One of our absolute favorite things in the world is to come to your local church and to do a dad-tired one-day conference. We do these all over the country. We've even done them around the world. We're currently in talks with some different countries to do one-of-day conferences. In several states, we have some on the books already. But we would love to come to your church and do a one-day conference. If you feel like the men of your church could just use some encouragement, if you want to kick off your men's ministry, if you feel like the guys in your church could use some gospel-centered healing, and you just don't really know where to begin with that. We would love to partner with you. We take care of all the content. We just ask you as a church to host it. If you're interested in having a conversation about this, you could reach out to us. If you go to dadtired.com and click the conferences tab, you can learn more about what it looks like to host a one-day dad-tired conference at your church. We're also going to be doing one at the Army base in Hawaii in April, and we are currently looking for churches in Hawaii that we can partner with while we are there. If you are in

Hawaii and you're connected to a local church or maybe your pastor at a church in Hawaii, we would

love to connect with you. Just shoot us an email and let us know that you are in Hawaii. We would

love to get that conversation going as well. Before we jump into today's episode, I do want to

thank my friends over at Tindale for sponsoring today's episode. Tindale has a Courage for Life Bible for men. And if you're like me, you've probably opened your Bible at times. You've stared at the page and you've thought to yourself, I have no idea where to even start. You're definitely not alone. A lot of guys want to grow spiritually. They just don't know how to study the Bible without feeling overwhelmed. And that's why I'm excited to tell you about the courage for life study Bible for men. This isn't just a Bible with a few notes sprinkled in. There are 1,464 Bible studies built right into the Bible itself. That's a study on every single page of the scripture. No matter where

you open it, you can jump in and know exactly what to do. Each page walks you through four simple

steps. You pray, you observe, you interpret, and you apply. So you're not just reading the word,

you're actually living it. And throughout this Bible, it lays out what they call seven steps to

courage,

which is going to help you replace cultural lies with biblical truth. You'll uncover who God

made you to be and you'll lead with strength that is rooted in grace. And if you want to go deeper,

you can actually scan the page with the filament app and unlock thousands of additional study

notes, videos, maps, and even a full audio Bible at no

extra cost. You can check out the Courage for Life study Bible for men. There's also a

women's version, too, if you want to grab one for your wife. We'll put a link in the show

notes so you can get connected to that. That being said, let's dive into today's episode.

Joel, I've been looking forward to this conversation, man, for weeks. I'm super

pumped to have you on the podcast today and get to talk to you a little bit. For the audience who may

not be familiar with you, tell us who you are and what you're up to these days. Yeah, I mean, I think

the best way to describe me is I'm just a Bible nerd. I just really love the word of God, and I love kind of exploring it

within the context of community. And so I'm a dad. I've got four kids. We've got teenagers. Life is

wild for us. Three boys, 14, 13, and 12. Everybody has, no, 14, 13, and 11, everybody has aged up. And then a little girl,
