Fathers Who Fight

"What This Has To Do With Reality": Part 1 Feb 25, 2021

Maurice Harker, founder of Life Changing Services joins Rob and Lloyd this week for the first part of their discussion on self-mastery and how to apply gospel principles to life and parenting so you can become an eternal warrior fighting for the good of your family. Maurice gives some good parenting "hacks," including the Positive Assumption Technique.

Maurice is the author of "Like Dragons Did They Fight," a veritable handbook for spiritual and scientific principles to help with self-mastery of any kind, including sexual self-mastery. Maurice can also be heard on his podcast, "Memoirs of an LDS Therapist."

"If I Don't Put the Relationship First ... " Feb 18, 2021

The highest form of love is charity, and Rob and Lloyd explain what charity means to them, share experiences with charity, and talk about how important it is to develop it as a husband and father. To strengthen their points they use a few talks from general authorities past and present from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including this one from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland and this one from Elder Hartman Rector Jr.

If you could use some help strengthening or repairing your marriage, Life Changing Services has several powerful resources to help with that, namely the Lazarus Lectures, and online Marriage Repair Workshops.

Expressions of Love Feb 11, 2021

Love is always important to give, not just around Valentine's Day. Rob and Lloyd talk about the importance of showing love to the women who make us fathers--our wives. They are our most essential teammates.

The True Measure of a Man Feb 04, 2021

Rob and Lloyd discuss some things a father can do--and things he shouldn't do--to earn the respect of those most important to him: his wife and children. We rely heavily on this talk from Bishop H. Burke Peterson, former counselor in the Presiding Bishopric of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We also bring up this talk from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland about the quest for perfection. And here is the full quote we used toward the beginning of the episode.

Insights From A True Eternal Warrior Jan 28, 2021

Often when you do something with the intent to help others you end up benefiting just as much as, if not more than, those you set out to help. Such is the case with Justin, who talks with Rob and Lloyd about how he found the Eternal Warriors program, how he was hoping it would help him in his work with the youth in his ward (he currently serves as a bishop), and some of the ways it ended up helping him more than he expected.
