What if the greatest gift you could give your son isn’t a car, a college fund, or a successful life—but a deep sense that he is beloved?

In this episode, Jerrad sits down with Peter Goodwin and Connor Ketchum from The Quarry Project, a father–son camp in Alaska helping dads disciple their boys into biblical manhood. Together, they unpack what it really means to raise sons who know who they are, where they come from, and what they’re made for.

Through honest stories, theological insight, and real-world examples, they explore how today’s dads can break generational cycles and become the kind of fathers who bless rather than wound.

With a mix of vulnerability and hope, this episode will help you:

• Understand the power of a father’s blessing
• Learn why “beloved sonship” is the foundation of manhood
• Recognize how your own father wounds impact your parenting
• Discover what true initiation into manhood looks like
• See how God can redeem your family’s story through you

Whether you had a great dad or no dad at all, this episode is a powerful reminder that strong families begin with healed men—and your son’s journey into manhood starts with you.

Prayer:
“Father, help me see my son the way You see me—beloved, chosen, and full of purpose.”

What if the clutter around you- your messy car, chaotic desk, or unfinished projects—was actually revealing something deeper happening inside you?

In this episode, Jerrad challenges men to look beneath the surface and see how the outward disorder in our lives often mirrors the inward chaos of our souls. Before stepping into the mission God’s calling us to, He’s inviting us to bring order, attention, and faithfulness to the small things right in front of us.

Through personal stories, honest reflection, and a practical framework, Jerrad helps listeners see that spiritual leadership starts with stewardship. You can’t lead your family well, love your wife faithfully, or change the world for Christ if your life is cluttered and chaotic.

With a mix of conviction and grace, this episode will help you:

• Recognize how outward messes reveal inward disorder
• Understand why God calls men to faithfulness in the small things first
• Learn seven practical ways to clean up “sloppy” areas of your life
• See how physical order can become a daily act of spiritual worship
• Prepare your heart for the bigger mission God’s about to call you into

Whether you feel distracted, disorganized, or just stuck, this episode is a wake-up call to bring order to the chaos—and become the kind of man God can trust with more.

Prayer:
“God, is there anything in my life that grieves You?”
