Full audio podcasts, podcast video clips, and Manly Mondays with editor Tom!
In this episode of Manly Monday, Tom talks about the second of our five YOB values — humility. In humility, we learn to look beyond ourselves and our stories as we trust another Author with a bigger story. In humility, we fight against what fiercely interferes with our relationship with our Maker:
In this episode of Manly Monday, Tom talks about the first of our five YOB values -- hope. Though hope often feels frail, even a little bit of hope is just as potent and powerful as a lot. Watch the video for more on our first value, including why Tom likes to write this word on
Welcome to our second episode of Manly Monday! In this episode, Tom talks about his experience at a faith and sexuality conference, including a man who falls seven times -- and what happens to him after the seventh
Today, we're excited to introduce our brand new web series: MANLY MONDAY! Join me in this biweekly (bimonthly?) video series for storytime, Scripture reading, and calls to growth for the week ahead. You'll also get a little "state of the YOB" with highlights from recent comments, podcasts, emails, and more. We hope Manly Monday is a fun, informative, and challenging way to start our weeks here every other Monday. Thanks to our faithful patrons for making this new video series possible! As of this premiere episode, we currently have 125 patrons funding Your Other Brothers each month -- totally covering our yearly maintenance expenses while also enabling us the resources and time to tell even more dynamic stories and challenge further growth in this community. THANK YOU, YOBBERS. If you believe in what we're doing at YOB, consider becoming a patron today! All information is on our Patreon page. We look forward to writing and producing these bimonthly (biweekly?) episodes as we remain over this pledge level and continue to grow. Up next on the Patreon horizon: a creative expression video every month! We’re thinking spoken words, testimonies, short narrative pieces, documentaries, and more. We can't wait to dive deeper into this video endeavor and add to the repository of written and audible stories already here. Now, onto the premiere episode of MANLY MONDAY. Watch and learn the three-year origin of this phrase; without it, YOB may not exist today. Dramatic enough? Enjoy the premiere! And don't forget to subscribe to YOB on YouTube (YOBTUBE). You can also give this video a like, as every little bit helps us grow. And please comment on this video! You can comment on YouTube or right here on our site post. What does "manly" mean to you? And what should my manly sign-off be every episode?
Today marks a special and pivotal turning point here at Your Other Brothers. For the last four-plus months, we've been bringing you four blog posts a week from me and my same-sex attracted brothers the world over. We've seen incremental site growth from week to week and month to month, and lately it's starting to feel like a family in here. I couldn't be more pleased with the last four-plus months. I speak on behalf of all my other brothers when I say thank you for joining us on this strange new journey. With every passing month, it feels less and less strange. Today is special, because it brings to life a vision planted at the start: a new medium to broadcast our stories. The written word is great -- I personally adore blogging -- but sometimes, the written word can only go so far. Here at YOB, we want to share our stories however we can, however effectively we can, diversifying our reach in the process -- even reaching beyond the blogosphere. And so, it's with great excitement (and admittedly some trepidation) that I bring you our very first YouTube video -- or, YOBTube, if you prefer. (And, be honest, don't you prefer it?) It's called: "What is an addict?" If you're looking for the short answer, it's me. I am an addict. For the longer answer, give our first video a watch. We'd love it if you'd SUBSCRIBE to our shiny new channel. And if you enjoy the video, give us a big THUMBS UP on YouTube as well. Every little bit helps! If you, dear reader, do enjoy this video, then there's a high likelihood we'll put out more videos in the future. We look forward to all the twists and turns to come to our growing brotherhood. Today's video also marks the start of what we're dubbing #AddictionWeek, as we'll be posting our personal, diverse stories of addiction all week long. It's sure to be a week to remember here at YOB. Don't forget about the discussion questions below; we'll see you in the comments, as always. And now, for our first video: "What is an addict?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3FDHmz7rNM Do you currently suffer with addiction, be it alcoholism, drugs, or sex addiction of any form? Have you ever embraced recovery and vulnerability with others? What will it take for you to jump to the opposite of addiction and embrace legitimate, life-giving
