This episode may seem like two guys just asking questions of each other, however, the main point of this podcast and the challenge to us all is to put down the phones (after you have listened to the podcast) and have a genuine conversation with someone you love. We often get caught up in our daily fast paced life of work, school, volunteering, extra curricular activities, social media, video games or whatever, that we don't sit down with our friends or family and just have an honest conversation. In this episode, Caleb Davis (yep - my son) and I have a father-son, son-father conversation where we just have a conversation. We ask each other questions about the Bible, life, generational stereotypes and other interesting topics. The fun part is that we didn't share the questions with each other prior to the recording of the podcast. A tidbit for anyone that has children or young adults: Caleb provides his thoughts on how we (adults / parents) should communicate with their generation and provides some insight on their generational mindset.

As I mention at the end of the episode, the Kingdom Challenge from this podcast is having that conversation with your spouse, children or friends and seek input or advice from them and try to do more listening and not so much talking or defending - you'll be amazed at how your relationship will grow.

May is Mental Health Awareness month so we spend this episode on suicide awareness. Pastor Obie Batista is the co-host and brings great wisdom, knowledge and personal experience regarding mental health. If you do not struggle with mental health, first, thank God for that, next, please listen to the episode because there is a good chance you have a son, daughter, spouse, family member, friend, co-worker or just a casual acquaintance that does.

In this episode we discuss three major topics: 1.) Statistics regarding mental health and specifically suicide, 2.) signs to be aware of that could indicate that a person is struggling mentally and some suggestions on how connect with that individual, 3.) the HOPE that exists for all of us - Jesus Christ. Regardless of your struggle or the stage of the struggle that you are in, there IS hope and that hope comes from Jesus.

If you are struggling, please don't go through it alone. Reach out to any of the resources below to get help. As we discuss in this episode, asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. We all have a story and a testimony, God can use your struggles to help someone else!

As we have mentioned in the past, our goal is to communicate the love of Christ and empower anyone that is listening to us to follow Christ or get to know Him better. Sometimes this can be difficult to communicate as well as difficult to receive, however, the Bible and Jesus himself says that when we choose to follow Him we will suffer rejection as He did. THIS MESSAGE NEEDS TO BE HEARD AND SHARED!
