301. Realizing your power as a man.
There is power in a man's words. It is so important that men use these words for building up. A man is made for greatness and his words convey greatness or a wimpy man who is just existing.

Rick's books have expanded his work to include influencing the whole family, with life-changing insights for men and women on parenting, marriage, and personal growth. Inspiring and equipping through innovative multimedia presentations and seminars, Rick's resources, methods and personal approach have been transforming the lives of men, women, and their families for over ten years. Rick Johnson Boots on the Ground: Pick a Wednesday and track yourself for 24 hours and see how much time you have wasted on self indulgences. Evaluate that for yourself. As yourself, am I wasting my life on these things? www.meninthearena.org Men in the Arena Books and Swag Support the Podcast The online Men in the Arena forum

Popsicle of Death EP 300
There's a buzz among hunters in the PNW about the reintroduction of wolves into the northwest. A man recently showed me a picture of a wolf track that he said came from the Coast Ridge Range just a few miles west of McMinnville, which is why the story in Rick's book caught my attention! In his book Rick tells about a technique Eskimos use for hunting wolves. They dip a razor-sharp hunting knife in fresh blood and let it freeze. They repeat this process over and over until the knife is coated and looks (and smells) like a tasty blood-sicle. The knife handle is then secured in the ice, ground, or other stable place with the bloody blade exposed. When a wolf finds the knife, he licks the exposed blade with increased passion, as he tastes the thawing blood. Quickly, the blood frenzy he reaches a climax as the wolf's tongue is sliced deeper and deeper through his own blood lust. Eventually, the wolf bleeds to death—a self-inflicted wound (James 1:13-15). www.meninthearena.org Men in the Arena Books and Swag Support the Podcast The online Men in the Arena forum
