Encouraging my soul!!

Love that they have the “hard conversations”—the topics that Christians tend to shy away from! Just a man and his wife keeping it real and teaching the rest of us how to be intentional parents 🙌

Adj R ,

Awesome Discussion

The “Single men, Marriage, Mentors” topic is sooo timely. It is interesting how women are somewhat reared and taught to be wives while young men are taught to be dominant and successful. Great insight!!

This is a WIN WIN Podcast!

I love the balanced approach The Gaines give in this podcast!! Just finished listening to Episode 18 it offered a fresh perspective into the male psyche. Wholistic Mentorship is what we all need!!
