B.J. and I chat about coming to know Jesus through Young Life, how various job experiences led him to All Pro Dad, what All Pro Dad offers to assist dads in their relationship with their children, and how he deals with conflict when his content rubs people the wrong way.
4:11: B.J. begins sharing how his faith journey with Jesus began
"She [mom] brought me up with this really rich Catholic foundation, which gave me essentially a deep respect for God's holiness, for His judgement, the fact that He is somebody to be revered, to be feared (in a healthy way)."
He started going to Young Life in high school.
"He [Young Life leader] talked about Jesus in a way that made Him very relatable."

85% of incarcerated individuals grow up without a dad.
