He reflects on two familiar mental paths many men walk: catastrophizing and numbing.\nBut healing often means cutting a new path.\nUsing a powerful backpacking metaphor, Jerrad explores how men can stop defaulting to fear and escape, and instead learn to walk the quieter, harder path of gospel truth.\nPractice for today:\nAsk yourself: When life gets hard, what are the well-worn paths in my mind—and are they leading me toward healing or away from it?\nBecause strong families begin with healed men.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dYTexbkvAH7EjY4sdrnUJpRzc4P9Vasgn9FyCcMZZxc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMjIx/YTIwZTkyNmQzYjVk/NmFkNWJhNjRmYjdl/M2VlZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
