  • A Man's Job During Birth
    Oct 29 2024

    Hey everyone, let’s talk about the role we, as husbands, play during childbirth. When it comes to delivery day, we’re there to be our wives' protectors. Hospitals can operate like they’re running on an assembly line – a one-size-fits-all approach that might not match your family's birth plan or vision for the birth of your child. Our job is to protect that vision and make sure she isn’t pressured or emotionally pushed into decisions she doesn’t want to make.

    We also talk about how a doula can be a game-changer. Doulas know the ropes and understand the subtle ways hospital staff might suggest interventions or changes that might not align with your goals. They’re a support system for both of you, helping advocate for your family's wishes and navigate those situations with confidence.

    So, let’s remember that our role is to stand by her, and be her voice when she needs it. It’s our job to make sure her birth plan is respected every step of the way!

  • Rings of Power Lame But Important
    Sep 10 2024

    In our conversation, we explore the importance of the Rings of Power narrative and its relevance to Christians. We discuss our frustration with the poor execution of recent adaptations and the trend of changing beloved stories. Together, we delve into the significance of the hero's journey and how storytelling resonates with reality. We examine the manipulation of narratives to promote moral relativism and the rejection of absolute good and evil. Our discussion also touches on the portrayal of female protagonists and the lack of earned favor in certain narratives. Throughout, we emphasize the importance of standing up for truth and morality in a postmodern society. We highlight the need for Christians to show the goodness and solidness of our convictions, rather than conforming to the culture. We also mention the rise of redemptive arc movies and the search for something more meaningful in popular culture. Together, we stress the importance of speaking the truth with conviction and love, even if it goes against the mainstream narrative.
