, can you share it with the ones you know could you use a lift?  Maybe even create your own Dudes group.   Back t...

Welcome to a special edition of FriDudes.  Today, just one dude, DJTommyP, getting real and pursuing Truth.  Why?  Well, I was on the road, CO, UT and AZ this week for work.  So I don’t have the luxury of the other dudes to lean on.  So, solo special this week.   As I fly and see more people in protective masks more than ever, we are going to tackle coronavirus this week.  You can’t avoid it in so...

Thanks for joining FriDudes this week!  Bunch of flawed dudes getting real and pursuing Truth.  If you are married or want to get married, buckle up.  This is your episode.    Right on!  You can debate God.  Very, very hard to argue results.  If you are married, you will have storms.  If you tell me everything is perfect, amazing, puppy dogs and fairy tales, I'm going to tell you that is a re...

Thanks for joining us at FriDudes!  We are a bunch of flawed guys getting real and pursuing Truth.  What works in life and not.  Today is St. Valentine's Day, so of course we continue talking about love.  No matter how hard and cold you or someone that you know may be, you/they are wired for love.  We get into what many say is the greatest Valentine's promise ever.  Stick with us and Str...

LOVE - one of the best topics to discuss.  Everyone wants it.  We are all wired for it.  Whether you are married or not, have kids or not, this applies to you.  Truth, love requires work and action.  Whether you are hopeless right now or hopeful, this listen is for you.  Love will give you/increase your hope.   So good!  Thank you for joining this week.  Whether you agree with everything stated in...

Thank you for joining us at FriDudes.  Where you get to listen to a bunch of flawed dudes getting real and pursuing Truth - what works and doesn't in life.  This week, John (age 28), steps up to talk about his trauma as a child (being abused and molested).  Either you or someone you know needs to listen to this.  For any weighed down on this front, you are definitely not alone.  Lifting it wi...

Hey, welcome back to FriDudes!  For those joining us for the first time, thanks for giving us a shot.  Disclaimer, we are a bunch of flawed dudes pursuing Truth.  Not everything that comes out of our mouths is right.  Normally, I'm pumped to post up an episode like 'Bold Brian'.  This week I feel heavy.  We tackle abortion.  If you boldly listen, can you do me a favor and make sure...

Thanks for joining us at FriDudes!  This week we are led by Bold Brian.  Forgive me as we had some recording challenges in the beginning, but we got most of his story on his brain injury and how he is handling it.  Very moving!  Powerful!  We end in a showdown between Rockin Rick Ravage and Vaquero Guapo.  Listen in and judge for yourself. Here you go... Wow!  First and foremost, thank you Bold Br...

Welcome back to FriDudes!  For you first-timers, buckle up.  We are a bunch of Flawed Dudes, getting real and pursuing Truth.  This week we tackle 'I don't wanna go!'  Most of you didn't or still don't want to go to church.  Maybe the church sucked or maybe you just aren't/weren't ever in the mood.  Maybe you think this is a complete waste of time.  We talk about...

Merry Christmas and welcome to a very special, bonus kid edition of FriDudes.  Some select brave and bold kids will be reading the original Christmas story.  I love the innocence and sweetness of their voices.  As for us parents, you know your heart for your kids.  Share this listen with them and discuss?  As I like to say, this story is either totally true or bull.  You get to choose.  I choose t...

Leading into Christmas.  We take a look at the beginning of Matthew.  A long, long, time ago, there was a savior/messiah promised.  The greatest names back in history that the Jewish, Muslim and Christian faiths admire (Moses, David, Isaiah, etc.) prophesied this would happen.  Many, many years it happened.  Our own calendars reflect it.  Today, you get to choose.  

Bless your hearts that want to share with and encourage others.  If you are hesitant, you are absolutely not alone.  You don't want to freak people out.  On the flip side, you don't want to miss an opportunity to encourage someone.  Reminds me of the time Rick shared on seeing a mutual friend of his wife's.  They small talked and one week later that guy died.  Rick regretted/wondere...

If we are bringing our A game, you should be stronger after every listen.  If not, we don't deserve you.  For the Christian believers to the atheist/skeptics, there will be points in life in which you ask why.  God, if you are real, why do kids get cancer?  Why did my loved ones have to die?  Why are things so hard for me and easier for others?  These are legit questions.  Please know even Je...

Phil and Amy have been married for 14+ years and counting.  They have three young children.  They get real about the challenges of marriage.  How they started out awesome and then found themselves in a very dark/challenging spot.  They courageously share what works in their marriage and what didn't.  

A hard look at religion and what pushes people away.  On the flip side, what keeps others coming back.  We discuss Truth and the gospel.  What really is the Good News?  Why is it so simple yet we humans make it so complicated?
