All Pro Dad Men’s Study Week Four: Know Your Motive
In week 4 of the All Pro Dad’s men’s study, we tackle an idea that has almost become the mantra of our culture today. It is advice that is given to people looking for answers or trying to make decisions. You’ve probably had someone suggest that you “follow your heart” in making your decisions […]

How to Help Your Spouse Be a Better Parent
Today I’m excited for Dr. Meg Meeker to share with us about how to help your spouse be a better parent. The daily demands of life often distract us from helping others, especially our spouses. I’m paying close attention.

I’m continually working hard to choose my words wisely.
