    How to Raise Sons You Actually Like (Not Just Love)

    This might be our most specific and example-filled episode on how a Family Captain fathers his children - especially his sons. JM shares a lot of personal stories about his own family, and gives plenty of examples of how he talks to his boys, how he disciplines them, and how he carries himself as a father. Most men these days have no idea they should raise boys that they actually like to be around, so let this episode encourage you to start doing just that, and watch the peace in your family flourish. --- 👉 Join Our Free FB Group on Family Leadership & Sex in Marriage: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/thefamilycaptain⁠ --- In This Episode: 0:00 Intro 1:26 JM's Boys 4:34 Do you father differently for different kids? 9:28 Non-negotiables for the household 22:01 Why do good fathers get angry at their sons? 33:37 Don't let them do things that make you not like them 39:16 Discipline vs Overreacting? 43:53 Fathering teen boys 49:06 What JM's boys build outside of homeschool 54:01 The battles you'll always fight 1:02:59 How to instil a hierarchical home culture 1:11:44 Seeing your family through a new lens Mentioned: VidAngel: https://www.vidangel.com/ --- 👉 Want John Michael To Personally Help You Become The Best Man Your Wife And Kids Have Ever Known?

    The 5 Silent Killers of Attraction in Marriage

    It's alarming how many Christians miss this particular element that God designed when it comes to your marriage. We're talking about ATTRACTION. "I love my wife and she loves me and the Bible says she shouldn't deprive me sexually!" Well, OK, my brother, that's true. But you're missing a huge helping of wisdom there. Because what is ALSO true is that the Lord has designed sexual attraction to be a thing. And the more attractive you are to your wife, the more she's going to want you. And not just physically. The more ecstatic your marriage will be overall. More fun, more flirting, more joy, and yes, more intimacy. In this episode, we break down the top 5 most common things that KILL intimacy in a marriage. Listen, decide if you've got some vulnerabilities you can address, then get to work and watch as things change. --- 👉 Join Our Free FB Group on Family Leadership & Sex in Marriage: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/thefamilycaptain⁠ --- In This Episode: 0:00 Intro 3:07 How to initiate before bed (with example) 9:11 Killer 1: Neediness 14:20 I don't need my wife...I want my wife 19:06 Killer 2: Stagnation 24:30 The Kryptonite of Mastery 28:23 Killer 3: Neglect 36:51 Killer 4: Low Status 50:13 Killer 5: Submitted Out Of Fear 1:00:47 "My better half" --- 👉 Want John Michael To Personally Help You Become The Best Man Your Wife And Kids Have Ever Known?

    The 4 Levels To Go From From "Just Okay" to "Ecstatically Married"

    What we've found over the years is that there are basically infinite levels that a man can ascend as a family leader. Every time you think you've reached the top, you discover there's another 10, 100, or 1000 levels to you could get to, by God's grace. In this episode, we're breaking down 4 of the main levels we see guys coming into the Family Captain, and helping to give you some practical ways to get unstuck and to get to that next level. From start to finish, this is about going from zero, not really even paying attention to family leadership or improving your marriage and sex life, to absolute stud, building generational wealth...financially, relationally, and spiritually. --- 👉 Join Our Free FB Group on Family Leadership & Sex in Marriage: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/thefamilycaptain⁠ --- In This Episode: 0:00 Intro 2:53 The Dominion Mandate 6:35 Waking Up and Buying Into God's Good Design 10:57 The Big Lie Keeping Most Guys Down 15:54 50/50? 19:28 "Pretty Good" 24:59 The Comfort Kryptonite 35:05 Doing a Lot, But Frustrated 42:45 Do You Ever Get To A Point You Can Stop Doing The Things? 44:17 The High Performer 59:16 Legacy Limits --- 👉 Want John Michael To Personally Help You Become The Best Man Your Wife And Kids Have Ever Known?

    From "Life Partners" to Thriving Biblical Marriage with Headship & Submission: My Story

    60-some episodes in, you've heard bits and pieces of JM's life and experience, but he's never shared the full story behind what made him the man he is today. It's always fun when you get the inside track on people you listen to regularly, and since there are thousands of people who listen to these episodes, we figured it'd be fun to go deep on John Michael Clark, and figure out why he's wired the way he is. (You'll also get a good sense of whether or not you want to know more about him inside the Family Captain program after listening to this episode.) But, even though he tried not to, JM drops lessons and teaching nuggets that, if you only listened to this episode, could still transform you entire family dynamic, so press play and get ready to become the greatest man your wife and kids have ever known. --- 👉 Join Our Free FB Group on Family Leadership & Sex in Marriage: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/thefamilycaptain⁠ --- In This Episode: 0:00 Intro 1:39 Bio 3:50 Parents divorce 8:40 Coxswain: the chip on the shoulder 19:19 After high school 28:55 Confidence 33:12 Early marriage 36:14 Improving sex life 41:53 Fatherhood 45:48 Family mastery 48:19 Pastor 51:27 Fired...Family Captain 57:34 The first client 1:00:19 Lack of confidence? 1:03:43 North Star for The Family Captain --- 👉 Want John Michael To Personally Help You Become The Best Man Your Wife And Kids Have Ever Known?

    How To Talk To Your Kids About Sex (Guide for Christian Dads)

    This episode is all about exactly how to talk to your kids about sex and God's good design for the marriage bed. We believe that dads need to be the primary discipler for their kids in every aspect of their lives, but particularly so in their sexuality. The enemy has wounded so many people in their childhood in sexuality, and it's not something you can afford to leave to chance, especially in our hyper-sexualized and perverted world. This one is highly tactical, but more importantly shows you another specific way to use the broad Family Captain principle of being on OFFENSE instead of DEFENSE. --- 👉 Join Our Free FB Group on Family Leadership & Sex in Marriage: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/thefamilycaptain⁠ --- In This Episode: 0:00 Intro 2:07 "The Talk" with your kids? 3:44 Will I "steal their innocence"? 7:02 What age to talk about things 10:59 Options for conversations 12:22 Talking about anatomy correctly 18:03 Discomfort 19:52 What's at stake (clip?) 24:59 If you're "late" to the party 28:57 Books and resources 33:31 Go from defense to offense Mentioned: God's Design For Sex (series of 4 books): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O5DIVTU/ God Made All Of Me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1942572301/ --- 👉 Want John Michael To Personally Help You Become The Best Man Your Wife And Kids Have Ever Known?
