October's general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was full of eternal truths AND eternal warrior principles (because eternal warrior principles are grounded in eternal truth). Rob and Lloyd take time to discuss a few of the favorite and most meaningful things they learned from conference and how applying them will help us be more of the father we want to be.
Rob also takes a moment to say a few parting words as he has to step away from podcast responsibilities for a time. But the show will go on!

Prayer is one of the most fundamental things we do in the gospel and in life, but many of us still struggle with it in some shape or form. Rob and Lloyd take some time to share things they have used and ideas they have to make our prayers more powerful, with the ultimate goal of being able to connect with our Father in Heaven so He can direct us to become the fathers we desire to be. One idea they discuss is the concept of a "warrior's prayer."
A lot of good information and suggestions can also be found in the following talks from Elder David A. Bednar: "Ask in Faith" and "Pray Always."

We all have at least one thing we need to work on to improve ourselves, but sometimes we don't know where to begin. Rob and Lloyd share some things they learned when they recently attended a fireside given by Maurice Harker, founder of Life Changing Services, where Maurice teaches us as parents how we can use the "Discover, Plan, Act, Reflect" tool (or DPAR) to work on that "one thing." This is a great tool shared with us from our prophet and leaders found in the Children and Youth program in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
If you would like to view the whole fireside you can do so here. More details on DPAR can be found here.

Summer vacations and having your children out of school may have messed with your routine. Your goals may have taken a hit. Rob and Lloyd experienced it.

Everyone needs a good support system but because we are strong, or at least try to appear that way when we are not feeling it, sometimes we--especially men--don't admit that help is exactly what we need in the moment. Rob and Lloyd have a great conversation with Ben Smith, clinician at Life Changing Services, discussing the importance of having a good team of supportive, helpful people in your life. Ben tells how he decided on his "Board of Directors" when he needed help overcoming his own struggles.
Listen to Ben tell more of his story and give more tips on this episode of The Eternal Warrior Podcast.
We want to be part of your team as well. Please visit lifechangingservices.org to see what programs and resources we have to help you and your family break out of your struggles.
There is one attribute all fathers--indeed, all people--should develop that doesn't get talked about much and when it does it's often misunderstood. Rob and Lloyd discuss why becoming more meek is so important in our relationship with our family especially, but in all of our relationships generally. They do so with the help of talks from Elders Neal A. Maxwell and David A. Bednar.
Rob shares a story about Brigham Young and Joseph Smith that can be found in this address.
Rob and Lloyd were also recently on this episode of The Eternal Warrior Podcast.

Rob and Lloyd have the good fortune of talking with Wes and Spenny, hosts of The Eternal Warrior Podcast, and all-around great guys. With Father's Day approaching they take the opportunity to talk about what great men their fathers are, what role their fathers played in their recovery from pornography addiction, and what they themselves plan to do as future fathers to help their children succeed. All along the way it's great advice for any father and a fun--and touching--episode.

Sometimes, in the righteous desire to help our children, we wrongly think we are the only ones who can. Using messages from then-Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf and Pres. Henry B. Eyring, Rob and Lloyd talk about the importance of trusting Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ, to be able to do Their work, and that faith in Jesus Christ is the first principle of the gospel for a reason.
Life Changing Services is now offering a Spiritual Psychology Masterclass to go more in-depth into life-changing psychological concepts as taught by ancient and modern prophets. Check it out.

For men, feelings are not always fun to discuss, so Rob and Lloyd teach about a tool we fathers--and anyone--can use to help us recognize and deal with our feelings in an appropriate, healthy way. They also talk about how using this tool can help in recognizing Satan's lies and defeating them.
The quote they use from Elder Bednar in this episode can be found in the talk "Quick to Observe."
If you feel you and/or your family could use some personalized help in perfecting how to apply these principles please click here.
Rob and Lloyd talk with Kellie Webster, mentor and author of the children's books "Rebecca's Trick" and "Alexander's Trick". She talks about how the books came to be and the importance of teaching our children and grandchildren which voices we can and cannot trust. She testifies that some of the voices we can trust come in the form of ancestors who act as guardian angels for us.
You can pick up Kellie's books and other valuable materials from Life Changing Services here.

Rob is solo for this episode and shares an experience he and his wife recently had with his son that made him rethink where the focus should be when teaching his children. Using teachings of leaders and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Rob talks about how we can become better teachers of our children and hopefully influence them to change behaviors that may need changing. He uses quotes from the following talks/articles:

Rob and Lloyd interview Jeremy, a courageous father who took the steps to rid his life of pornography. He has been free of it for over a year now and he talks about how he has done it, what he has learned in the process, and how his life has improved thanks to his success and efforts--and Heavenly Father's help.
If you are a father enmeshed in the vicious web of pornography addiction, or know someone who is, please consider the Men of Moroni program, which has helped many men learn Eternal Warrior principles to help them become free.

Maurice Harker, founder of Life Changing Services joins Rob and Lloyd this week for the first part of their discussion on self-mastery and how to apply gospel principles to life and parenting so you can become an eternal warrior fighting for the good of your family. Maurice gives some good parenting "hacks," including the Positive Assumption Technique.
Maurice is the author of "Like Dragons Did They Fight," a veritable handbook for spiritual and scientific principles to help with self-mastery of any kind, including sexual self-mastery. Maurice can also be heard on his podcast, "Memoirs of an LDS Therapist."

The highest form of love is charity, and Rob and Lloyd explain what charity means to them, share experiences with charity, and talk about how important it is to develop it as a husband and father. To strengthen their points they use a few talks from general authorities past and present from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including this one from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland and this one from Elder Hartman Rector Jr.

Rob and Lloyd discuss some things a father can do--and things he shouldn't do--to earn the respect of those most important to him: his wife and children. We rely heavily on this talk from Bishop H. Burke Peterson, former counselor in the Presiding Bishopric of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We also bring up this talk from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland about the quest for perfection. And here is the full quote we used toward the beginning of the episode.
