So for those of you who are new, about maybe almost two years ago,

Aaron and I started a podcast called Battle Ready,

and it came out of a time when I was working through cancer and

was writing the last arrow and the last chapter of the book is called Battle Ready

and talking about the battle that we're all in in life.

And Aaron had this idea of starting this conversation

around the theme of Battle Ready.

So I don't know if we've been doing it for a year?

No, it's been almost two years now.

Yeah.

So we thought this morning we would just use that format and I have our first battle

ready in Irvine, California in Orange County.

That's awesome.

Come on.

And we wanted to talk about a very personal theme.

And our general theme is fathers and sons sons but really that's more of a

metaphor it's not it's not just fathers and sons it can be mothers and daughters

it can be human to human because what we really want to talk about is how to pass on values

and how to

engage in relationships where faith can be passed on in a healthy way.

And we wanted to talk about it from our own personal journey together as a dad and son

and pull back the curtain a little bit so some of it is always a little bit
