4. Distribution of T4M - second highest audience outside the US - the folks in Botswana! While it may be “one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world” (Wikipedia) - the good people of Botswana are listening to T4M and we are very thankful for you and hope that what is being discussed is helping guys be the men that God has created them to be! If you’re one of our listeners in Botswana, we’d love to hear from you - again, email is info@training4manhood.com
5. T4M podcasts are now available on GOOGLE Podcasts!!! If you listen to podcasts on Google, T4M is there!!!
6. We are going to be releasing our QUARTERLY BOOK DISCUSSIONS soon - these will be coming out with a FRIDAY release date so our normal Monday T4M episodes and discussions will not be affected. We will announce the books that we’ll be reading and discussing soon so that you can read along with us!

Went with Mike Thornberry to hear Jordan Peterson on his current tour. Some very interesting and very well informed perspectives on life…appreciate his thoughtfulness and willingness to share and add to the great conversation of our culture.

Timeless principles of manhood - because God stands outside time, space, and culture, the principles from God’s Word have a universal application to all men everywhere at all times! The principles of what makes a man that are taken from Scripture are as valuable now as they were thousands of years ago when written!

What is the percentage of children who are being raised in a home without a father - without a man to train a man, without a man to model “manhood” both to the future generations of men and women?!

Older men, great men - are you looking to pass on your wisdom and experience to a younger man who wants to learn, grow, and mature?

What role do books play in this process? As mentioned above, we will be rolling out our Quarterly Book Discussions - we’ll read a book and then record our perspectives and thoughts on the book - a new book each quarter - and we’ll break down the book into four segments, four podcast discussions, to be released on Friday mornings along with our normal Monday T4M episodes.

John Wooden - first thing Coach Wooden started with - a T4M principle - the socks!!!
