This is our Daunted Life a Man's Podcast.
1:19
I'm your host Kyle Thompson.
1:21
Let's get into it.
1:22
All right, guys, there are no two ways about it and there's a lot of different ways.
1:25
I can't say it, but the way I thought to say it for you is that we're going for it.
1:30
We are absolutely going for it.
1:33
We here at Undaunted Life, we are about to enter the fight, okay?
1:37
We're going farther behind enemy lines than we have ever gone before, but we can't do it
1:43
without you.
1:45
So more on that here in a second, so definitely stick around.
1:48
But I wanted to get into this podcast about the philosophy of Undaunted Life but also about
1:52
where we're going because there is a fight that is right before us that a lot of people
1:57
are not equipped to battle.
1:58
They're not equipped to be a part of the battle.
2:01
So I want to go in a little bit here to why we do what we do.
2:05
Because I've been asked that a lot before, like Kyle, why talk about the subjects you
2:08
talk about?
2:09
Why go into the issues that you go into?
2:12
And really, guys, this all starts with most content that's being created, okay?
2:16
And so most of the content that's created, you know, for men, if you're listening to
2:19
this, I'm using air quotes there for men, it fails to equip men to be spiritually, mentally
2:25
and physically resilient in the face of life's obstacles, right?
2:28
That's probably the easiest way to say it.
2:30
The content tends to be very feminine, very secular, broad, overly broad, a little bit
2:35
corny a lot of times, but with Undaunted Life, we're producing content specifically designed
2:41
for the rugged Christian man looking for ways to improve as a man, okay?
2:45
So the men that consume our content, for the most part, they cultivate manly resilience
2:50
on a daily basis and they really do stand ready to push back against spiritual and cultural
2:55
darkness.
2:56
And that's really what we're trying to equip men to do because a lot of men, they're trying
3:00
their best, but they don't really know exactly how to pull that off.
3:03
But there is spiritual darkness and cultural darkness that needs to be pushed back on.
3:08
And you guys have seen this, right?
3:10
There's certainly some things going on in the spirit realm right now that a lot of us
3:14
can't really maybe even put our fingers on, but we can feel it, we can sense it.
3:17
It's just this overwhelming darkness in our churches and some of the things that are
3:21
going on, but especially with culture.
3:23
There's a lot of things coming up right now within culture.
3:25
There's things about transgenderism and about race and about religious freedom overall.
3:31
And guys, if you're not prepared to push back on some of the bad arguments that are happening,
3:36
then you're not ready.
3:37
You're not ready for the fight, okay?
3:39
And so that's why I want to announce today with this podcast that we're kind of refreshing
3:43
some stuff and redoing some stuff and we've got some very, very exciting things that we
3:47
need your help with.
3:48
So stick around.
3:49
But the very first thing is we've got a new mission statement, okay?
3:52
And that's this, undaunted life equips men to push back darkness with content that forges
3:58
spiritual, mental and physical resilience.
4:01
So a lot of that guys is going to be familiar to you, especially the part about spiritual
4:05
mental and physical resilience, but we're replacing cultivating manly resilience with
4:09
pushback darkness.
4:10
Okay, and the thing about cultivating manly resilience, some people don't really know
4:15
exactly what that means.
4:16
It's maybe not as clear as I would have wanted it, even though I'm kind of a wordsmith, I
4:19
try to make things as clear as possible, but pushback darkness, I think guys get, I think
4:24
guys feel that creeping darkness in on their lives and what they're trying to do is push
4:29
back on it.
4:30
And a lot of guys don't know exactly how to do that.
4:32
And so that really leads into the new vision that I've never actually shared with anybody.
4:36
I've never actually shared this with anybody other than my wife, but there's kind of a
4:39
five-pronged vision for why we're doing what we're doing.
4:43
So guys, if you're in Don Donton life, if you've listened to any of our content before, this
4:47
should be interesting to you.
4:48
So just kind of hang on with me.
4:49
It'll be quick.
4:50
But the first part of our vision is we want men to know how to seek the lion of Judah.
4:54
Okay.
4:55
So, you know, I've talked about this a lot.
4:56
Churches and pastors have done a good job teaching us about, you know, the beauty and
5:00
the grandeur of the Lamb of God, but they have almost completely ignored the lion of
5:05
Judah.
5:06
And I talk about that all the time, we will show men how to view and worship Jesus in
5:10
his totality.
5:11
Okay.
5:12
So the second part of the vision is that churches will be man-friendly and man-centered.
5:17
Okay.
5:18
So picking on the churches again, many churches do not even consider the men when they prepare
5:23
their sermon content, when they're preparing music, their programming, just, you know,
5:27
and so on and so forth.
5:29
And it shows in their declining membership and their attendance numbers, right?
5:33
Those things are going the opposite direction of what they want them to do, but we will
5:37
show churches how to make their congregations attractive to men.
5:42
So the third part of the vision here is that men will take back the ground seated to darkness
5:47
in the church, right?
5:49
This kind of ties in with the mission, but there have been a lot of, I guess the best
5:53
way to say would be impotent pastors that have allowed demonic Marxist ideologies like
6:00
postmodernism and feminism and critical theory to really permeate the hearts and minds of
6:06
their congregants.
6:07
And that is unacceptable.
6:08
So we're going to show men, the men of the congregation, how to fight against those ideologies.
6:14
Okay.
6:15
Now with the fourth part of the vision, I think this is important, but it ties to the last
6:18
thing, which is men will take back the ground seated to darkness in the culture, right?
6:23
So we just got through talking about the church.
6:25
Now we're going to talk about culture.
6:26
So many churches have begun to operate downstream of culture.
6:30
So culture becomes very, very important, right?
6:34
And the culture in the West is speedily running in the direction of this supposed secular utopia
6:39
that is supposed to be out there, right?
6:41
But we're going to show men how to engage on every front of the culture wars.
6:46
And the last part here, and this certainly doesn't wrap up all of our philosophies, but
6:49
it really does kind of put a bow on the vision.
6:51
It's this modern boys will go through defined rights of passage.
6:58
And I know that perked a lot of your ears up because guys, there are very few cultures
7:02
in the world today that have defined rights of passage that young men, you know, go on
7:08
this arduous journey.
7:10
It takes them on this arduous journey, but important journey from boyhood to manhood.
7:15
So we're going to help show men how to lead their boys, how to call their boys into man
7:21
hood.
7:22
And then there's a lot more to come with that.
7:24
But you know, I'll just kind of leave that there as the primer.
7:26
So part of what we've done with kind of the revamp of our mission and vision is we've
7:31
made some recent changes.
7:32
Okay.
7:33
So we have a brand new website.
7:34
So guys, if you check out our website, it's just www dot undaunted dot life, you can check
7:38
it all out there.
7:39
We had a horrible website before we tried to work with a guy to try to get the website
7:44
going.
7:45
It was not a great experience.
7:46
So we put that back in house.
7:47
So that is all back here on us.
7:49
And so that should be better for you.
7:50
We've got a new podcast logo.
7:52
So guys, if you didn't know what my ugly mug looked like before the new podcast logo,
7:56
I am so sorry, but it's on the logo now.
7:59
And that's just my face.
8:00
Okay.
8:01
I can't do anything about it.
8:02
I'm unwilling to do anything about it, but guys, you got to admit my beard was on point
8:06
in that picture.
8:07
I'm just saying my beard was on point that day.
8:09
It looked good in the picture.
8:10
My wife's a photographer.
8:11
She was bound to get a good photo.
8:12
That's a new podcast logo.
8:14
Also you're going to see some slight modifications and changes to the overall podcast format.
8:19
Those are going to kind of be evolving here in the near term, but you're still going to
8:22
have a lot of the same types of things that you've grown to love.
8:25
We've also, and this was pretty big, it took a long time, but we have launched a YouTube
8:29
channel.
8:30
Yes.
8:31
We have finally launched a YouTube channel.
8:32
I've been asked over and over and over Kyle.
8:34
When are you going to put your podcast on YouTube?
8:35
I listened to it on YouTube premiere or premium or whatever.
8:37
It's called, or hey, when are you going to start doing video things?
8:40
Well, guys, if you're listening to my voice right now, you could be looking at my ugly
8:44
face doing this via video.
8:46
So I'm going to be recording all my solo podcasts via video.
8:50
Those will go out just like normal on all the audio platforms, but then you will have
8:53
it on the YouTube video platform as well.
8:55
And guys, our last three interviews that we did.
8:57
So if you're caught up, we talked with John Cooper of Skillet, Holly McKay, who wrote only
9:01
cry for the living and Justin Briarley from the unbelievable podcast over in the UK.
9:06
All three of those are video, video interviews.
9:08
So you can see the people that we're talking to, you can kind of see the interactions that
9:13
we're having back and forth.
9:14
And so all the ones that we have coming up, all the interviews that we have coming up,
9:17
those will be available via video.
9:19
So you can check those out.
9:20
And now also you can download our book list, right?
9:23
The hundred books every modern Christian man should read list.
9:26
You can download it and keep it.
9:27
So we struggled for a while with what is the best format to have this in because our original
9:32
idea, we built out this entire webpage with everything on there.
9:36
It became a complete pain in the butt to change out any of the books, right?
9:40
So I didn't change the book list for months and months and months on end cause I'll just
9:44
don't want to get on the website and mess with all that.
9:46
And so now it's very easy for me to change out books because guys, I will change out,
9:50
you know, between maybe five and 10 of the books out of the hundred every year.
9:53
I kind of like shift things around as I read things and as other people suggest things
9:57
to me.
9:58
So now you can go to our website, just on daunted.life/booklist and you can actually
10:02
download the book list for yourself, which is awesome.
10:05
But now we're going to transition to this part of the podcast where we're going to be
10:08
talking about how specifically you can help with some of the changes that we're going
10:12
through.
10:13
So I get asked out a lot and you've heard me talk about that a lot.
10:15
Guys are like, Hey, Kyle, what can I do?
10:17
I love what you're doing.
10:18
I love everything about the content that's coming out.
10:20
We need more of it.
10:22
How can I help?
10:23
So there's kind of two categories of help or two different tiers of help.
10:28
There's the easy stuff and then there's the deeper stuff.
10:31
So let's just go over the easy stuff because if you haven't done this already, this is
10:34
a big help.
10:35
So wherever you get your content, follow us there, okay?
10:40
So we're on Facebook.
10:41
We're on Instagram.
10:42
We're kind of on Twitter, but we're not super active on that.
10:44
Now we're on YouTube.
10:46
Follow us in all these places, okay, subscribe or whatever the thing is that you have to
10:50
do wherever you're listening to this right now.
10:53
Make sure you hit the subscribe button every time that happens.
10:56
The algorithm, whether it's on Spotify or Apple music or iHeartRadio or whatever, wherever
11:00
you're listening to this, the algorithm loves when you interact with us, right?
11:04
Whether you're leaving us comments or whether you're leaving us reviews, but that's that's
11:07
an easy thing.
11:08
Just follow us.
11:09
Subscribe.
11:10
The second thing is rate.
11:11
So everyone kind of has a different thing like on Apple podcast, you can actually give
11:14
me a five star rating, but I don't think there's a way to do that on Spotify.
11:17
But wherever you're listening to this, make sure you give us a five star rating.
11:21
That's one way that you can help, right?
11:22
That's an easy thing.
11:23
And the other thing is to share, right?
11:25
And so I mean that in the minor sense to where it's like, if you find a podcast episode that
11:28
you like, you can share it to your personal Facebook page.
11:31
You can share it to your Instagram.
11:32
You can share it to your stories or to your reels.
11:34
You can share it wherever you share it.
11:36
Share it via email.
11:37
I don't care how you share it.
11:38
But the other thing about it is just don't keep this podcast and this content a secret.
11:43
Make sure to tell the guys in your life about what it is that we do because I know a lot
11:47
of guys that are like, yeah, you know, how did you, how did you read that book or how
11:50
did you find that book?
11:51
It's like, well, I mean, a buddy gave it to me.
11:53
A buddy suggested it to me.
11:54
Again, I talk about our foxhole on Sunday nights all the time, like those books that
11:58
we read, they usually came from recommendations from somewhere else, right?
12:02
So make sure that you are following, rating and sharing.
12:06
But now we're getting into the deeper stuff.
12:08
So hey, Kyle, I want to help with Undaunted Life.
12:11
How can I help?
12:12
And this is super important.
12:13
This part is super, super important.
12:15
And I want to be very clear and very upfront with you guys.
12:18
We've provided everything that we've ever done with Undaunted Life to you guys for free
12:24
with no strings attached.
12:26
And that has been since 2016.
12:28
That was when we released our very first U version devotional was back in 2016, if you
12:32
can believe it.
12:33
So all of our devotionals and now a hundred and eighty nine of the previous podcast episodes
12:39
have all been out there for free, okay?
12:43
But in order to expand, to improve the lives of more and more men that are just like you,
12:49
we have to have your help and there are no two ways about it.
12:52
We absolutely have to get your help.
12:54
So I've got two big asks for you today on this podcast or video, however you're taking
12:59
in this content.
13:00
The number one big ask is that you would partner with us by becoming a monthly donor
13:05
to Undaunted Life.
13:06
And the second is to introduce our content to your churches and to men's events.
13:12
So let me kind of break, break into those a little bit further.
13:14
So the first thing, partner with us by becoming a monthly donor, okay?
13:18
Now we've made a philosophical decision.
13:20
This is very important.
13:21
Okay.
13:22
This is because a lot of people ask for money.
13:23
There's a lot of office out there.
13:24
There's a lot of businesses that are asking for donations like I get it.
13:27
You're constantly getting inundated.
13:28
You're getting emails.
13:29
I get it.
13:30
But I want to show you a little bit of a different philosophy here.
13:32
We've made a philosophical decision here at Undaunted Life about how we are going to
13:36
grow what we're doing here, okay?
13:39
We will utilize free platforms like YouTube, like Instagram, like everything else, anywhere
13:46
and any way that we can, okay?
13:49
But we will not rely on them, okay?
13:54
We also will not rely on crowdfunding sites like Patreon or different things like that.
13:59
And there's a very, very clear reason for that because our content is ripe for cancellation.
14:07
So we've talked about cancel culture and there's a lot of kind of misnomers around what even
14:11
cancel culture is.
14:12
And so I'm going to be getting to that maybe even on next week's podcast, but certainly
14:14
here in the very near future.
14:16
But the things that we're talking about are heterodox.
14:19
They're completely counter-cultural right now because we're looking at everything through
14:22
a Christian worldview, which is kind of counter-culture now.
14:25
But also we tell the truth about LGBTQ issues.
14:28
We tell the truth about what's going on in the country in terms of crime, in terms of
14:33
racism and those different things.
14:35
And we're going to tell the truth in terms of what we see with COVID-19, with things
14:39
going on in politics.
14:40
But the thing is is where we fall on those issues guys is not where big tech falls, right?
14:46
So you've seen and you've heard, excuse me, you've heard about people that have been
14:50
kicked off Patreon, right?
14:52
For either a position they hold that is offensive or a thing that they said that they deemed
14:56
to be offensive.
14:57
There's also the hate speech regulations that are going around with things like YouTube,
15:01
like Google.
15:02
And so for us, we're going to use YouTube as long as we can use YouTube.
15:06
And guys, we've got a lot of changes and a lot of things that we're going to plan to
15:09
do there.
15:10
But what we've decided to do is to take the direct to you approach, or I guess a better
15:15
way saying it would be direct from you approach.
15:18
This is similar to what Steven Crowder does with, you know, mug club and things like that
15:22
to where it's like, okay, you become a member.
15:24
And then that allows him to have the money to produce the content that he needs to produce,
15:28
even if he is canceled from YouTube, completely deplatformed.
15:31
If he is taken off of Twitter, he'll still be able to maintain the content.
15:35
It'll just have to go through his personal site.
15:37
Okay.
15:38
So I know if I'm like you guys, I've got a lot of things that I give to on a monthly basis,
15:43
right?
15:44
You know, my Amazon Prime subscription and I've got, you know, UFC fight pass and I've
15:47
got all these different things that I spend money on.
15:49
I don't usually have a lot of funny money.
15:51
I don't really spend money on, you know, coffee and all that kind of stuff every day.
15:55
But we all spend money on things that when we look back on our monthly budgets or our
15:58
yearly budgets, we're like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe I spent that much money on that.
16:02
And I'm not hating on the entertainment and spending money on this or money on that unless
16:05
you're watching Netflix.
16:06
Got a problem with that.
16:07
Go back to my episode where I talked about why you should cancel Netflix.
16:09
But the thing is, is you have to think about whether this content is going to be an improvement
16:14
to your life overall and an improvement to the men in your life.
16:18
Because guys, we're going to continue to expand our offerings.
16:21
And I'm going to give you a list here in just a second of all the things that we're planning
16:24
to do after we get the these monthly donations after we get all that running because there's
16:29
a lot more that we can do, but we have to have the means to do it.
16:33
Things definitely cost money.
16:35
We will expand and change and improve how we do donations.
16:38
But for now, I just wanted to get everything up on our website so you can literally go
16:41
to www.undaunted.life/donate again, backslash donate to become a partner with us.
16:48
And then there's the second part, the second big ask, which is to introduce our content
16:53
to your churches and your men's events, okay?
16:56
So also on my website, I've got undaunted.life/speaking.
17:00
So one thing that I do is whenever my content has been introduced to people or churches,
17:04
they will have me come in and speak at their men's events, right?
17:07
And so a lot of people, just like the content I was talking about from the top, you have
17:10
a lot of these men's speakers.
17:12
Again, I'm using air quotes for those that can't see me.
17:15
They're basically presenting in a feminine way, but they're doing it cloaked as a man.
17:19
I guess is the easiest way to say it.
17:21
And guys leave mildly inspired by the story or whatever happened, but then they don't
17:26
really make any tangible changes.
17:28
And so one thing about my style in terms of whenever I speak, especially when I speak
17:32
life is I have expectations on people in terms of what they're going to do and how they're
17:36
going to adjust things.
17:37
I'm not your cheerleader, right?
17:38
I'm not the guy that you just wind up and send on stage and say, all right, get everybody
17:41
excited, even though they're not going to do anything with the stuff that they learn
17:44
by tomorrow.
17:45
So we have a definite way of doing that, which changes things to where guys can actually
17:48
improve immediately.
17:50
They've got tangible things they can do that day.
17:52
But also I consult with churches.
17:54
So a lot of churches struggle with men's ministry and some of them struggle with even defining
17:59
what men's ministry is, even in the macro sense.
18:02
A lot of them maybe just do once or twice a year, they'll do some sort of a cookout,
18:06
some sort of a men's prayer breakfast or something like that, or they'll bring in a retired football
18:10
player to come and speak to the guys or it's something like that.
18:13
And those aren't necessarily wrong, but it's not men's ministry, like, let's just be real.
18:18
That's just an event.
18:19
That's just a program.
18:21
They're not doing anything to make their church more man-friendly or man-centered.
18:25
And that goes back to our vision.
18:26
We want churches to be more man-friendly and more man-centered.
18:29
And so we are actually consulting with churches to help them get a vibrant actual men's ministry
18:35
going in their churches.
18:36
If you're struggling with getting your men to commit to volunteering, to doing projects,
18:42
to mentoring, to discipling, there's an issue there.
18:47
And it's not just an issue that you should lament.
18:49
It's an issue that you should take strides to actively change.
18:53
So again, the two big asks are, one, become a monthly provider or monthly donor to undaunted
19:00
life, partner with us in that way.
19:02
And the second thing is to introduce our content to your churches, into your men's events.
19:06
But guys, if we're able to do the things that I just said, they're on the donator side,
19:10
right?
19:11
So you can donate as a one-time donation or you can donate monthly.
19:14
Here's the types of things that you can expect.
19:16
Here are the things that we've talked about here internally.
19:19
Here are things that we've kind of prepared to really go in that direction of creating
19:23
more stuff that's in that vein that you guys want.
19:26
So one is expanded podcast offerings.
19:28
Okay, so we're going to expand this podcast to way more than just one day a week, right?
19:32
And that will lead to also more interviews and things like that, a new studio.
19:36
So as you can see, if you are watching this right now, this is a temporary studio.
19:39
It works great for me.
19:40
This is actually a thing, my third different studio that I've kind of moved around and
19:43
done things with.
19:44
It works great, but we will have a new studio so it's more conducive to people coming in
19:48
so we can do the next thing, which is live interviews.
19:50
We want to do a lot more live interviews here in this area or me on site interviewing
19:54
people other places as well.
19:56
We will have expanded devotionals for our site and for you version because a lot of
20:00
you guys are like, hey, why do you only have these ones that are up here now?
20:02
I want to have more.
20:03
I get it.
20:04
We want to expand that offering to you.
20:05
The next thing is expanding YouTube content.
20:07
Again, producing good YouTube content can be expensive, like making sure that you have
20:12
the equipment that you have the people that can edit it up because right now it's it's
20:15
basically just me doing a lot of things on the content side.
20:18
Foxhole curriculum for men's groups, episode 104 of this podcast called your foxhole is
20:23
one of the most listened to episodes, one of the favorite episodes from you guys out there.
20:27
And it's because most guys don't have a foxhole.
20:29
They don't have a group of guys that they can be around and I'm going to develop curriculum
20:32
around those types of things so that you're not sitting there wondering like, Oh, I don't
20:36
know how to do any of these things like how do I build my own foxhole?
20:39
We're going to build that curriculum out for you.
20:41
Also, man friendly church curriculum for churches.
20:43
I've already talked about that writes a passage curriculum for fathers and sons.
20:48
That is one of the things that is most requested for these men's groups and men's entities.
20:52
And either they just ignore it or they don't really know how to address it.
20:56
We're going to address it.
20:57
We're going to create definable curriculum.
20:59
Okay, we've also talked about doing mastermind groups.
21:01
So getting you guys into these digital groups where you can kind of like, you know, be iron
21:05
sharpening iron, writing books.
21:07
I've been asked to write books a lot about a lot of different things.
21:10
And I think early in one of my earlier episodes, I said it's it's more likely that I would
21:13
write a book than then write another devotional while I'd like to do both for you guys.
21:17
Also book clubs, I looked at some of you guys and I asked you guys for your feedback a few
21:21
months back.
21:22
And a lot of guys were like, I want to do like a digital book club.
21:24
So we're looking into how we can pull that off for you guys to where you can interact
21:27
with one another as we're all kind of reading the same book.
21:30
We've talked about doing live events.
21:31
So getting you guys together at different places in the United States to do live events,
21:36
excursion type of things.
21:37
Also one on one coaching and mentoring.
21:39
I've been asked to do some one on one mentoring with some folks like some guys that hey, that
21:43
they have the means and they have the time and they want to kind of shift some things
21:46
and take care of some things in their life.
21:47
They want to build spiritual mental and physical resilience and they want me to kind of coach
21:50
them in that way.
21:51
Also merch.
21:52
I've been asked a million times to do merch.
21:54
Hey, I want a sticker for my truck or a car.
21:55
I want a t-shirt or one of those things, well, building out a store and making sure that
21:59
we have all the things in place, all the logistics in place to where you can get the stuff that
22:02
you need.
22:03
All those things are important.
22:05
So that's kind of the general list of some of the things that we will do with these donations
22:09
with the guys like you that are going to partner with us.
22:11
But also I just need you guys to let me know like what kinds of things you want first because
22:16
it is impossible to do all the things that I just said on that list right now.
22:20
And so there are some low hanging fruit things that we're working on right now, but ultimately,
22:24
I love your feedback.
22:25
So send me an email info at undonton.life again, that's just I N F O at undonton.life.
22:31
Let me know what it is that you're into.
22:32
Okay.
22:33
Like, Hey, I really want this first or I want that or, you know, Hey, I don't really care
22:36
about this type of thing or here's something that wasn't on your list, but something that
22:39
you should super consider.
22:40
So all that's great.
22:41
We've got all that out of the way.
22:42
You've got the mission and vision.
22:43
You kind of have why we're doing what we're doing.
22:45
You've got the kind of the minor asks and then you've got the deeper level things, right,
22:50
partnering with us and then sharing this content with your churches, right?
22:52
So so you're all on board with that.
22:54
But here's the bottom line guys, we're stepping out on faith that this thing, whatever this
23:00
is will grow and that you will support us in that growth.
23:06
Okay.
23:07
We're going to let the open marketplace tell us whether or not our content has a wide enough
23:13
audience to continue doing this, okay?
23:15
Like I'm not a super romantic guy.
23:17
I'm not just going to ride this thing out for the sake of riding it out.
23:20
We want to make sure that the marketplace can sustain the types of things that we're going
23:22
to do.
23:23
And if we find out that it doesn't, then we'll close up shop.
23:29
I mean, it's just that simple.
23:30
I mean, we'll go do something else and leave you all with the content that we've made up
23:36
to that point with the devotionals and the videos and the podcasts and different things
23:40
like that.
23:41
I'll leave you with those things, but we believe that God has called us into this fight.
23:48
So we are going to give it absolutely everything that we've got, absolutely everything that
23:53
we've got.
23:55
We refuse to look back on this time period in our lives, especially for me personally,
24:01
I refuse to look back on this time period of my life and think about it and regret and
24:07
wish that I would have done something different or wish that I would have done more or pushed
24:10
harder.
24:11
We're going for it 100 percent.
24:15
We just ask that you come along with us.
24:17
All right, guys, before we let you go, we are going to do a quick resilience boost out
24:21
on Donald's life.
24:22
Our mission is equipping men to push back darkness with content that for just spiritual, mental
24:26
and physical resilience.
24:27
So I'm just going to run down the links I have for you.
