HARDHEADED Troy Trussell

Join us as we take a break from our normal format and dig into being a better father. This is something that has been on our mind since we have 10 kids represented in the 3 dads on our podcast! We will be skipping the normal three segments (What's on your mind, top 3, and a good word) and we will be talking about traits and characteristics of being a good father. 
 
We are using this article 23 Qualities of a Good Father - Traits & Characteristics written by Jeff Campbell from newmiddleclassdad.com. The plan is to cover about 3 qualities per episode. Since the ages of our kids are spread between 20 and 5, we'll have some insight that will help all of our listeners! 
 
Covered in this episode:
1. Be present and involved
2. Say you're sorry
3. Spend quality time with your family
 
It would be great for you to share the episodes with other dads you know as well as interact with us in the comments on youtube or social media. 
 
We hope you join us on this journey to be better parents and ultimately point our kids to Christ.

Matt contemplates changing his socks after 1.5 years with the same pair.  He was also recently mistaken for a Vietnam veteran, which is about a three decade overview. Maybe it is due to his gray beard that has recently come on.

This week on Hardheaded, Troy ignores Chet's advice and reads the book "One Second After" by William Forstchen. It is a post apocalyptic story about a small town in North Carolina after an EMP destroys the US power grid. It basically makes you start prepping and that is exactly what happened with Troy. Luckily, his wife read the book too so they are on the same page  
The conversation shifts to our Top 3 mainstream father figures. There is some overlap in all three of our lists when it comes to a certain duck hunter.
Matt closes us out with a good word from 1 Corinthians.
