    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?

But does it have to be? This is a topic few people are willing to shed light on, so we figured we'd break it down so you can get a really clear idea of the types of friends, the types of friendship behaviour, and perhaps even how to find that ultimate "unicorn" friend we're all secretly hoping for.

    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?

    Your Job WILL Be Replaced By AI: What Dads MUST Do Now

    Gentlemen...the future is going to get really weird, really fast. I'm talking like, maybe in the next 2 years. Max, no more than 10. And this isn't me making up numbers with my tinfoil hat on in my conspiracy bunker. These numbers are coming from the top AI experts on the PLANET. They all give 2-5 year timelines before things get really, really weird...and potentially dystopian. 10 for the "ridiculous" conservative estimate. We're talking ALL jobs vanishing. And maybe much, much worse. Depends on how benevolent AI is. We HAVE to talk about this seriously. Family captains are prepared. We don't know how it's going to play out, but I will tell you this much... Family leadership is THE thing. It's always been THE thing, but we're about to find out just how important it really is.

    The Epic Vision For Christian Family They Don't Want You To Know About

Honestly we hope you are. Because here's the thing... Most men have no freaking idea how sweet marriage and family life can be. They spend their hard earned money truck accessories, or a vacation. That might have a little, tiny bit of fruit. But guys there is a way to invest in your family that has GENERATIONAL fruit. For your life, for your wife's life, for your kids' lives, for your grandkids' lives... Our goal is to make you aware of that today. And if we have different values, that's cool. But we wouldn't be loving you if we didn't at least give a good, complete overview of what life COULD look like, if you're willing to take the plunge.
