Hey dads, I'm so excited to share our first YouTube video with you! Bruce Benge and I sat down and talked about everything he's learned about fathering. Man, it was so moving. The bit that really gets me is the importance of not doing life alone. As dads, we struggle to ask for help, and yet it's so important that we do life together. If the enemy can isolate us, he's won half the battle. But together, we're stronger. That's exactly why this community exists. Where do you find it hardest to ask for help as a dad? Drop it in the comments. I'll go first. And if you know a dad who could do with some encouragement, send this his way. https://youtu.be/7k_xabf_yAg

Didn’t take the cold plunge this morning or get to go for my run. The kids made the bath dirty and half emptied it yesterday. It’s so like that aye. 4 kids been sick vomiting this week. But is the bath half empty or still half full? Sometimes it feels like you’re going backwards, especially when the kids are sick and your little helpers are all out of action. But honestly, I’ve been choosing to see it half full. Last week we managed to squeeze in a sailing window between sickness and weather and went around the Bay of Islands for four days. It was absolutely epic. And because it’s the holidays, I’ve been able to be home, so Bex and I can tag team it. In the early hours this morning (Chaz woke me up at 4:30am feeling sick) I was reflecting on “If today was my last day on earth, how would I spend it?” I’m not going to lie. I’d spend it having fun with my family, which feels a bit selfish. As Christians we can feel like we’re meant to be out there serving and saving the world. I know it’s not the stereotypical Christian answer. But when I’m having fun with my family, that’s when I’m in my happiest place. You have to keep focusing on being present and what really matters. What would you say?
