STRONG DADS!

I'm so busy, I'm so busy!  Have you ever felt this way or even made this statement?  The truth is, you probably are so busy, but the question is, "are you being lazy?"   During this show,  Hutch and Kyle challenge each other and Strong Dads with just how busy they are.  What the research shows is that most of us are busy doing things that simply occupy time, but have little to...

Would your kids say your are mean?  That's a loaded question!  Maybe we could help clarify by defining words such as mean, strict, or permissive.  These are often ways that our kids perceive us.  The question then might be, which one is best?  Or, is there even a better approach to your parenting?   This week Strong Dads dives into what effective parenting looks like especially from the dad. ...

Are you in the Fight?  Whether you realize it or not, you are!  The fight is something that every man finds themselves in.  It is the fight for your marriage, the fight for your family, the fight for leading your home and protecting the ones you love against all that is seeking to destroy the good in your life.  In today's show Strong Dads interviews TC Eckstein from The Fight. TC along with...

Why were you even born?  Wow, what kind of question is that?  Well, that's the kind of question that I sometimes hear men ask themselves in the middle of a coaching session; "Why was I even born?"  The question comes from the idea that many of us wander around through life never quite knowing what our purpose or place in life is.  During this show we talk about how as dads, we can h...

Every year around New Years Day people start talking about setting new goals.  Sometime before the end of January they are already looking back with failure in their mind.  What happened? Goal setting is not bad in and or itself.  But if the goals we set are outside of our daily living habits or lifestyle, we are only setting ourselves up for failure.  We must first study the value system of our l...

Insanity is sometimes defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.  That's what New Year's Resolutions can often feel like as well.  To help prevent this outcome Kyle and Hutch tackle the concept of assessing your past.  In particular, assessing how well you did in 2022.  Would you consider your year a win or loss? Were there specifics that you can name...

If you have a problem in any of your relationships I can promise you that it comes down to one word, TRUST! Trust is the foundation for every relationship.  Whether it is a business relationship or a marriage, without trust it is doomed to fail.   The problem is that most of us can be pretty ignorant about what trust is and how to build and maintain it.   In every relationship there is a giving or...

Have you been struggling with your place in life?  Maybe it's your job or your marriage.  Whatever it is, there is a good chance you are in the struggle because you are applying pressure to things you cannot move or change.   In this show, Kyle Crofford takes the mic to tell his story of this problem.  After months and even years of battling the challenges of his work, he came to a basic real...

The 5th commandment says that we should honor our mother and father.  This sounds like common sense when we are talking about little kids still in the house.  But what about when we are adults?  Do we still strive to honor our parents when we are out or their house and even raising our own family?  Whether we continue to honor our parents or not has significant implications for our society.  We ha...

Wow! That's a harsh question.  But the truth is that we all fail at certain times in our role as fathers.  Whether we are not available, say the wrong words, do the wrong things, or simply don't even recognize that we are in the wrong.  We all fall short!  In this episode, Kyle and Hutch get right to the source of how we improve ourselves when it comes to being a father.  Becoming more i...

We've all heard about the importance of being thankful. We hear it in church and we learned about it in school, but what's the big deal?  Do I really need to be thankful?  It depends.  What quality of life do you want?  If you desire a high quality of life, then the answer is a resounding yes! If you don't really care about the quality of life, then maybe the answer is no.   The lat...

Is work a have to or a want to for you?  All of us have been guilty at one time or another of making a statement like, "I have to go to work today", and yes, you may very well have to.  But, the question of whether you are doing what you are made to do or not will be answered when you can think more often with the mindset of wanting to go to work.   As men we were made to work.  Maybe th...

Genesis 3:5 "For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." This is the "fall of man". Words such as Pride, Arrogance, Selfishness, and Self-Righteousness, are just some of the many ways that we exhibit our desire to be the god of our own life.  If you don't think you struggle with this, that is likely yo...

Divisiveness is nothing new in human culture.  Since the time of Cain and Able we have found things to argue about.  But, is there a way to reduce or even eliminate this divisiveness?  The easy answer is yes. The real answer is yes, but not easily.  We must come to grip with our own human biases and limits to know and understand.  In order to do this we must change our mindset and approach to mimi...

Who are you?  How would you answer this question?  Many of us could approach this question from multiple perspectives.  We could identify by our occupation, our gender, our family, or even our faith.  The list could be long, but the bigger question is, How's your identity working for you?  Do you see yourself winning in your life or more frequently checking a box in the loser column?  Check o...

Part 2 is a must listen to show!  In this part we discuss the process of helping the Controller/Abuser.  This is important because it is our only chance at breaking the cycle of abuse in the relationship.  No one likes to be abused and no one likes to be considered an abuser.  It is a very dark side of human relationships, but it is a serious side that we can no longer afford to look the other way...
