In Episode 46 of Joy Hour, Tom Lyman sits down with Lee Adams, founder of **Men with Hearts**, for an honest conversation about fatherhood, mentorship, redemption, and why boys need strong men in…
I have two sons, one daughter, and, uh, we've done a couple of events this last year with Men With Hearts, and one was a camping trip.
And, uh, some men could go for a day, some could go for two days, but we had a great time around the fire and making memories.
And then we had a one-day event, uh, racing, uh, Pinewood Derby cars, and, uh, archery, and paintball guns, and, um, all kinds of activities, and food of course.
But this is where, uh, well over 20, uh, men at each event and, uh, we walk away from that just going, "Wow.
They were engaged with me and with other, uh, boys and men the entire time, and we didn't wanna leave.
And, uh, those opportunities are gonna continue to happen, uh, through this, uh, movement that I mentioned.
And, uh, maybe tap into even some of, uh, your childhood and, and where these, uh, originated from as far as the importance of, uh, men being fathers.
You know, Tom, I think you touched on it when you were talking about the men coming together, walking away with, "Wow, this, this is a day I can honestly say wasn't wasted."
Um, I prayed many times throughout this as struggles became real, as, as, as I've, I've not known what's coming, coming next.
Are you sure this is something you want me to do? Uh, there's probably somebody better to do it.
Um, and every time He's come back, and He's, He's not only confirmed it, but He's confirmed it with action.
