Culture is pulling us one way, but is that the right way? Does it matter? We sat down for a conversation with Tim Baker about how he learned to discern what really matters most, which wasn’t what culture had taught him. Listen to the questions he asked himself and then form your own to talk about with the men in your life.

Podcast Summary
Define success by what matters most to you, not culture.
Pay attention to the effect you are having on those around you.
Ask others around you if they see your priorities aligning with what is important to you, then take a position and own it!
Culture will not take care of the people you love, the money you’ve earned, or the future you want.

Discussion Questions
What are some of the cultural norms that have influenced the major decisions in your life?
What are some of the current cultural norms that seem crazy to you at this stage of your life? What should we be questioning that may seem “normal”?
Which ones conflict and which ones align with the goals you have for yourself?
Do the men in your life have permission to reflect back aspects of your life that seem out of alignment?

The Big Three Questions
What does this mean for me personally?
What am I going to do about it? (What step of faith does God want me to take?)
How can we help?
