Barry examines how to make decisions under pressure, “in the dark,” defined as lacking present information. He contrasts cultural lies—real men decide quickly, don’t hesitate, don’t ask for help—with wisdom, counsel, prayer, and pausing.

Men are created in God’s image. They don’t need to build an identity, but uncover what’s been buried. Barry digs into the broken image that leads to “father hunger." This drives men to seek identity through approval, achievement, addiction, religion, career, reputation, politics, or ministry. But what could true restoration look like?

Barry confronts “sucking up” as disingenuous flattery used to gain favor with authority, calling it manipulative, rooted in insecurity and the fear of man, and harmful to families and culture. He links this behavior to a modern obsession with being “spectacular,” where showy displays in social media, workplaces, and churches can overshadow truth and substance. Don't let that happen!

Aaron Archer, a new dad and nurse practitioner in Knoxville, shares with Barry how he learned to be a father after growing up without a present father. Aaron shares meeting his wife Abby through hospital orientation, building a nursing career, and welcoming their daughter Ava.
He defines fatherlessness primarily as lack of presence, describes his parents’ divorce amid abuse and addiction, and explains how his single mom Rebecca provided love, sacrifice, and stability while raising three kids. Aaron discusses identity, “father hunger,” performance-driven striving, and the need to address wounds so they don’t spread, comparing healing to treating physical wounds. He emphasizes modeling faith through actions, seeking mentors, and “turning the chair” to break generational patterns.

Making sense of that statement is what every fatherless father struggles with when they first realize something missing and that something is their dad.
Keith has some strategic insight that helps illuminate all our pathways to the answer.

How does a fatherless boy become a Pastor? Growing up in a highly dysfunctional, multi-parent, multi-sibling home can stack odds against a guy to have any success in life at all. My friend Dallas Cox tells his story of healing and wholeness that emerged from brokenness and dysfunction.

Many men chose the pathway of the lone wolf to deal with their loneliness by accommodating it, giving it a place to live in their souls.
We know those lonely men don't change; they don't grow. The truth is we nurse our wounds with loneliness, and our condition worsens.
A Cadre eliminates lone wolfs.
Changed men make the difference:
Changed men change each other.
Changed men change their families.
Changed men change their cultures.

Not only at a certain time; otherwise, I would also attribute my success to the hour I prayed. It's not just the hour; it's praying without ceasing. I must always have the anointing of the Holy Spirit. That requires praying without ceasing." Katheryn Kolman “But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the Lord. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the Lord by sailing to Tarshish.” -Jonah 1:3 NLT “People in conversations will always communicate from the place of their perceived positioning and understanding.”

Men have lost the art of dreaming. Dreams are beautiful; and they are exciting and inspirational, and they are energizing and hopeful. Dreams remain fantasies until we translate and transfer those dreams into actionable plans. If dreams remain fantasies, they disappoint, frustrate, steal peace, and become a very judgmental memory.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Is it the source of all that I seek after and search for or Is God my source? My way or God’s way. On either side of the pursuit and search the same rules for the lack of or the abundance of money.

Your capacity is directly proportionate to your capabilities. My capacity is who I am, what I'm created for, why I'm created. My capabilities are my skill sets, gifts, abilities, to grow, perform well, and become a great father. Competency is closely connected. It's how well I perform.

This episode goes back before the beginning of creation. Before anything was created, the father and son existed. Father God had intentional plans for His Son. Jesus would be intricately involved in creation. That was the plan of His Father. Together, they created all that existed from beginning to end, Jesus being the center of all creation. Good fathers have intentions for their sons and daughters. These intentions, plans and designs are communicated first by words. Words that have creative power for both the present and the future. -- Got a question? Want advice?
