Goose breaks down why the term “facilitator” is eroding true leadership and how we, as men, must reclaim our God-given roles. Jesus wasn’t a facilitator—He was a leader. He didn’t ensure every voice was heard; He provided direction, guidance, and structure. And that’s exactly what’s needed today in our homes, workplaces, and communities. Being a man isn’t about feel-good facilitation—it’s about building leaders who step up, take responsibility, and set the example for others to follow. Don’t be a guy who facilitates; be a man who leads.

Johanna Stamps, a licensed grief counselor, talks about how we have to acknowledge grief and mourn in order to continue to move towards God’s vision for our life. Many items can be lost such as a job, pets, friendships, and marriages. As men, we need to take time and space to let our brain catch up to the event that has happened. Johanna shares her 7 steps included below and talks about the power of writing a closure letter on the grief you are going through. How to connect with Johanna:johannastamps.com804 944 [email protected] Men’s Alliance | How Great Men Grieve “If you loved it, and lost it, then grieve it” Grief is like an epic hike through a desolate land. 7 Steps of the Journey: 1. TRAILHEAD: AT THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY a. Set the intention to heal, to integrate b. Look for a sign you are grieving: Cognitive, Affective, Physical, Spiritual c. You ONLY work where grief is coming up, that’s the beginning d. Feel the pain (No pain, No gain)... It brings healing 2. LOOK AT THE MAP (Pssst... it’s a magical map) a. The magical map only appears as you walk forward in your grief b. It’s completely unique to you (circumstance, personality, etc.) c. Dispel misconceptions (don’t look for stages) 3. BEGIN WALKING a. Small doses as it comes up b. One thing at a time c. We cannot grieve all at one time. We wouldn’t be able to take it! d. Be creative... example: recognizing important dates (or your body will tell you) 4. GATHER WITH OTHERS - DON’T GRIEVE IN ISOLATION a. Grieving is internal - Mourning is your external or public experience of grief b. ESSENTIAL - speak about the experience of the loss, memories, etc. c. Moves from the head to the heart (READ THIS AGAIN!!!) d. Look for the 1⁄3 who are good with grief (most likely someone who has dealt with their own grief) 5. STOP FOR REST a. Sustenance for your epic journey b. Maybe learn to rest for the first time 6. EXERCISE JOY AND PAIN MUSCLE a. Like any normal ruck or hike there is joy with the pain b. Practice this often when you are grieving 7. GET TO THE LOOKOUT a. Reflect on how far you have come (when you look at the loss with less pain) b. See parts of yourself that are becoming whole again - integrating the loss c. This is OFTEN understanding who you are (e.g. identity) Sponsor: Tom 'Doc' Love CFP®, CRPC®, CRPS® [email protected] Craig Heah.

Kay C. James is a conservative leader and former President of the Heritage Foundation. She has held key roles in government, including Director of the Office of Personnel Management under President George W. Bush. Known for her work on healthcare, welfare reform, and education, James is also an advocate for limited government, free markets, and traditional family values. In this episode, Kay shares her "controversial" (in today's society) views on the roles in a marriage and a family, the duties of a husband and wife, and what marriage should look like when we are cherishing it and experiencing it the way God intended. This was a great conversation with a lot of great eye opening moments for both men and women, with the overall takeaway being how much work it takes to have a long, happy, healthy marriage like Kay of 50+ years.
