Everyone is in a fight of some kind.  Whether it is the fight for a job, your marriage, raising your kids, or just trying to be healthy.  We fight things that we believe we are being attacked by.  How can we identify more clearly what or who we are fighting and then the big question is: How should we fight? http://rocksolidfamilies.org Support the show #Rocksolidfamilies,#familytherapy,#marriageco...

Are you tired of the senseless shootings?  Yes, a rhetorical question, but the senselessness will continue until we get to the root of the problem.  As we hear all the crazy talk and blame about what is going on, we see constant "cherry-picking" of solutions.

We all have faith.  The question is, what is our faith based on?  Do we make decisions based on what science has proclaimed as fact or truth, or do we use something else as our foundation?  Many of us have completely fallen to the idea that science is the end all be all for determining how we make our decisions.  But, we must proceed with caution.  In this show, Hutch and Kyle discuss the many tim...

Abortion has been a hotly debated topic for decades in the United States.  It has largely been consider a "woman's right" topic, her right to choose.  But what do men have to do with this topic?  Men tend to walk away from this subject or sometimes are pushed away.  Either way, they are not involved in this topic like they deserve to be.   Kyle and Hutch take on the topic of abortio...

True leadership is hard!  We spend years as parents, teachers, and coaches preaching the importance of our youth becoming leaders.  But, as many of us have seen over the past couple of generations, we have not seen the good leaders that we hoped for.  We now have a greater need for good leaders now than ever.  What has happened to all of our preaching and teaching?  Why aren't we getting more...

Do you dream, set goals, start the process, but somewhere along the line your plans get sidelined?  Do you have a list of undone projects or dreams that never became a reality?  This is part of all of our lives, but if it is happening too frequently or with big dreams, it will leave us with a bitter taste and a sense of resentment in our lives.   Self-sabotage is real and it often is really costly...

How's your family doing?  That sounds like such a random question that  could provoke a host of responses, but go ahead and give it some thought.  How is your family doing?  Do you believe you are part of a strong and healthy family that is adding to not just your home environment, but to our society in general?  One of the things that we often hear from people camping in the great outdoors i...

Do you believe in God?  How about just a superior being?  Do you really not know what to believe?  Why is believing in Jesus so important?  These are many more were some of the questions that I had as I came through my understanding of who I was and who God is.  This is often not a one time learning experience where you hear it one time and you believe it.  For me, this has been and continues to b...

If you're like most of us men, you probably don't care much for doing homework.  Especially of the school variety.  There are always so many other interesting things to be doing with your time than homework.  Homework on tasks that seem meaningless or uninteresting can almost feel painful.  But, that begins to change when you can see the potential payoff for such homework.  Us men are al...

When was the last time you were lost?  Prior to recognizing that you were lost, how confident were you that you were not lost?  People do not set out with the goal of getting lost.  It takes too much time, energy, and lack of purpose to be lost.  Being lost creates confusion, anxiety, and desperation in our decision making abilities.   If we are going to avoid getting lost we must understand a cou...

John 16:33     "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

So guys go to work waiting for the work to provide value to them.  Men with this attitude tend to  operate in a victim mindset.  If something goes wrong at work, they feel like work treated them wrong.  Strong Dads look at work as something they can add value to.  They go to work thinking about how they can make work valuable rather than the other way around.  What a difference in mindset! The big...

Is your fuel tank running on empty?  This question may be a little more difficult to answer than you think.  You see, most of us don't realize that we are running on only one fuel tank, but we are running multiple engines from that fuel tank.  So while one engine may seem to be running hard and fast, another engine is going to have to sacrifice some of its fuel to support the fast-running eng...
