Episode 378: Tough Enough: Calling Men Higher | feat. Trey Tucker
This week JP and Kathy sit down with therapist and author Trey Tucker to talk about the two traps most young men fall into — chasing achievement to outrun insecurity, or staying passive to avoid failing at all. Trey shares wisdom from his book Tough Enough on building a "team," getting comfortable with silence, and using what God gave you for others instead of yourself. He also tells the wild, true story of going undercover overseas to help rescue women from sex trafficking. Pick up Tough Enough and pass this one along to the men in your life who need to hear it.
