As a parent, it’s inevitable that your child will disagree with you on certain things. There are some things that you should never bed on, but others can be a great opportunity to model how to disagree and argue productively. Here are more of my thoughts.

To all of you who are fathers, I want to wish you a Happy Father’s Day. Growing up, I didn’t appreciate all that my dad did. But now that I’m grown, I see just how much he did for our family. I want to encourage you to enjoy time with your family and celebrate the role you play in the lives of your kids.

I recently spoke to some of our All Pro Dad’s Day Team Captains and iMOM Morning Leaders.  I wanted to thank them for the time and effort they pour into their respective communities.  The other thing I wanted them to know was how significant the work is that they are doing.  We often get caught up in the success of a program versus the significance of it.  This was something I talked about with my players when I was coaching.  If all we did was win a Super Bowl, we’d be successful. But many others after us would go on to win Super Bowls, so I challenged them to be significant in the community.

My challenge to you is, how can you impact your community more significantly? Are you chasing success or significance?  One great place to start is by becoming an All Pro Dad Team Captain or an iMOM Morning Leader.  Consider and pray how God would use you to be more significant to your family and neighbors.

Growing up, I didn’t have many summer vacations because I was in sports camps or summer practices. My wife, Lauren, and I love taking our kids on trips to explore places we normally wouldn’t go. Here’s more about my favorite trip that our family has taken and why you should plan a trip with your kids too.

The NFL draft is tonight and I’m excited to see what happens for each player and team. Best of luck to everyone participating!

With the NFL Draft happening this week, Troy Vincent and I want to share some of the challenges and obstacles we faced while being rookies in the NFL.

As parents, we often wonder when our kids should start playing sports. And we also wonder when it’s okay to let our kids quit a sport. Here are my thoughts on how you can support your child when he wants to quit a particular sport or activity.

Last week, I took a trip to the Auburn/Opelika area in Alabama.  The entire school district read through my book, Uncommon, and focused on applying its principles to their individual school.  It was a very humbling experience, and I want to say a big “Thank You” to the city for their wonderful hospitality.
