In this episode, Chip and Bryan explore the deeper meaning of remembering, beyond simply recalling facts, to truly “re-member” ourselves by integrating emotions, experiences, and relationships. Chip shares how parents can grow emotionally and spiritually by acknowledging distance, practicing daily remembrance, and facing the impossible, creating deeper connections with their children and with God.

This conversation invites us to live fully, love deeply, and lead well, leaving a legacy of goodness.

 “The Twelve Movements of a Man’s Life,” also presented a picture of the man that a woman needs and hopes will come into her life.

The Twelve Movements of a Man's Life #12: A Man Will Step Out into the Future

Twelve Movements of a Man’s Life #11: A Man Knows That He is God’s Masterpiece

Movement #6 - A man identifies himself with mercy:

He knows that but for the grace and mercy of God, he would not be “where he is.” He would not be able to identify himself with The Twelve Movements, and he would not be able to implement them. 

Because he identifies his own need for mercy, having received it himself, he tends to be merciful and gentle without being weak.

Join Dr. Chip Dodd and Bryan Barley as they continue their series on 12 Movements of a Man’s Life. This week’s episode is Movement #4, A Man Grows in Faith.

The preface to Twelve Movements of a Man’s Life is vital because the movements are not just a list of twelve things to accomplish. They are twelve movements that are about a man’s whole life. They are processes that interlock and “circles” that join and move a man into wholeness and love and legacy. 

This new podcast series, “Twelve Movements of a Man’s Life,” is not going to be exclusively for men. We want women to learn and have confidence in seeing and expecting men to be who they are created to be.

We are talking about the real meaning of resolution, what many us set our minds to focus on in the first of every year. We often fail not too long after we commit ourselves to some New Year’s resolution. There is a reason we often give up on our promises and commitments to ourselves. 

Chip & Bryan discuss the major themes and topics from their first year of Living With Heart: From Birth the Death.

Real freedom awaits us in codependency recovery—if we take the risk of hoping and then trusting that a better way of living is on the other side of the risk. (Part 3)

This is part 3 of identifying the symptoms of codependency.

Dr. Chip Dodd and Bryan Barley discuss what codependency is and is not and how is shows up in parenting.

Dr. Chip Dodd and Bryan Barley discuss that we are born as emotional and spiritual creatures. We are born with feelings.  Before we ever think or speak our first word, we are expressing ourselves as feeling creatures.

The focus of this episode is a recording of a men’s retreat that Chip did in Texas in 1993. The retreat  content was edited and put on CDs. The CDs were included with the first edition copies of The Voice of the Heart published in 2001.
