Episode Description

After his five-year-old son was kicked out pre-school, Chris Harper had a word ... or two. My friend Chris Harper is a storyteller, he builds word pictures that we can touch and see and leads men into truth. Better known as "Harp" he serves as the CEO of BetterMan. A ministry equipping more than 2500+ churches and 300,000+ men across the U.S.

So, what do you do when your little boy is told he can't stay in his pre-K classroom, and what
was the egregious nature of his crime? Harp takes us on a journey that exposes the issues in
culture today - one of which is "sociotropy."  This is an extraordinary conversation with a man
that is passionate about biblical manhood. Chris Harper speaks often on topics such as a man’s identity in Christ and the importance of being a gospel-centered husband and father. Chris received his Masters degree from Dallas Theological Seminary and his Doctorate from the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Harp hits the issues with clarity today on the Brave Men podcast.
