Today's conversation with Noah Elias - Believer. Husband. Father. Artist. Mentor. He believes our time, talent and treasure are to be stewarded to help impact the lives around us and build God’s kingdom.Noah discusses how he had been operating out of pride, ego, and greed until he rewired his operating system. Instead, he began to use the time, talent, and treasure that God have him. Understating his identity in God and his place in his kingdom led him to solidify his role as a father. He shares how he had no grid to what a good dad looks like. Instead, he had surrogate fathers to model from. He reminds us the importance of finding that group to model after if you don’t have it. He talks about mastering ourselves before even trying to instill that in others.Noah is the author of the best-selling book “Speedbumps” and the life-transforming book “#fearhunters” which helps people remove fear and shame from their life so they may live in their true identity and calling.Noah and his wife Chantel launched a home in South Africa the “Ingane Forever Family Home” which has helped rescue and care for AIDS Orphans and those with special needs. They have also partnered with National and International ministry initiatives to impact at-risk youth as well as leadership training in underdeveloped countries. “I believe this gift of creativity that God gave me can be used to impact lives through events, creativity, and relationships. Creativity is a gift entrusted to me not to build a life of success but one of significance.”  -- Noah Elias Read more about Noah here:Instagram Facebookwww.noahfineart.comwww.noahuniversity.comCheck out his free special webinar Kingdom Operating System His books: Speed Bumps: My Journey Using Life's Challenges as Launching Pads and Fearhunters: How to Remove the Fear and Shame That Stand Between You and the Life You are Destined to Live ----------Order The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.Follow us:Instagram: www.instagram.com/rebelandcreateYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/rebelandcreate/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rebelandcreate

As a sports medicine physician and coach, Justin Grant knows it's not just the destination but the journey that matters most. This father-to-four, married to his wife for ten years, opens up about how as a lifelong athlete, he is rebelling against the idea that sport is only about winning.  Striving to win provides an opportunity for character development, but losing sight of character development in the pursuit of winning also loses the purpose of sport and of "winning" itself. One of the most important character traits we can develop through the pursuit of winning is resilience or mental toughness.Justin shares his insight on how to balance parenting and raising athletes with unconditional love and being truly present. He opens up about how his father's anger issues in his childhood affected parenting his own children. Life is hard. If we don't have a certain level of resilience, we're just simply not going to thrive.  Our children need to develop mental and emotional resilience and it's our role to help nurture that in our homes. It can be taught and Justin shares practical tips on how to learn this alongside your children. Justin Grant is a Christian husband and father to four beautiful children. Professionally, he is a rural sports medicine physician and owner/founder of Athlos Life where he and his wife forge Lifelong Athletes for a Higher purpose.
