Men living in the stress bubble of life can't see the forest through the trees. They are so busy living in the now they can't see the finish. A good finish starts with a good start. Join us as with Dan Critchett as we unpack this. Dan's goal for Second Half Now is to provide multiple opportunities for "Second Halfers" to receive information and inspiration that touches their lives in meaningful and practical ways. Through radio shows, podcasts, blogs, events, networking, educational and motivational presentations, coaching, and multi-media platforms, his passion is to literally help today's 50-plus American live a life that matters. Second Half Now is committed to the health and happiness of America's Baby Boomers. There are seventy six million of us, and we want to have a measure of purpose and meaning in our lives.

There are three types of people in this life. Sheep, Wolves, and Sheep Dogs. Raising a child who isn't a bully isn't enough. Raising a child who is bully-proof isn't enough. Raising a child who is a protector of the weak is the goal. Protectors, founded in 2005, was born from personal experience and a unique understanding into a fundamental weakness to existing anti-bullying programs. As a Target of bullying while in elementary school, Founder and President Paul Coughlin knows just how damaging such a campaign of cruelty can be to a person's emotional and psychological wellbeing—damage that can harm a person well into adulthood. Some never recover. Unlike traditional anti-bullying efforts that focus primarily upon reforming children who bully and which are historically ineffective, The Protectors focuses primarily upon the potential strength, heroic desire, and rescuing capacity of Bystanders, transforming them into what we call "Alongside Standers." We also provide assertiveness training for Targets, help Authority dispel the many damaging myths about bullying, and inspire children who bully to employ their power in life-affirming directions instead. Studies show that Bystanders possess the most potential power to transform what we call the "Theater of Bullying" into a theater of character, freedom and justice. One study revealed that if only one Bystander, who doesn't even need to be popular, uses his or her assertive but non-violent words in defense of a Target, that the incident of bullying can end 58% of the time within 6 to 8 seconds. By intervening on behalf of Targets, Bystanders will not only create safer and happier schools, but also create greater character within themselves and others. https://theprotectors.org www.mancardpodcast.com

On December 22, 2009, the "STRIKE" Brigade received orders to spearhead the new surge of forces into the southern region of Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The 2nd Brigade Combat Team (BCT), 101st Airborne Division, Air Assault - Combined Task Force (CTF) STRIKE deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) X-XI from 10 May 2010 to 30 May 2011, as the main effort brigade of the President's "surge" force in Afghanistan. CTF STRIKE conducted a comprehensive counterinsurgency strategy in Arghandab, Zharay, Maiwand, and Panjwai'i Districts, Kandahar Province, to defeat the insurgency and improve the security situation in the "militant birthplace of the Taliban." CTF STRIKE simultaneously developed and enabled the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and district governance to assume control in the region. During the year-long deployment in Southern Afghanistan, STRIKE defeated the Taliban in these critical districts and established over 29 combined Coalition and ANSF bases in Taliban contested areas. Combined Task Force STRIKE extended governance into previously inaccessible areas establishing district administration, health and educational services, and providing the people of Kandahar Province a voice in their government. During the deployment, Combined Task Force STRIKE effectively reduced violence along major civilian supply routes by attacking the insurgency deep in historic enemy-held terrain. STRIKE's use of persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms prevented the reemergence of the Taliban in the critical terrain. The actions of CTF STRIKE resulted in the significant reduction of Taliban influence where hostile activity the area of operations dropped significantly and allowed for greater engagement of the population by ANSF and local government leaders. Success in Kandahar Province provided the Afghan people the choice to support the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the opportunity for peace and prosperity in the future. CTF STRIKE's deployment in Afghanistan saw the award of a Distinguished Service Cross, 5 Silver Stars, 38 Bronze Star Medals with Valor, 111 Army Commendation Medals with Valor, and 491 Purple Hearts. CTF STRIKE executed more than 7 major operations during which 65 STRIKE Soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice. In recognition of their efforts under extreme combat situations, the STRIKE Brigade Combat Team was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation (PUC) for OPERATION DRAGON STRIKE and operations in Kandahar, as well as a Valorous Unit Award for the deployment. 1st Battalion, 502d Infantry Battalion, Combined Task Force TALON, received the Valorous Unit Award for their actions to remove hardened Taliban fighters and supporters in eastern Zharay District from September to November 2010.

Kenny Luck RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif.,April, 2018 –Kenny Luck throws down the gauntlet to a generation of men who have become comfortable with a culturally safe Christian faith in his new book, "Dangerous Good: The Coming Revolution of Men Who Care"(July 3, 2018, NavPress, $15.99, ISBN 978-1-63146-890-2). "Too often men suffer from a malaise that leads them to settle for mediocrity, play it safe and blend into our broken culture," Luck, founder of Every Man Ministries, said. "But deep inside every man is the impulse to confront the evil around him, to embrace the 'dangerous good' that comes with being a committed follower of Christ. I want this book to awaken the sleeping giant within the community of men that will be an aggressive force for good." Throughout the book, Luck explains how Jesus was considered radical in his time and the perfect model for the dangerous good man who is not defined by his feelings, circumstances, material possessions, successes or failures. Instead, this man is defined by God and God alone. Jesus consorted with social outcasts like lepers, tax collectors, and prostitutes. And He not only overturned the moneychangers' tables in the temple, He flouted every kind of social and religious convention. "Dangerous good behavior is Spirit-empowered behavior that is counter-intuitive to a watching world," Luck writes in the book. "It's show-stopping: Just when they expect you to do the self-protective thing, you do a Spirit-filled thing out of love for God and people. You take the road less traveled, and the tension inside of you releases itself into faithfulness to Christ for the sake of another." Using examples from his personal life and the Bible, Luck provides men with the tools to be who God has called them to be and put an end to today's gender wars, as seen through the relationship between Barak and Deborah in the Book of Judges. Together they led Israel to victory against the Canaanites. Barak set an example that is still worth following today. "Smart men honor, dignify and partner with great women to achieve far more than they ever would by themselves," Luck writes. "My prayer is that this book helps men to realize that we need to stop sitting on the sidelines because the fact is it's the opposite of who we are," Luck said. "We were called to be an active fighter in the battle between good and evil. God expects us to fight for the good of our faith, restating our identity in Christ to the world."

ERIC "BEAR" ST. PIERRE Illinois State Director Eric discovered Cross Trail Outfitters in October of 2009 and fell in love with the three cornerstones: Building Men, Preserving our Heritage, and Sharing our Faith. CTO allows Eric to mentor boys as he himself was mentored as a developing youth. "If it weren't for the men in my life who decided to take an interest in me when I was young, I don't know where I would be today. In the town where I grew up there were many opportunities to stray down the wrong path. I am just thankful that the Lord was able to put me in a place where I could see I had a choice to do something different than all my friends, and I hope I can provide that same opportunity to boys today."

Since 2011, we've rescued over 2000 children enslaved around the world, helped keep hundreds more from entering the sex trade through our various prevention programs, ensured justice for those who have been wronged, and raised awareness to untold numbers. And we'll continue to expand to reach even more children in the days ahead! Destiny Rescue realizes that human trafficking is a global problem. We're determined to respond to God's call to set captives free worldwide. Until no more children are sold, forced or coerced into the sex trade, Destiny Rescue is fully committed to fighting for their freedom, their restoration and their futures. https://www.destinyrescue.org/us/ Get Your Copy Now! of Tell Them, What Great Fathers Tell Their Sons and Daughters www.meninthearena.org Men in the Arena Books and Swag Support the Podcast
