I ran 2 businesses and I’m a basketball trainer and a health coach. I’m a father of 3 kids. Life gets busy.

This is the system I use to stay in shape year-round.

Beware the empathy exploit.

Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow).

For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.

I mean, come on!

An ancient submarine? Sealed top and bottom? A stoppable air-hole? Sixteen glowing stones touched by the finger of God on a mountaintop to see in the dark?

How did Joseph Smith think he'd get away with this crazy story?

Turns out, every detail he described has been uncovered in MULTIPLE ancient texts which were UNKNOWN in 1829!

Enter, the Jaredites!

President Gordon B. Hinckley delivered a masterclass on controlling our temper and emotions. This is especially pertinent at this moment and on this platform.

Check out his talk "Slow to Anger" below!

"I plead with you to control your tempers, to put a smile upon your faces, which will erase anger; speak out with words of love and peace, appreciation, and respect. If you will do this, your lives will be without regret."

[Clint Teeples @TeeplesCY]

"If I told you there was one free thing you could do every Sunday that would make your kids happier, healthier, smarter, and closer to you, you'd think I was selling something."

Take your kids to church regularly. I don't care if you believe. The data is so lopsided that skipping it is the parenting equivalent of refusing vegetables because you don't like the taste.

Grades. Religious teens get As at almost twice the rate of nonreligious teens. In a class of 100, that's 24 A-students instead of 14. Church gives a kid the same academic boost as being born rich instead of poor.

College. Working-class religious kids earn bachelor's degrees at double the rate of their nonreligious peers. Middle-class kids do it at 1.5x the rate. For families without a trust fund, this is one of the most powerful forms of upward mobility social scientists have measured.

Character. Religious teens are far less likely to lie, cheat, or do things they hope their parents never find out about. They're more likely to care about racial equality, the elderly, and the poor. They reject the idea that morality is whatever works for you in the moment. That kind of kid doesn't happen by accident. It's built.

Closeness. 60% of parents of religious teens say they feel "extremely close" to their kid, compared to 50% of nonreligious parents. The kids report the same thing back. They get along better with their parents, talk about hard stuff, and actually want to spend time with their family.

Despair. Religious teens are dramatically less likely to be depressed, anxious, lonely, or feel that life is meaningless. 90% of devoted religious teens never binge drink, compared to 41% of the disengaged. Economists named the modern epidemic "deaths of despair." Regular church attendance is one of the strongest known buffers against it. Parents are spending fortunes trying to solve teen mental health. The most evidence-backed intervention is free.

Purpose. Religious young adults report higher purpose, gratitude, life satisfaction, and resilience. These are the exact traits every parent says they want their kid to have.

Here's why it works. Affluent families already surround their kids with networks of stable, accomplished adults through neighborhoods, schools, and parents' colleagues. Working and middle-class families usually don't. A congregation is often the last institution in American life that puts your kid in weekly contact with dozens of stable, employed, sober adults who know their name. It used to be called "a village." Now it barely exists outside of churches.

"But I don't believe." Your kid doesn't need your theology. They need you to show up.

"But church is boring." So is sitting through a kindergarten music recital. Parenting is the deliberate choice to be bored on purpose for someone you love.

There's a church within 15 minutes of nearly every American home. You don't need money, connections, or credentials to walk in. Nothing else in this country will surround your kid with engaged adults, teach them moral seriousness, and give them a stable weekly rhythm at zero cost.

You already drive them to practices that produce far less. The free thing on Sunday produces more, on more dimensions, than almost anything else you do as a parent.

You don't have to believe anything. You just have to take them.

They have to face the true facts! It isn’t just a word, it’s a human being.All the public needs to hear what actually takes place in details n the videos ...they should show these to all...students in schools too..maybe more babies lives would be spared *Abortion Is Murder - God Will Judge "Murderers."

Great story from Coach K on running into a former camper and the lesson this man carried with him.

Coach K asked all the kids at the camp...

"Who do you talk to the most?"

“Yourself… so when you talk to yourself, why not be yourself's best friend?”

A lot of performers are entertaining an internal voice that’s critical, impatient, and unforgiving.

We say things to ourselves we’d never say to a teammate and then we expect confidence, consistency, and composure to follow.

You're in a lifelong conversation with yourself. Make it one worth having.

You gotta be happy for Havre High head coach Tommy Brown. 25. Second year replacing a 6-time state champ and leads Havre to a state title in dominant fashion.

“It’s very little that I do,” Brown said. “The impact comes from our kids, most importantly. They are incredible kids.”

Just getting to the basics of life. Saying prayers every morning and night for gratitude of life . Doing acts of kindness with your time for other people. Don’t give up because you can really be at the bottom one moment and climb the mountains to be the top in no time with one step in front of the other.

I've never done this before on the Glenn Beck Podcast, but I couldn't have Emma Nissen on without asking her to sing a few songs. I was FLOORED. She is somehow Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Eilish combined, but also has an AMAZING story that you need to hear.
