Here's what led me to this conclusion.

Now as a single man, I am trying to figure out what intimacy looks like apart from the physical act of sex. How can I cultivate intimacy in my friendships? How can you cultivate deeper intimacy with your spouse?

Loneliness is something we all struggle with at some point in our life. I reflect on my loneliness in light of Easter Weekend. Holy Saturday was a dark and lonely day for the followers of Jesus because they did not understand the work Jesus was doing in preparation for Resurrection Sunday. Don't quit on Saturday and miss what's to come on Sunday. There is HOPE.

This season as I reviewed each episode, one theme continued to emerge which was that "Communication is key." I realized that each guest spoke to a different aspect of communication that is vital in our everyday relationships.
Some of the different aspects discussed were being vulnerable with your spouse or kids, surrounding yourself with wise friends, and having clear expectations.
Thanks again for listening to this season of DADtalks!

There is a story from the Bible that is found in Numbers 11 that begins with the Israelites complaining to Moses about wanting to have meat to eat instead of just manna. It ends with a severe plague and the place being called Kibroth Hattaavah or "graves of craving."
Even though this story took place thousands of years ago, it can teach us a very valuable lesson on contentment that is applicable to us today.

You ever find yourself in the middle of an argument asking yourself, "What is going on? How did we get here?"
That's where I found myself during a conversation with an unsatisfied customer. Later as I processed what happened, I realized the lessons I learned from dealing with these type customers are useful in everyday relationships as well.

Overthinking -
Does the following describe you: Thinking too much about something, or putting too much time into thinking about or analyzing something, in a way that is more harmful than helpful? Did you just spend five minutes going back and forth in your mind trying to decide if this is true about you? Yeah, you definitely are an overthinker, then.
In this episode, JT shares his struggle with overthinking and how he pulls himself out of the overthinking loop.
