Feeling overwhelmed by the weight of work, fatherhood, marriage, and staying in shape? In this raw and motivational episode, Ben Barker reminds you of one powerful truth: no one’s coming to save you—and that’s a good thing. Learn how to take ownership of your health, lead your family with strength, and build the kind of life your kids will be proud to follow. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up with purpose. Every. Single. Day.

I break down Chapter 2 of How God Makes Men by Patrick Morley—the Principle of a Greater Good. Drawing from personal conversations with his dad and brother during their weekly men's book study. God uses trials in our marriage, money, work, and health to shape us into stronger, more faithful men.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month—and today we’re diving into a real and raw conversation that every dad needs to hear.

I’m joined by Coach Sean Patrick, host of the Just Call Dad podcast, for an honest talk about fatherhood, anxiety, injuries, and how men can stay strong through it all. We both share moments when anxiety hit hard—and how community helped us through it. We also unpack what it means to “stay in the game” as a dad when life throws you setbacks, especially through injuries or mental health struggles.

If you’re a father looking for encouragement, practical tips, and a reminder that you’re not alone—this one’s for you.

💥 Topics we cover:

• Men’s mental health and why it matters

• Coping with anxiety as a dad

• Staying active and resilient through injuries

• Why your family needs you in the fight—mind and body

Tune in, share with a fellow dad, and remember: strong dads aren’t perfect—they just keep showing up.
