Why It's So Hard for Men to Win Their Family Back | Ep 197 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood.
Coach Bell on Faith, Shame, and Winning Your Family Back | Dear Son Show
In this episode of The Dear Son Show, D Johns welcomes Coach Bear for a candid conversation about fatherhood, faith, and the hidden cost of wearing a “mask” of stoicism that works at work but fails at home. Coach Bell shares how he went from calling himself a marriage recovery coach to a truth teller who helps people confront hard realities, including infidelity and betrayal. He describes running from God after growing up as a pastor’s kid, wrestling with pride and disobedience, and eventually quitting his job to follow what he felt God was calling him to do. They discuss the pressure of reconciliation, the difference between shame and conviction, why you can’t earn grace, and how healing still carries consequences—especially when children ask painful questions. Coach Bell also reflects on his wife’s character, his father’s impact, and why he continues publicly sharing his story as an act of obedience.
