Gotta new album slow-rolling its way to the light. If you read the funny pages, watch Ken Burns documentaries, love most birds and all flowers, feel better when staring at rivers, check out books from your local library, dig old ZZ Top music videos then these songs are for YOU!

I've written a 14-week guide for sons (6th grade+) to deepen their faith and build strong character. Dads, you can do this with him. Based on "Disciplines of a Godly Man." It features simple 5-day challenges, journal prompts, and weekly check-ins. Link's in the reply section👇🏾
