ANECDOTE

Spirit Led Transformations At The Retreat

  • Brook and Justin described the fatherhood retreat as a Spirit-led, transformative event where men openly confessed and formed covenant friendships.
  • Justin saw 600 dads as future generations changed, with men spontaneously kneeling, praying, and confessing by the end of night one.
ADVICE

Set Guardrails Before You Drive Hard At Work

  • Set protective guardrails like Scripture-before-phone, family dinners, weekly date nights, and regular exercise to protect family rhythms while pursuing vocation.
  • Justin recommends strong devotional and family rhythms so you can 'drive fast' at work within those boundaries without collapsing home life.
ADVICE

Confess First To Covenant Friends Then Your Spouse

  • If you can't safely confess to your wife, first confess to covenant friends or a pastor who will give both grace and truth.
  • Those friends will help you decide how much and how to bring the confession to your spouse with wisdom and care.
