Jeff and Ty joined us to talk about overcoming loneliness and building community right where you are.

In a culture where garage doors close before neighbors can say hello and isolation is the norm, this book offers a simple solution.

-Ever have a big goal that you wanted to complete, but things got in the way?

-Do you wish you had a group of guys or neighbors to spend time with?

-What is an often overlooked mission field?

-Can your family get involved with Party in the Front?

Today Glen Henry joins us. He started making videos years ago about real life, including the messy stuff. He is the creator of Beleaf In Fatherhood that has hundreds of thousands of followers.

His life was changed when his wife asked him what his 5 year plan for their family was? And then she walked out of the room.

He was a hip-hop artist that didn't want kids and now he is one of the most powerful voices reshaping what it means to be a modern dad. Glen and his wife have a podcast called How Married Are You?

And Glen has a new book coming out called Father Yourself First: Everything You Need to Become the Father Your Family Deserves.

Glen grew up without a father figure in his life and made a decision to become a great father. He saw an example of what he wanted to become when a youth pastor invited him into his life. Glen saw how the youth pastor's family lived and that was something he had never seen.

On this episode we talk about:

-Having a Poverty Mentality

-Comparison is the thief of joy

-Glen's first prayer was "God, please kill me!"

-When Glen called his dad seeking permission to commit suicide

-Presence is a gift (great time of year to focus on this)

-Patience is long-suffering
