Lean on Me



Lean on me
Lean on me



If you like music, you may have hummed words to the song  "Lean on Me" sometime in the past.  As a call out to lean on and support each other, its a reminder to help you gain perspective to connect and help friends in need of help.

Although several other roles I am asked to serve, such as husband, son, brother, and others (equally as important), I can't be more honored to serve as a father to three incredible kids (biased). Our roles with each other are in constant evolution, as we all mature and grow.

A favorite drive home podcaster Chris Hogan speaks in a recent broadcast; "There are four types of people we all have to intentionally have in our lives".       

  • A Mentor to show you the lessons of the roads previously crossed
  • A Friend to be brutally honest with
  • A Coach to help you explore ways to get better, day in and day out, honestly and openly
  • A Cheerleader; giving you optimism in your most difficult times

In our rapidly changing society, I have a hunch, at any giving time, most of us don’t have the perfect four, but must fill the role of any or all of the four on any given day, especially with your kids.

I will lean on you, and you can lean on me, to better understand important matters in your life, in mine, and in community. You can count on it. 

If your view of the future has some challenging times ahead, lean on someone to help round out your foursome.
