WEBVTT - We Love Moms 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.360 Coming to you from the Morning Star Mission sponsored studio. 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:08.200 This is Carl and crew on Moody Radio. 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:11.039 You know, it's been raised in Alaska. Was pretty interesting 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:14.800 when we built homes together. Everybody got a chunk of something. 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:16.880 Men and women alike. Now, it was my dad and 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:18.919 I that were building the house in the summer when 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:21.600 I was 16 years old, and we were busting at morning, 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.320 noon and night. But here came mom toward the end 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.760 of the summer, and she was with my with my 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:33.520 sisters on the insulation committee. And we're talking this was 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.360 a big job. Yeah, my mom installed. I don't know 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:41.520 how many square feet of friction fit. Yeah. Friction fit 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:47.400 or staple back insulation. So up on the walls. How 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.080 how does it work? Guys, help me here. 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.800 I've got to go back. Yeah, I got to. 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.120 Go back to my old days. Uh. There's insulation. You've 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.760 seen pink insulation, right? Yeah. Okay. And that goes between 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.900 the studs or up in the rafters, and you've got 0:01:02.940 --> 0:01:05.180 for anything that's going up in the lid, you have 0:01:05.180 --> 0:01:09.940 to generally have you staple it to to the rafters 0:01:10.660 --> 0:01:13.780 or in some way fasten it. And then on the 0:01:13.780 --> 0:01:16.220 walls you can go with friction fit. I remember when 0:01:16.220 --> 0:01:18.700 Friction Fit came out, everybody was fired up about that. 0:01:18.700 --> 0:01:22.060 So it was just a little bit wider than that 0:01:23.540 --> 0:01:26.780 16in on center stud width. So just a little bit wider. 0:01:26.780 --> 0:01:28.940 So you push that insulation in. But you have to 0:01:28.940 --> 0:01:31.100 do it right. You can't mash it down. It takes 0:01:31.100 --> 0:01:33.740 away the R factor. The R factor is what makes 0:01:33.740 --> 0:01:37.740 your home insulated. So we had six inch exterior walls. 0:01:38.100 --> 0:01:42.500 And I remember thinking, wow, what a mom. She's because 0:01:42.500 --> 0:01:44.420 I'm working on other stuff with my dad, but I'd 0:01:44.420 --> 0:01:46.860 come by my mom's got a face mask on, she's 0:01:46.860 --> 0:01:50.180 got gloves on, she's got long sleeve shirt on. But 0:01:50.180 --> 0:01:54.820 fiberglass insulation is a job. And my mom would get 0:01:54.820 --> 0:01:59.140 up on ladders and she was putting in insulation. 0:01:59.380 --> 0:02:00.460 That's impressive. 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.440 Yeah. Go, mom! I'm super impressed. Yeah. 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.840 That's just kind of normal mom hood in Alaska. 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:08.800 Really? Get your hands dirty. 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:10.679 It was just real calming. 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:11.440 That's amazing. 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.320 Huh? Okay, so what's something, Jonathan? What's something you were 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:15.720 impressed your mom could do? 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.399 That's a good question. Something I was impressed my mom 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.840 could do. You know, I think the thing I'm most 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:26.679 impressed with is, is her ability to keep cool under 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.560 any type of pressure. Because, you know. 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:30.520 Good thing with four. 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:31.040 Boys. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.680 Four boys. Yeah. No doubt. I mean, Carl, ally, Diana, 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.040 you guys know me. I'm not someone who's very well 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:41.200 known for his keeping cool under pressure. I, you know, 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:42.000 I can get it. 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.280 Must be your dad's genes. 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.080 I think so, I think I got my dad's genes 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.400 on that one. But my mom, like, sometimes I just 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:52.480 am like, man, that woman is unflappable. I was like, 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.440 she's cool, calm, collected in some of the most stressful 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.440 situations I've seen. All good to go and not just 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.090 putting on a brave face like she's like, it's okay, 0:03:01.090 --> 0:03:04.130 we're going to be fine. We got it. And I'm like, go, mom. Wow. 0:03:04.169 --> 0:03:05.610 So I'm impressed with that. 0:03:05.610 --> 0:03:07.490 Great. That great. 0:03:07.530 --> 0:03:07.970 Yeah. 0:03:08.570 --> 0:03:09.930 All right. Go around the horn here. 0:03:09.930 --> 0:03:10.330 Guys. 0:03:10.370 --> 0:03:10.770 I love it. 0:03:10.770 --> 0:03:14.169 Super die. Something that your mom could do that impressed you? 0:03:14.530 --> 0:03:16.970 I don't even think it even exists anymore. My mother 0:03:16.970 --> 0:03:20.210 used to be. Well, they call it secretary's assistant, but 0:03:20.250 --> 0:03:22.690 she was phenomenal at. I mean, she could type. To me, 0:03:22.690 --> 0:03:24.489 it was like a thousand words a minute. But she 0:03:24.490 --> 0:03:27.889 was an expert at shorthand. She would teach it. Wow. 0:03:27.889 --> 0:03:30.609 I don't even think they do shorthand. I think they do. 0:03:30.650 --> 0:03:32.450 Do they think they do? I think they teach it. 0:03:32.490 --> 0:03:33.810 Nobody uses it, but they. 0:03:33.810 --> 0:03:37.369 Teach phenomenal at that. Absolutely. She can still write some 0:03:37.370 --> 0:03:38.690 of it. It's still in her memory. 0:03:39.050 --> 0:03:42.330 But shorthand is one of the craziest things I ever. 0:03:42.370 --> 0:03:43.450 Okay, so what exactly? 0:03:43.490 --> 0:03:44.810 I don't know what shorthand. 0:03:44.850 --> 0:03:49.290 It's symbols and abbreviations. It's not even letters for secretarial because, 0:03:49.330 --> 0:03:52.610 you know, back then it wasn't computers. You got to fly. 0:03:52.770 --> 0:03:55.130 And if the, you know, boss is giving you a 0:03:55.130 --> 0:03:57.650 letter dictating you a letter instead of just writing it 0:03:57.650 --> 0:03:58.010 all out. 0:03:58.050 --> 0:03:58.290 All the. 0:03:58.490 --> 0:04:00.430 Shorthand was the faster way to take. 0:04:00.430 --> 0:04:02.590 It down. That's straight up hieroglyphics. 0:04:02.790 --> 0:04:03.670 Very much so. Oh, no. 0:04:03.710 --> 0:04:07.150 Shorthand is hieroglyphics. Yeah. It looks like something that King 0:04:07.190 --> 0:04:08.070 Tut invented. 0:04:08.110 --> 0:04:08.270 Yeah. 0:04:08.310 --> 0:04:11.110 No doubt. He was fantastic at it. 0:04:11.150 --> 0:04:11.590 Really? 0:04:11.630 --> 0:04:14.350 That's really cool. Fantastic at it. How many words a 0:04:14.350 --> 0:04:16.789 minute could she type? I bet she was a flier 0:04:16.790 --> 0:04:17.110 on that. 0:04:17.150 --> 0:04:19.750 She. She was seriously a flier on that expert. Top 0:04:19.750 --> 0:04:21.470 of her class. All that good stuff. Top of the 0:04:21.470 --> 0:04:22.830 secretary pool. All that good. 0:04:22.830 --> 0:04:24.669 Stuff. That's. Wow. That was her skills. 0:04:24.710 --> 0:04:26.270 Manual typewriters. 0:04:26.950 --> 0:04:27.110 And. 0:04:27.110 --> 0:04:30.470 The clink. Slide that thing over. Clink, slide that thing. 0:04:30.470 --> 0:04:30.790 Over. 0:04:31.150 --> 0:04:32.349 And keep typing away. Yeah. 0:04:32.350 --> 0:04:35.190 That's fascinating. Very much so. Yeah. And she still. 0:04:35.190 --> 0:04:35.710 Knows some of it. 0:04:35.710 --> 0:04:38.870 Yeah, man. For my mom, I was always impressed by 0:04:38.870 --> 0:04:43.350 her ability to make anything. She was an incredible seamstress. 0:04:43.630 --> 0:04:48.589 So she could sew and create the most beautiful dresses. 0:04:48.630 --> 0:04:50.430 And she made my prom dress. 0:04:50.470 --> 0:04:52.670 The fact that she made your prom dress is one 0:04:52.670 --> 0:04:54.510 of the riskiest, coolest things. 0:04:54.790 --> 0:04:58.830 She made me multiple gowns, and I couldn't find something 0:04:58.830 --> 0:05:01.010 that I liked. That was long enough for me to 0:05:01.050 --> 0:05:04.450 actually wear heels at five foot ten. So she sewed 0:05:04.490 --> 0:05:07.529 a prom dress for me, and it was beautiful. It 0:05:07.529 --> 0:05:09.770 was the most beautiful dress. So I was so impressed 0:05:09.770 --> 0:05:11.810 at how she would just sit down at that sewing 0:05:11.850 --> 0:05:15.330 machine in her hands. Could just make it felt like, 0:05:15.330 --> 0:05:18.130 make magic. Like she would just whip out the most 0:05:18.130 --> 0:05:19.490 beautiful creations. 0:05:20.370 --> 0:05:22.490 I got this one, just came in. My mom played 0:05:22.490 --> 0:05:25.330 first base for our town's women's softball team. 0:05:25.690 --> 0:05:26.130 Okay. 0:05:26.170 --> 0:05:26.610 Yes. 0:05:26.650 --> 0:05:29.370 Can I can I ask the boom crew on this one?

And what's really cool about this, 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:54.319 this question is that it's evoking a lot of quality time. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:55.800 Isn't that sweet? 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.620 Everything I've seen come in so far has to do 0:09:58.620 --> 0:10:02.660 with time. Time together. A board game, night walk on 0:10:02.660 --> 0:10:06.260 the beach together. My kids. To particularly people who have 0:10:06.740 --> 0:10:10.540 older children, young adults is just that. That time. 0:10:11.179 --> 0:10:19.260 Yeah. It's beautiful. Um. Organized quality time. Kids to be saved. 0:10:19.540 --> 0:10:22.060 That's that's been a common theme to. Yeah. That's a 0:10:22.059 --> 0:10:26.140 mama's heart, kids to know and follow Jesus Christ. That's 0:10:26.140 --> 0:10:29.020 a beautiful thing. We talk a lot about that around here, 0:10:29.020 --> 0:10:31.059 and we know that that can be a heartbreaking thing. 0:10:31.059 --> 0:10:34.260 But I want you to know that I have seen, 0:10:34.260 --> 0:10:38.100 I've witnessed and experienced God answered prayer to this very thing, 0:10:38.100 --> 0:10:40.700 that your kids would know Christ and really catch fire 0:10:40.700 --> 0:10:43.740 for him. It's one of the most reassuring things going. 0:10:43.900 --> 0:10:45.860 Julie in Illinois. What do you say, Julie? 0:10:47.580 --> 0:10:50.940 Hi, Carl. I would say a top ten list of 0:10:50.940 --> 0:10:55.500 the things they love about their mom or valuing them. 0:10:55.500 --> 0:10:57.260 I used to make my kids do that when they 0:10:57.260 --> 0:10:59.510 were little. Like, this. Write me a card and give 0:10:59.510 --> 0:11:02.230 me a top ten list of things you like about me. 0:11:02.630 --> 0:11:07.430 And I kept them and they're so sweet. And they're original. 0:11:07.470 --> 0:11:10.030 No one else would think of some of those things. 0:11:10.550 --> 0:11:13.270 That's so cool. Julie, thank you so much for calling in. 0:11:13.309 --> 0:11:18.150 Stay on the horn. Guess what, man? You're going a 0:11:18.150 --> 0:11:18.990 triple boomer. 0:11:19.030 --> 0:11:24.790 All right. Julie. Boom boom boom. Triple boom for you, Julie. 0:11:25.110 --> 0:11:26.990 That goes with your Carl and crew prize pack. So 0:11:26.990 --> 0:11:30.470 stay on the horn. Pretty cool. Getting some cool feedback here, Ali. 0:11:30.510 --> 0:11:33.229 And I love how much of it just revolves around time. 0:11:33.390 --> 0:11:36.790 A restored relationships. There's a desire for restored relationships with 0:11:36.790 --> 0:11:41.350 two children. There's that some complicated dynamics sometimes for my 0:11:41.350 --> 0:11:43.550 kids to talk to me and verbally say, I love you. 0:11:43.550 --> 0:11:46.589 I want my kids to pursue God. I want my 0:11:46.590 --> 0:11:49.710 kids to grow up and love and fear the Lord. 0:11:50.070 --> 0:11:52.070 How about this one? This one's a little bit more practical, 0:11:52.070 --> 0:11:54.590 I guess. My whole house in laundry cleaned. That way 0:11:54.590 --> 0:11:57.110 I can actually sit down with my kids. It's linked 0:11:57.150 --> 0:11:59.490 to time again. That way I can actually sit down 0:11:59.490 --> 0:12:01.290 with my kids and spend time with them, because it 0:12:01.290 --> 0:12:03.890 seems like I always have to be doing something. 0:12:04.730 --> 0:12:08.890 Precious and practical. Yeah, yeah, it's it's an interesting thing 0:12:08.890 --> 0:12:14.890 because mamas, man, they're just it's just such an interesting thing. 0:12:14.890 --> 0:12:16.730 The cry of a mom's heart is one of the 0:12:16.730 --> 0:12:19.410 most beautiful things going, guys. I just absolutely love it. 0:12:19.450 --> 0:12:22.090 I think, as you know, when it comes from the 0:12:22.090 --> 0:12:26.410 husband perspective, I, I love this idea of giving time, 0:12:26.410 --> 0:12:29.690 giving events to do together because I've seen that with 0:12:29.690 --> 0:12:32.250 my wife. She's like, I don't really want anything. I 0:12:32.250 --> 0:12:34.610 just want to do stuff with you guys. And seeing 0:12:34.610 --> 0:12:37.010 the connection, the strong connection that she has with our 0:12:37.010 --> 0:12:39.570 one year old, it's like now she just wants to 0:12:39.570 --> 0:12:42.210 enjoy every minute she can with her. So let's give 0:12:42.210 --> 0:12:43.730 her time with her. You know. 0:12:43.770 --> 0:12:47.209 I love it, I love it. Uh, Jack, you ready 0:12:47.210 --> 0:12:52.170 to go? Jacqueline. Jacqueline in Virginia. What do you say, sister? 0:12:53.370 --> 0:12:56.810 Oh, my middle son is probably the best gift giver 0:12:56.809 --> 0:13:00.270 because he knows how much I love to scrapbook, although 0:13:00.270 --> 0:13:05.830 they hate smiling for the pictures, but he will for 0:13:05.830 --> 0:13:09.350 each holiday. Um, he will give me the gift of 0:13:09.350 --> 0:13:12.110 time and sit down and scrapbook with me. 0:13:12.150 --> 0:13:14.390 Oh that's awesome. 0:13:15.030 --> 0:13:18.309 He knows how to have fun. He knows how to 0:13:18.309 --> 0:13:19.990 be favorite child status. 0:13:21.230 --> 0:13:23.110 You are right about that one. 0:13:23.150 --> 0:13:26.030 That's great. That's great. Jacqueline, thank you so much for 0:13:26.030 --> 0:13:31.189 calling in. And you know what? Boom boom boom. Triple 0:13:31.230 --> 0:13:33.350 boom in you, Jacqueline, you stay on the horn. We're 0:13:33.350 --> 0:13:35.430 sending you a cast and crew prize pack all the 0:13:35.429 --> 0:13:38.030 way to Virginia. Sister. Thank you. I love it. Pretty 0:13:38.030 --> 0:13:40.590 cool stuff. Still coming in here, Ali, you get some more? 0:13:40.630 --> 0:13:44.709 Yeah. I mean, everything has been around the desire to 0:13:44.790 --> 0:13:47.230 have time to play board games with my family and 0:13:47.230 --> 0:13:52.790 my grandchildren says 6646, 0205 echoes. Our caller says, yeah, 0:13:52.790 --> 0:13:55.429 I would like to hear what they like about me 0:13:55.429 --> 0:13:57.030 or what they appreciate. 0:13:58.090 --> 0:14:02.250 Yeah. And sometimes a mom's heart is to just hear. 0:14:02.570 --> 0:14:04.569 Did I get something right? 0:14:04.610 --> 0:14:08.410 Right. Because we know all of the things we've gotten wrong. 0:14:08.570 --> 0:14:09.050 Yeah. 0:14:09.210 --> 0:14:10.890 Boy, we know where we've missed it. 0:14:11.570 --> 0:14:16.849 Take time to think about that in this Mother's Day season. 0:14:17.210 --> 0:14:20.050 And for some of you, it's a real battle to 0:14:20.090 --> 0:14:22.890 come up with something. But I think if you dig deeply, 0:14:22.890 --> 0:14:25.130 believe it or not, it is a beautiful thing to 0:14:25.130 --> 0:14:26.970 be able to say, mom, I want to tell you 0:14:26.970 --> 0:14:30.730 this Mother's Day, I appreciate this about you. And you know, 0:14:30.770 --> 0:14:33.729 your mom might be like mine. Gone on to her reward. 0:14:34.410 --> 0:14:36.490 And I can still look back, though, and look at 0:14:36.490 --> 0:14:39.810 things like putting insulation in in the home friction fit 0:14:39.810 --> 0:14:43.970 by the umpteenth roll, man. I mean, just rolling out that. 0:14:43.970 --> 0:14:46.530 And she had she had a razor knife and she 0:14:46.610 --> 0:14:49.170 put that two by four down at the exact length 0:14:49.170 --> 0:14:51.530 that she had to cut it, and she'd run that 0:14:51.810 --> 0:14:54.850 razor knife, that knife down alongside that two by four, 0:14:54.890 --> 0:15:00.260 cutting that thing perfectly. And she was a detail, I 0:15:00.300 --> 0:15:03.300 want to say, almost like freakish on details. And her 0:15:03.300 --> 0:15:05.900 insulation job was like that. Those cuts had to be 0:15:05.900 --> 0:15:09.420 absolutely square, and her mission was to make sure that 0:15:09.420 --> 0:15:12.220 there was no cool air coming in, any cracks that 0:15:12.220 --> 0:15:13.980 were going to make us cold at all in those 0:15:13.980 --> 0:15:16.860 cold winter months in Alaska. It's a sweet thing to 0:15:16.860 --> 0:15:19.060 be able to look at your mom and say thank you, mom, 0:15:19.060 --> 0:15:22.340 for and then fill in the blank, you know, for 0:15:22.340 --> 0:15:27.340 some of you, you're like, huh? I wonder what I 0:15:27.340 --> 0:15:30.900 can do. We have an idea for you right now. 0:15:30.940 --> 0:15:32.860 We have a Mom's Day giveaway we want to make 0:15:32.860 --> 0:15:35.260 sure you know about. You can win this for a 0:15:35.260 --> 0:15:37.580 mom in your life, a mom figure, or you can 0:15:37.580 --> 0:15:40.140 win it for yourself. Mom. Just text the word mom 0:15:40.140 --> 0:15:45.020 to 800 555 7898. Going to be a cool opportunity 0:15:45.020 --> 0:15:47.100 to get a spa day and a restaurant gift card 0:15:47.100 --> 0:15:50.420 that's customized for where you live to make sure that 0:15:50.420 --> 0:15:55.540 you can actually use it. So text mom to 805 55, 78, 98. 0:15:55.540 --> 0:15:59.920 Just text mom 805 55, 7898. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:04.760 She's a choreographer extraordinaire and everything is Greek to her. 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.920 Super die is in the crew. It's Carl and crew 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.160 on Moody Radio. 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.120 Okay, we are in a beautiful season here. We're giving 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.920 you a heads up. We're doing you a public service 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.320 right now. Yep. Because you don't want to be scrambling 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.840 on Friday or Saturday. Those flower bins start to dwindle 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:27.040 around that Saturday afternoon period. They start to get sad, man. 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.840 You might have to grab up some things out in 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.920 the wild because it gets thin. But if you get 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.680 a jump on this thing, look out. We're talking about 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.600 Mother's Day and we're having a phenomenal time here today. 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.960 All week long we've got a lineup of just some 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.000 real heavy hitters that are going to be coming in, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:48.640 talking to men about reclaiming biblical manhood in a way 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.920 that you're going to be that kind of man that 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.680 the women in your life need, let alone the wife 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.740 or mom that you have in your life. And I've 0:16:56.740 --> 0:17:00.060 been so encouraged. Excuse me. One of the things that. 0:17:02.100 --> 0:17:06.820 Most encourages me, um, is the little stuff. And Ali's son, cannon, 0:17:07.380 --> 0:17:10.780 I'm going to brag on him. Going another dad moment here. Ali. 0:17:10.820 --> 0:17:13.260 You know, I've been I've been doing that a lot 0:17:13.300 --> 0:17:16.460 here as of late. Whenever, when, whenever. Ali's in a 0:17:16.460 --> 0:17:19.659 room and she's getting introduced to someone, I take it 0:17:19.660 --> 0:17:23.740 upon myself to give the whole lowdown. All the highlights 0:17:23.740 --> 0:17:28.419 of Ali's life and her family's life. And Ali always says, yeah, 0:17:28.420 --> 0:17:33.780 he does this dad thing. So I'm going to go 0:17:33.780 --> 0:17:36.980 dad thing here. But cannon, your boy, he's a dozen 0:17:36.980 --> 0:17:37.540 years old, right? 0:17:37.580 --> 0:17:38.460 He's 12. Yeah. 0:17:38.500 --> 0:17:42.260 Yeah. Um, you've trained him to open doors for women. 0:17:42.500 --> 0:17:45.260 And that's a beautiful thing, man. That's beautiful. And those 0:17:45.260 --> 0:17:48.980 little micro habits can grow into something really macro. Huge impact. 0:17:48.980 --> 0:17:51.340 I'm a big believer in that. I'm a big believer 0:17:51.340 --> 0:17:54.820 that little tiny habits get the flywheel effect going where 0:17:54.820 --> 0:17:58.479 you start building some good things and we want to 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.240 break this down for you. So we got a special 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:01.000 guest coming up here. 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:06.840 Doctor Gary Rosberg married almost 50 years with some hard 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.440 earned wisdom he wants to share with men. 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:14.480 A basketball mom who's mastered the dad joke. Ali is 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:18.120 in the crew. It's Carl and crew on Moody Radio. 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:22.359 Gary, I was responding to an article. Actually. An interview. Uh, 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.560 let me find this fascinating interview. Uh, Mark Zuckerberg was 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:32.240 being interviewed by Dwarkesh Patel on a podcast just in April. 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.639 They're coming up with AI bots that are going to 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:38.160 be friends for men. Okay. So that's that's their premise 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.600 is men don't have enough friends. And so we need 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.880 AI bots. And my conviction is and I think most 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.920 people that think about this biblically go, oh, that's that's 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:48.960 not best. There's got to be a better way to go. 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.200 And in that process, I just made some posts about 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.639 I just made some comments in my Facebook page about 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:59.450 how men are designed to be initiators and providers and 0:18:59.450 --> 0:19:04.170 great lovers of people around them. And and then I 0:19:04.170 --> 0:19:06.610 had a response from someone who said, really took me 0:19:06.609 --> 0:19:08.610 on and said, well, we live in a new world now. 0:19:08.609 --> 0:19:10.970 The lines are blurred between men and women. And I 0:19:11.010 --> 0:19:14.250 thought to myself, boy, no truer words have been spoken. 0:19:14.250 --> 0:19:16.050 That's kind of where we're at, aren't we, Gary? 0:19:16.850 --> 0:19:18.850 Yeah, we are. And do you remember when a man 0:19:18.850 --> 0:19:21.130 was a man and a woman was a woman, and 0:19:21.130 --> 0:19:22.330 a horse was a horse? 0:19:23.570 --> 0:19:25.530 I feel like we got a dad joke in this 0:19:25.530 --> 0:19:26.490 thing here somewhere. 0:19:27.170 --> 0:19:30.570 Well, you know it. And I heard about that article 0:19:30.570 --> 0:19:33.570 as well. And I don't need a bot telling me 0:19:33.570 --> 0:19:36.210 how to be a man sold out for Christ, or 0:19:36.250 --> 0:19:39.850 a man willing to go low and serve in our family. Um, 0:19:39.850 --> 0:19:42.010 I had a grandpa that taught me. I had a 0:19:42.010 --> 0:19:44.730 dad that taught me, and I just wrote down some 0:19:44.730 --> 0:19:47.970 of the stuff that they taught me during my entire 0:19:48.010 --> 0:19:52.290 growing up in my family. The young men, my dad, 0:19:52.290 --> 0:19:56.149 my grandpa, they modeled it. And so mom never opened 0:19:56.150 --> 0:19:59.750 her door, and I remember speaking to our cross trainers group, Karl, 0:19:59.750 --> 0:20:02.590 years ago in Des Moines. We had 600 guys every Wednesday, 0:20:02.590 --> 0:20:04.510 and I made a deal with those guys. If you 0:20:04.510 --> 0:20:07.150 ever see Barb Rosberg opening her own door, you can 0:20:07.190 --> 0:20:09.110 out me in front of the entire group. 0:20:09.710 --> 0:20:10.390 And they were. 0:20:10.390 --> 0:20:12.750 Watching. So I had all these oh, they were watching 0:20:12.750 --> 0:20:14.949 and they loved it. But you know what? If you 0:20:14.950 --> 0:20:17.470 don't learn it from a grandpa, I mean, I was 0:20:17.470 --> 0:20:20.750 taught you don't call my mom, she or her. If 0:20:20.750 --> 0:20:23.270 I said, well, she, my dad or my grandpa would 0:20:23.270 --> 0:20:26.270 stop me and say she has the name. What's her name? Gary. 0:20:26.750 --> 0:20:28.990 And I'd say, well, mom. Okay. Then you call her mom. 0:20:29.510 --> 0:20:32.270 I was raised that you pull out the chair at 0:20:32.270 --> 0:20:34.709 the dining room table. Now, one time I pulled it 0:20:34.710 --> 0:20:36.229 out a little bit too far, but I was a 0:20:36.230 --> 0:20:39.350 middle son, so, you know, I mean, I got to 0:20:39.350 --> 0:20:41.230 do that one time. Never got to do it again. 0:20:41.590 --> 0:20:42.750 Yeah, that was over. 0:20:43.390 --> 0:20:46.030 Yeah, that was over. But it is the micro things. 0:20:46.230 --> 0:20:48.350 It's the micro things. And if you don't learn it 0:20:48.350 --> 0:20:51.430 from a dad, that's why we need to learn it 0:20:51.790 --> 0:20:55.150 from other men that are teachable men that are willing 0:20:55.190 --> 0:20:58.369 to fulfill the calling upon our lives to love others 0:20:58.369 --> 0:20:59.409 more than ourselves. 0:20:59.650 --> 0:21:02.330 Doctor Gary Rosberg with us right now, he and his 0:21:02.330 --> 0:21:05.570 wife Gary and Barb Rosberg. Rosberg are sought after life 0:21:05.570 --> 0:21:09.650 and marriage coaches. They have so many resources, a podcast 0:21:09.650 --> 0:21:14.930 as well. Doctor Gary so from a woman's perspective, I 0:21:15.050 --> 0:21:17.810 grew up, to be quite honest, kind of pushing back 0:21:17.810 --> 0:21:21.330 against some of what I felt like were the stereotypical 0:21:21.330 --> 0:21:26.250 expectations of men and women. I am all for chivalry. 0:21:26.250 --> 0:21:29.250 I'm all for door opening. But some of the things 0:21:29.250 --> 0:21:32.530 that sometimes have gone along with what we considered the 0:21:32.530 --> 0:21:35.050 man being the man and the woman being the woman 0:21:35.890 --> 0:21:40.010 were tough for me. How do we reconcile that? There, there, 0:21:40.050 --> 0:21:42.330 there were some things, I hate to borrow the overused 0:21:42.330 --> 0:21:45.129 phrase of toxic masculinity, but there were some kind of 0:21:45.170 --> 0:21:49.290 toxic aspects of masculinity that were put forth as this 0:21:49.290 --> 0:21:51.690 is the awesome way to go. How do we throw 0:21:51.690 --> 0:21:55.510 out the bad stuff but keep what's actually biblical and 0:21:55.510 --> 0:21:57.149 right and true and honorable. 0:21:57.630 --> 0:22:00.350 Yeah, it's a great question. I mean, Carl and I 0:22:00.350 --> 0:22:02.750 have a mutual friend, Stu Weber. 0:22:02.950 --> 0:22:03.350 Yeah. 0:22:03.390 --> 0:22:06.590 And he did a book called Tender Warrior. And, uh, 0:22:06.590 --> 0:22:10.550 Steve Farrar, another my best friend, wrote Point Man. And 0:22:10.550 --> 0:22:12.270 I did a book called Guard Your Heart. And the 0:22:12.270 --> 0:22:14.550 three of us were the three amigos. So we traversed 0:22:14.550 --> 0:22:19.390 the country doing men's events, and Stu would talk about 0:22:19.430 --> 0:22:23.190 a male leader is when he is out of whack, 0:22:23.190 --> 0:22:25.510 when he is out of kilter, when that needle goes 0:22:25.670 --> 0:22:28.470 too far to the right. He isn't a servant leader. 0:22:28.470 --> 0:22:32.270 He's a brute. Yeah. And he said, no wife and 0:22:32.270 --> 0:22:35.750 no bucket load of kids wants a brute for a leader. 0:22:36.230 --> 0:22:40.510 And a lot of times when dads, husbands, uh, grandfathers, 0:22:40.510 --> 0:22:43.790 I got 12 grandkids. When we are tired, when we 0:22:43.830 --> 0:22:46.830 are frustrated, when we don't, when we don't sense that 0:22:46.830 --> 0:22:50.070 we're being seen. When we've lost our way, when our 0:22:50.070 --> 0:22:55.359 identity gets messed up, we will overexert that leadership. So 0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:58.920 we are really doing contrary to what Jesus demonstrates for 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:03.200 us in John 13 verse 17. When he has just 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:06.600 lowered himself in the last moments, one of the last 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:10.200 acts before going to the cross, and he picks out 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:13.080 Peter as that's the one we read about in the Gospels, 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.119 and he wraps a towel around his waist and he 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:19.159 gets a basin of water. And I imagine all the, 0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:22.520 you know, disciples are chatting away and and trying to 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:24.360 figure out what's going on. And he walks over to 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:27.439 Peter and he gets down on his knees and he 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:32.359 takes off that sandal, and he washes his feet. And 0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:36.200 Ali in, in John 1317 and this is emblazoned in 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:39.840 my chest. Jesus says, now that you know these things, 0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:43.320 you will be blessed if you do them. And every 0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:46.080 guy listening to this program, and I'm so proud of 0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:48.800 you that you're tackling this on Mother's Day week. Every 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:51.240 guy listening to this program knows that he wants to 0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:53.760 be blessed by the Lord. He wants to be blessed. 0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:56.460 He's he's a good guy. And it may be hard 0:23:56.460 --> 0:23:59.060 right now. He may be scared. He may be frustrated. 0:23:59.060 --> 0:24:01.780 He may be in sin. He may have been offended 0:24:01.780 --> 0:24:05.300 by his bride. Uh, there's any number of ramifications for 0:24:05.300 --> 0:24:08.180 every guy listening. But you start somewhere, and you know 0:24:08.180 --> 0:24:11.540 where you start. You start by modeling. Not the Tait 0:24:11.540 --> 0:24:15.139 brothers or whoever those clowns are or, you know, looking 0:24:15.140 --> 0:24:19.620 at a secular model, uh, including Zuckerberg with a bot. 0:24:19.980 --> 0:24:22.180 What you do is you go back to the Book 0:24:22.180 --> 0:24:26.300 of Wisdom and you seek. What does a godly man do? 0:24:26.300 --> 0:24:29.500 Because it may be blurred today. It's only blurred today, 0:24:29.859 --> 0:24:32.700 and it's been blurred in other generations. But you know what? 0:24:32.859 --> 0:24:36.300 The Word of God is never blurred. It cuts. It's right. 0:24:36.300 --> 0:24:39.140 It's true. It's light and it's life giving. 0:24:39.820 --> 0:24:42.220 Doctor Gary Rosberg with us coming up Gary, I want 0:24:42.260 --> 0:24:46.020 to tackle this because my absolute conviction now after years 0:24:46.020 --> 0:24:48.900 of ministry, years of pastoring, years of working with men 0:24:49.820 --> 0:24:55.160 and I even I remember mentioning this to, uh, Dennis Rainey, 0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:58.160 who was heading us up when Gary and I and 0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:00.800 Barb and Janine, we all spoke on Family Life Weekend 0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:02.679 to remember, and I went to Dennis one day and 0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:07.480 I said, Dennis, if we send people out of here 0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.640 with all these marriage principles, but without knowing how to 0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:15.280 appropriate the power of God in this thing, I mean 0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:18.440 really do it with God's juice. We're just putting Band-Aids 0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:23.040 on this thing. And he agreed. But it seems like 0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:25.320 I want you to take us to the engine room 0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:28.160 of a man that does get up and wash feet 0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:30.560 to the engine room of the soul of a man 0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:33.280 that gets up and opens doors with the right motivation. 0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:35.239 The engine room of a man that weeps with a 0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:38.800 wife and listens to her speak without interrupting and fixing. 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:42.040 Let's go to the engine room with Doctor Gary Rosberg. 0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:42.840 Straight ahead. 0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:46.119 He's a sports fanatic with a stat for anything you 0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:50.399 can think of. Young Thunder is in the crew. It's 0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:52.600 Carl and crew on Moody Radio. 0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:57.020 Doctor Gary Rosberg with us right now, dear friend. Um, 0:25:57.020 --> 0:26:00.500 it's awesome, Gary, that you give us great tools and 0:26:00.500 --> 0:26:03.260 and I love great tools. I love great truths. But 0:26:03.260 --> 0:26:05.740 I've seen men you have two who try to bootstrap 0:26:05.740 --> 0:26:08.500 it in our own strength. And those that really dig 0:26:08.500 --> 0:26:12.780 deep in a that, well, that engine room of the soul. 0:26:12.820 --> 0:26:15.820 What needs to go on inside a man so that 0:26:15.820 --> 0:26:18.699 this isn't like pulling teeth trying to do this? I 0:26:18.700 --> 0:26:22.300 know there's difficulty in disciplines, even in loving a woman. Well, 0:26:22.300 --> 0:26:25.580 but what needs to go on deep within a soul, Gary? 0:26:25.619 --> 0:26:27.540 Well, I think the first thing is realize we're not 0:26:27.580 --> 0:26:31.020 running a 48 yard dash. And a lot of guys 0:26:31.020 --> 0:26:34.020 will come to a men's event that Carl, you and 0:26:34.020 --> 0:26:37.179 I speak at or to stadiums that I used to 0:26:37.180 --> 0:26:40.220 speak at, and they would take it and they'd go 0:26:40.220 --> 0:26:42.540 home and they'd be short distance runners, but they'd only 0:26:42.540 --> 0:26:44.580 run 48 yards when you got to go through the 0:26:44.580 --> 0:26:48.060 tape at 50. So you have to live with the 0:26:48.100 --> 0:26:50.619 end in mind. The end in mind is you start 0:26:50.619 --> 0:26:54.190 where you are, you keep your endurance. You surround yourself 0:26:54.190 --> 0:26:57.270 with guys that aren't impressed with you, that love you 0:26:57.270 --> 0:27:01.270 enough to speak into your chest. Not in a harsh way. Again, 0:27:01.270 --> 0:27:03.750 like I said earlier, with Ali not being a brute, 0:27:03.990 --> 0:27:08.429 not over, you know, stating it, but coming alongside in love, 0:27:08.430 --> 0:27:12.830 encouraging one another and modeling it and reminding each other 0:27:12.830 --> 0:27:16.190 that they're not alone in the race. And so I 0:27:16.190 --> 0:27:19.389 would challenge every guy, go back to that book of wisdom, 0:27:19.390 --> 0:27:23.870 open up Philippians two and look at what we read 0:27:23.869 --> 0:27:27.270 about doing nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, 0:27:27.270 --> 0:27:31.990 but considering others greater than yourself. And if we just 0:27:31.990 --> 0:27:35.710 start there in the micro things, in the macro things, 0:27:36.150 --> 0:27:38.869 in our willingness to communicate with our bride and our 0:27:38.869 --> 0:27:42.710 kids in order to saddle up with other guys and 0:27:42.710 --> 0:27:45.669 just say, when I'm off the mark, speak into me, 0:27:45.710 --> 0:27:50.350 speak directly, hopefully, speak gently, but speak into me so 0:27:50.350 --> 0:27:54.530 that I can step back and take another pass at 0:27:54.530 --> 0:27:57.730 this thing. And that's what wives all around your listening 0:27:57.730 --> 0:28:00.850 audience are screaming out for. Just a teachable guy willing 0:28:00.890 --> 0:28:04.850 to take another pass to start somewhere. Start in Philippians two. 0:28:05.050 --> 0:28:08.129 Doctor Gary Rosberg, our guest right now. Now, this is 0:28:08.130 --> 0:28:11.090 not just something that you sit in an office and 0:28:11.090 --> 0:28:14.530 theorize and write about. You've got a wife. You've been 0:28:14.530 --> 0:28:17.490 married for many, many years. What aspect of this do 0:28:17.490 --> 0:28:20.530 you have to fight for most in your own marriage 0:28:20.530 --> 0:28:23.090 and as a dad and grandparent? 0:28:23.609 --> 0:28:26.969 Well, Ali, in 32 days, Barb and I will have 0:28:26.970 --> 0:28:31.010 been married 50 years. Wow. And so we're gathering our kids, 0:28:31.010 --> 0:28:33.370 our grandkids. We're getting on a plane. I'm not saying 0:28:33.369 --> 0:28:38.210 where we're going, and we're spending their inheritance, and we're 0:28:38.210 --> 0:28:41.530 going to recreate the covenant of our marriage in front 0:28:41.530 --> 0:28:45.850 of our grandkids and our daughters and their husbands. And 0:28:45.850 --> 0:28:48.730 we were laying out the nine verses that we're going 0:28:48.770 --> 0:28:50.050 to share. So it's going to be a little bit 0:28:50.050 --> 0:28:52.650 of a service. And we're going to let each of 0:28:52.690 --> 0:28:55.710 the kids take a verse. So from the kindergartner up 0:28:55.710 --> 0:28:58.150 to the 25 year old, and they're going to have 0:28:58.150 --> 0:29:01.670 the opportunity to not only read it, but to talk about, 0:29:02.150 --> 0:29:05.870 are they learning it? Are we passing the baton? And 0:29:05.870 --> 0:29:10.070 so for us, it's breathing. For us, it's daily for us. 0:29:10.070 --> 0:29:13.310 And for me particularly, there's no greater call than to 0:29:13.310 --> 0:29:17.950 be found faithful as a man who finishes strong, broken, 0:29:18.150 --> 0:29:22.190 surrendered on my face before the cross, willing to take 0:29:22.190 --> 0:29:25.670 every mistake and start over, and then to create a 0:29:25.670 --> 0:29:29.990 relationship and to stir relationship as the initiator. Only because 0:29:29.990 --> 0:29:32.670 I'm the initiator. God designed me to be the initiator. 0:29:33.230 --> 0:29:35.350 And that's where when it gets cloudy out there, it's 0:29:35.350 --> 0:29:38.110 because guys are trying to get a handle on it. Well, 0:29:38.110 --> 0:29:40.350 a great place to start is to initiate, to do 0:29:40.350 --> 0:29:41.750 the next right thing. 0:29:42.630 --> 0:29:42.790 And. 0:29:42.790 --> 0:29:43.670 The next right thing. 0:29:44.230 --> 0:29:46.870 Gary, what do you do when you screw up? Because 0:29:46.870 --> 0:29:48.790 we will we'll we'll mess up I don't care, I 0:29:48.790 --> 0:29:50.710 don't care who we are. We're going to screw up. 0:29:50.710 --> 0:29:51.950 What do you do when you screw up? 0:29:52.510 --> 0:29:54.170 Well, it's a heck of a thing to write books 0:29:54.170 --> 0:29:56.610 to men, you know. And sometimes Barb looks at me 0:29:56.610 --> 0:29:59.330 and says, Gary, read chapter three. I mean, you know, 0:29:59.690 --> 0:30:01.850 you know, just go back and I'll go, well, what's 0:30:01.850 --> 0:30:04.050 in chapter three? Because she knows it better than I do. 0:30:04.090 --> 0:30:06.290 And then I open chapter three and I think, rats. 0:30:06.530 --> 0:30:07.010 You know. 0:30:07.050 --> 0:30:09.450 I wish I wrote books on money or something, but 0:30:10.050 --> 0:30:14.130 I think what it means is we're willing to be examined. Carl. Yeah, well, 0:30:14.370 --> 0:30:18.650 we don't when a wife knows that. Not only that, 0:30:18.650 --> 0:30:22.170 we're sold out for her. I mean, that's the second deal. Uh, 0:30:22.170 --> 0:30:24.490 sold out to your kids. I think that's the third deal. 0:30:24.490 --> 0:30:28.010 So we got great fathers listening, but lousy husbands. But 0:30:28.010 --> 0:30:30.210 what we want to do is the first deal, and 0:30:30.210 --> 0:30:33.330 that is that everything we do, Proverbs five says, is 0:30:33.330 --> 0:30:36.250 in full view of the Lord. I want to be 0:30:36.250 --> 0:30:39.050 sold out to Christ. So if I'm a good dad, 0:30:39.090 --> 0:30:42.850 a good grandpa, awesome. If I'm a good husband, even 0:30:42.850 --> 0:30:45.970 more awesome. But I want to follow Jesus. 0:30:46.010 --> 0:30:46.450 Amen. 0:30:46.490 --> 0:30:49.970 And so when I come up short and. And my 0:30:49.970 --> 0:30:53.900 wife and Carl. You know better than anybody listening? When 0:30:53.940 --> 0:30:56.580 Barb moves close to me and she doesn't do it 0:30:56.580 --> 0:30:58.580 in a condemning way, she doesn't do it in a 0:30:58.580 --> 0:31:02.380 shaming way.
