Ep 25: Tools of the Trade w/ Jeff Van Atta

What is a tool: a device that adds in accomplishing a task.  Or something used in performing an operation or necessary in the practice of a vocation such as a scholars books are his tools. Humans are the only creature who uses tools to create tools. Its important to have the right tools for the job.   But how do you know the right tools to have? How do we develop new tools? What tools can we use to help us grow? Do the old tools you have serve you anymore? Which tools do you need to maintain, and which ones can you get rid of? What tools has God given you?  Are you willing to be the tool in Gods Hand?

Men’s Alliance

In this raw conversation - Goose and Sunshine talk frankly about men’s depression and anxiety—the “black dog,” the heavy-blanket days, the pride that fuels isolation—and the simple, proven actions that bring hope back: say it out loud, call a brother, pray the name of Jesus, lift heavy, get in the woods, show up anyway.

In the U.S., call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (24/7).
