You Need a Band of Brothers // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
Stephen Mansfield spoke at our church's men's retreat in 2019 and really hit home the need for a band of brothers. Study after study shows that men are lonely like never before.

B-Side Vulnerability // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
True transparency is a rare thing these days. While we may still ask for prayers on social media, it's typically for someone else.

The ADHD Adrenaline Connection // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
As a kid, I had a hard time focusing on schoolwork...or pretty much any work that I didn't find interesting.

By December 31st of 2020, the whole "vision" thing might be played out. It's a pretty obvious thing to latch on to, but all the same, it's cool right now. We need vision. We need it as men, as individuals, but also for our families and our nation.

Start. Stop. Keep. - A New Year's Resolution Alternative // Truck Talk Thursday
New Year's resolutions have long been out of favor. Personally, I like marking the new year with some goals, but I also don't like a lot of structure on those goals. One of the best ways to set goals for the new year is to do so with some reflection on the past year. That's where the Start. Stop. Keep. method comes into play.
