October's general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was full of eternal truths AND eternal warrior principles (because eternal warrior principles are grounded in eternal truth). Rob and Lloyd take time to discuss a few of the favorite and most meaningful things they learned from conference and how applying them will help us be more of the father we want to be. Rob also takes a moment to say a few parting words as he has to step away from podcast responsibilities...

Prayer is one of the most fundamental things we do in the gospel and in life, but many of us still struggle with it in some shape or form. Rob and Lloyd take some time to share things they have used and ideas they have to make our prayers more powerful, with the ultimate goal of being able to connect with our Father in Heaven so He can direct us to become the fathers we desire to be. One idea they discuss is the concept of a "warrior's prayer." A lot of good information and suggestions can...

We all have at least one thing we need to work on to improve ourselves, but sometimes we don't know where to begin. Rob and Lloyd share some things they learned when they recently attended a fireside given by Maurice Harker, founder of Life Changing Services, where Maurice teaches us as parents how we can use the "Discover, Plan, Act, Reflect" tool (or DPAR) to work on that "one thing." This is a great tool shared with us from our prophet and leaders found in the Children and Youth program in...

Summer vacations and having your children out of school may have messed with your routine. Your goals may have taken a hit. Rob and Lloyd experienced it.

For more detailed information on MAN PWR goals and other principles of self-mastery they discuss, you can get a free copy of the book "Like Dragons Did They Fight" here. You can also...

Everyone needs a good support system but because we are strong, or at least try to appear that way when we are not feeling it, sometimes we--especially men--don't admit that help is exactly what we need in the moment. Rob and Lloyd have a great conversation with Ben Smith, clinician at Life Changing Services, discussing the importance of having a good team of supportive, helpful people in your life. Ben tells how he decided on his "Board of Directors" when he needed help overcoming his own...

There is one attribute all fathers--indeed, all people--should develop that doesn't get talked about much and when it does it's often misunderstood. Rob and Lloyd discuss why becoming more meek is so important in our relationship with our family especially, but in all of our relationships generally. They do so with the help of talks from Elders Neal A. Maxwell and David A. Bednar. Rob shares a story about Brigham Young and Joseph Smith that can be found in this address. Rob and Lloyd were...

Rob and Lloyd have the good fortune of talking with Wes and Spenny, hosts of The Eternal Warrior Podcast, and all-around great guys.

All along the way it's great advice for any father and a fun--and touching--episode. If you...

Sometimes, in the righteous desire to help our children, we wrongly think we are the only ones who can. Using messages from then-Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf and Pres. Henry B. Eyring, Rob and Lloyd talk about the importance of trusting Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ, to be able to do Their work, and that faith in Jesus Christ is the first principle of the gospel for a reason. Life Changing Services is now offering a Spiritual Psychology Masterclass to go more in-depth into...

Joy D. Jones. If you would like more information on how...

For men, feelings are not always fun to discuss, so Rob and Lloyd teach about a tool we fathers--and anyone--can use to help us recognize and deal with our feelings in an appropriate, healthy way. They also talk about how using this tool can help in recognizing Satan's lies and defeating them. The quote they use from Elder Bednar in this episode can be found in the talk "Quick to Observe." If you feel you and/or your family could use some personalized help in perfecting how to apply...

He uses quotes from the following talks/articles: Little Children The Home: The School of...

Holland and this one from Elder Hartman Rector Jr. If you could use some help strengthening or repairing your...

Holland about the quest for perfection. And here is the full quote we used toward the beginning of the episode. For more on the...

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. Click here to learn more about the Eternal Warriors...
