Last week we talked about increasing your self-worth.
Your self-worth is your inherent value, which doesn’t ever change and is great and infinite as a son of God.
Your self-esteem is your relationship with yourself.
In other words, your thoughts and feelings about yourself.
Most high achieving guys have the mindset of “I can do better.”
This is a mask for “I’m not doing or being enough.”
This leads to a feeling of inadequacy…
Which they sometimes project onto their wife and others (whatever I do it’s not good enough for you!)...
And a desire to keep getting to the “next level.”

I used to believe that I had to work to be worthy.
That my self-worth was determined by what I accomplished.
And, I still fall into that trap sometimes.
But it is a trap. Because no matter how much you accomplish…
You can always accomplish more.
Instead of this trap, try the 3 simple steps in today’s episode.
*See yourself as a beloved son of God
*Get around people who love you
*See yourself as a baby

For most of my life, I’ve felt like I need to achieve to be valuable.
I haven’t really felt like I could ever rest. I was either “growing or dying.”
The last few weeks have shown me that this isn’t really what God intends or wants for me… or for you.
Instead, we can find rest in knowing we are Sons Of The King. That we are loved, accepted and forgiven through Christ. We can stop trying to fight the battles that have already been won.
And, in that peace, we can follow Christ one step at a time as He works in us to become what He has in store for us.

Last week we learned about the problematic attachment styles in marriage.
Today we’ll learn what we need to do to earn the secure attachment that we want in marriage.
Secure attachment looks like:
-A good balance between “me” and “we”
-Feeling confident that your needs will be met
-Expressing your thoughts and feelings and listening to your wife’s
-Asking for what you need and responding to your wife’s
Sounds great, right? And you CAN get there… even if you didn’t grow up with a good example of this.
Learn how on today’s episode.

You may have heard of the different attachment styles.
Avoidant. Anxious/Ambivalent. Disorganized. And secure.
Many high achieving men were brought up in avoidant, anxious/ambivalent or even disorganized homes.
They learned the lesson that they need to figure things out on their own… and they did.
That helped them be very successful in business and work.
But, it causes significant issues in marriage.
Learn how these attachment styles show up and cause problems in marriage…
In today’s episode.

Every marriage has conflict.
In some marriages it’s very emotional and volatile, with screaming matches.
In others, it’s buried under the surface with one or both spouses silently resenting the other.
In others, one spouse wants to talk things out, while the other wants to avoid the conversation.
Whatever your pattern is, there’s a reason for it.
And it has to do with how your brain is wired.
Learn how to step OUT of unproductive conflict…
And INTO clear ways to turn conflict into MORE connection…

Recently I got my testosterone checked. I found that my total testosterone was normal, but my free testosterone was low.
This got me started on a path to try to figure out how to increase both free and total testosterone NATURALLY.
Because testosterone replacement therapy SHUTS DOWN your body’s natural production.
Jason has a long history of helping men increase their testosterone and energy levels through natural means, and I interview him today to help us understand what we can do.

When your wife takes off her wedding ring…
It can signal a BIG alarm.
Most men will either try to ignore this (while silently fearing what it might mean)…
Become passive aggressive to “pay her back” for not wearing her ring…
Or confront her in an angry way.
Fortunately, there’s a better response that can lead to MORE intimacy and connection.
Learn what it is…
In today’s episode.
