13. Paul Thigpen: Marriage, Roots, and True Strength

Hey, I’m Jay Goodman and this is Talking with a Good Man. You know, my last name, Good Man, its an absurdly hard one to live up to, sometimes I just suck at it, to be blunt with you. Through daily successes and lots of failures, I work to be forgiving and loving while striving for strength with magnanimity because, hey…we’re all made for greatness and God calls us all to truly be a Good Man. Join me in striving to be a Good Man, for yourself, your Family, your Church, and most importantly for our Lord Jesus!! Let’s step into that scary breach, where the true work and danger is! And we as Men love the danger, don’t we? If we use it appropriately and righteously, mannnnnn in can bring strength. You might wonder some things about this next Man, my Man, Paul Thigpen.
