What Do You Really Want? // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
We've got to be honest with ourselves. We say that we "Want" something, but so often do the opposite. A competing hierarchy of desires causes us to miss out on becoming the man we long to be. At the end of the day, if we aren't achieving our "wants" it's because we have other, stronger desires that are winning out.

Memento Aeternum // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
In contrast to Memento Mori, Memento Aeternum calls us to "Remember that we are Eternal". Why is this significant? When we have too much focus on this life being our only shot, we can get locked in indecision. Every decision has consequences, and most decisions mean selecting one potentially good thing and leaving 5 other good things on the table, never to be tried.

Why MLMs are a Bad Idea // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
Confession time: I used to be in Amway. Yeah, it's a bit odd for me to even think back on that time. But, I was young and it was my first introduction to the concept of being successful. Coming from humble beginnings as I did, the idea of making it big was tremendously powerful. If nothing else, I learned how to dream for the future I wanted and saw a few examples of other people who started with little and made much.

The Greatest Dad Ever // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
I've heard from a number of fathers how they long for their kids to know the joys of an 80s childhood, free of technology and plenty of time outside with your friends. I've often longed for this as well...even as an adult! There is no mistaking that the world we live in has changed. Things have gotten soft and along with it, ourselves and the next generation are softer. But, there are some good things as well.

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. But, are we even aware of how isolated we are? Do we recognize the need for loyal men in our lives that will stand shoulder to shoulder with us?

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. We tend to showcase the good times and leave out the negative, and that actually makes sense in a public forum. When life is delivering us a swift kick to our salty hammock, we don't need trite responses: we need a brother.
