Get 'er Done: If you have any stories of laughing through or being grateful in spite of a hard situation, we'd love to hear it... This whole module was spot on. Thanks for covering a vulnerable topic with depth, honesty and some laughs. I don't think most guys talk through any of this stuff with anyone. (I asked my wife's permission to share this). When she was around 2 months PP with our first son, it was a weird ordeal because her breasts were full of milk and huge (amazing), but they were hard and really painful (not amazing), so the whole thing felt like it could be great but just wasn't. One day when I was in the shower, she got in with me and randomly goes, "Hey babe, watch this." She proceeded to squeeze one boob with both hands and literally five streams of milk went shooting in different directions. It was so ridiculous that we both died laughing and I remember just really loving that she took a kind of downer situation and made it something we could both crack up about. Even though sex is my favorite, I still can appreciate that not all intimacy looks the same. Thanks for this module. It was so good.

Congrats to Eric Scott and Chris Kern for leveling up to LEVEL FOUR, amazing!! You've both earned a $50 gift card to a place of your choice!

This was so good for my soul: Devotional: Did you know that a number of people in Scripture, including Jesus Christ, expressed very raw emotions that mirror the symptoms of depression? Here are just a few of many: King David: "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me?" -Psalm 42:11a The Prophet Jeremiah: "Why did I come out from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?" -Jeremiah 20:18 Job: "And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction have taken hold of me. The night racks my bones, and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest." -Job 30:16 Jesus Christ: "And He said to them, 'My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.'" -Mark 14:34a It can be very comforting to know that even among the "giants of the faith," including God Himself, the Messiah, that sorrow and suffering are common to mankind. You are NOT alone.

I need some help getting to level 3. Anything I can read I can read to help keep my kids safe has my full attention.

Module 3: Session 1 "God designed men to be protectors, providers, sources of strength and safety, adventurers, explorers, creators, and godly servants for their wives and children." The challenge was to think of some areas where we're not feeling optimally healthy and DO something about it. My knee is a mess, so I'm flying from Costa Rica (where we live) to the U.S. for surgery. Not being able to run with my kids for the last two years has been horrible and it definitely affects me. So, I rented a car and took my family to the beach to get away; went to the pool, watched my kids boogie board in the ocean, and took them to a National Rainforest here to see monkeys and sloths. Thanks for the push to take action. Feeling (mostly) optimally healthy - check. Now, onto the surgery!
