Summary

Jerrad and Kaleb talk about fatherhood, fear, and what it means to trust God with your future.  They reflect on  moments that hit hard and draw from Judges 7 to show where true courage begins.  This is a call for men to lead with peace, and to stop chasing comfort. To stand with courage that comes from knowing who holds tomorrow.

What You’ll hear:
• Why chasing the wrong things will leave you empty
• What a crib and a cup of coffee taught about time
• What Gideon’s story says about fear and leadership
• Why theology matters more than positivity
• How to lead when the world feels unstable
• Why the future belongs to Jesus, not to chance

Tune in to lead with courage and rest in what’s true.

0:04.0

Happy New Year. Still kind of blown away that we're already in 2024. Just as a reminder,

0:08.6

I've said this a million times. I know I'm a broken record here, but I'm going to Google right now,

0:13.5

as I have you here with me. What is the average age, average life expectancy U U.S. male. 77.28 years. 77.28 years is the average life

0:30.8

expectancy. If you live here in the U.S., just as a kind of fun facts to think about if you're in Canada, it's 81.

0:39.3

That feels significant.

0:40.9

84 if you're in Japan, 78 if you're in China.

Anyway, if you're here in the United States, you're listening to this.

into the ground of your mind. And it's something you'll always look back at and remember, a timestamp

1:22.3

that you'll always remember. And COVID obviously was a huge one for all of us. Our whole, all of our

1:26.8

worlds got massively

1:28.5

shaken up during that time. And so you think back that flag, 2020 was a super weird year. And for so many

1:35.0

of us, that still feels, for me, that still feels like it wasn't that long ago, you know,

1:39.0

like I remember vividly. I remember everything getting shut down and things happening and all
