In this conversation, John gets incredibly vulnerable about his own \"big dirty secret\" how his success in the world was masking a \"nuclear reactor\" of stress that made his own daughter feel unsafe to hug him. We dive deep into the \"toolkit crisis\" facing men today, why we've started pathologizing normal childhood behavior in boys, and the radical choice to rebuild a marriage from the ashes. John also turned the tables on me, asking why I decided to \"run it back\" and get married again after a 20-year journey. This is one of the most raw, honest, and faith-filled conversations I've ever had on this show. If you've ever felt like you were just \"performing\" your life instead of living it, this episode is for you.
