This is the number one spiritual rhythm in the Clark household, and it's SO foundational that JM almost took it for granted.

In fact, it wasn't until he spoke to hundreds of guys through the Family Captain, that he realized almost NO ONE was doing this as their #1 spiritual leadership rhythm, which is crazy.

We'll dive into what that rhythm is, and WHY it's so vitally important, so that by the end of this episode, you'll have something to lock and load moving forward TODAY, no matter where you live and what you're dealing with.

Start here, and everything else flows out of it.

Nobody tells men that our lives will shift into autopilot without us noticing. They didn’t warn us that our marriage would drift into average instead of amazing. But Christians should have the best marriages and the best sex lives. The Family Captain will show you how.
