All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry

because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and

admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.

Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of

this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star

And in this episode, I'm very privileged to have as a special guest, C.R. Wiley, or Chris

Wiley, returning now, I believe for the second time, we talked about his book on Tom Bommedadale

from the Lord of the Rings series. The first time he came on, today we're going to be talking

about biblical manhood, households,

fatherhood, young men in pastoral ministry, the whole nine yards. So Chris, welcome to the show.

Well, thanks for having me back, Joel. It's great be with you. Absolutely. All right. Well, let's go
