STRONG DADS!

These are some crazy times we are living in right now.  Whether you agree or disagree with how things are being handled concerning Covid-19 is not really the issue.  The issue is how are you handling yourself as a Strong Dad?   I've heard many people acting crazy and nearly hysterical.  I've seen people getting angry and pointing fingers.  I've witnessed doomsday preparation at the...

What's your hobby?  Kyle and Hutch discuss the importance of challenging yourself with a hobby.  Hobbies help to give us a break from some of the routine of life, but they also provide the opportunity to open our minds to new growth and learning.  They provide a means of relieving stress and keeping a healthier perspective on a busy life.   Hobbies may be something you do to relax or somethin...

Kyle and Hutch acknowledge that temptations are part of their everyday life.  Whether it's a temptation to eat one more chocolate chip cookie or lust over another woman.  Temptations never seem to be in short supply.  We must understand that we are never going to be free of temptation, but that doesn't mean we cannot avoid the pitfalls that temptations lead us to...Sin!   Sin is what fli...

As a Strong Dad, what are some of our primary responsibilities?  Your list may be a long one, but one thing many of us men have left off our list is the responsibility to take care of children and widows.  Yes, we are called to take care of children and widows.   This Strong Dads show goes right after this subject. Specifically, we address the responsibility of taking care of children.  Our specia...

Why do men need to be in a small group?  All men need someone to hold them accountable, to challenge them, to encourage them, and have fun with them.  Especially in today's culture in which many young men grow up with no positive male presence in their life.  Boys grow up without guidance, discipline, and encouragement from a strong father figure.  That leads them to enter manhood as nothing...

We all have scars.  Maybe from a bike wreck as a kid, or falling out of tree while building a treehouse.  Scars are created by wounds.  Wounds hurt, but they typically heal. But what do they look like when they are healed?  What about psychological and emotional wounds?  They also leave us with scars.  These scars are not apparent on the flesh, but often are experienced by the mind.  They lead to...

Do your kids sometimes get the best of you?  Do they ever bring out your ugly anger?  Kyle and Hutch share some of their experiences where anger got the best of them as a dad.  While the stories now may make us laugh, the anger can often lead to bad outcomes.  We say and do things that we wished we never said.  We may even do things that negatively impact our kids for a lifetime.  Hutch and Kyle d...

Like it or not, we all have masks that we wear.  Some we seem to wear for certain occasions or in certain settings.  Others we seem to wear almost all the time.  Whether it be the way we act, the clothes we wear, or the style of life we want to live.  No matter the case, we have an image to uphold.  The question is, what image do you try to uphold?  How did you go about determining that this would...

All of the guest we have on Strong Dads bring a special message to our audience.  Their message usually comes from an experience or lesson that they want to share with others.  Frank is no different, but how he goes about it is as remarkable as I've ever seen.  Many people have a lesson or two that they can share with us.  Frank is different in that he shares everyday by his actions.  Day in...

Have you ever experienced what you thought of as God not answering your prayers?  How about when God's timing doesn't seem to match yours?  These are the kinds of things that cause us to doubt whether God really hears us or not.  Don't worry, you are in good  company if you have ever felt this way.  Sarah and Abraham, Moses, Mary and Martha, even Jesus sometimes had second thoughts....
