408: Israel-Palestine Conflict Checking In On Loved Ones from Afar with Eli Shine

Witnessing the conflict and violence that is happening in Israel from a distance right now is deeply disturbing. But going to bed every night with the sounds of sirens and unthinkable terrorism taking place in your community while fearing for the safety of your family and loved ones is an experience no one should know.

Eli Shine and his family are currently in Israel, sheltering from the chaos that surrounds them. Eli is a remarkable soul and my FRD brother who’s taken some time to share his experience in a challenging situation with the FRD community today. 

You’ll hear how he’s trying to maintain clarity and courage in the face of life-threatening adversity. You’ll also hear Eli’s advice for anyone with loved ones that are enduring an incredibly difficult situation and the best way to check in on someone when you’re struggling to find the right words to say.

A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…

Looking for moments of sanity Admitting you’re not OK is OK Actions show people’s true colors A glimpse into evil Sending messages of care and prayer Growing through adversity Courage in the face of fear  Navigating gaslighting and shifting morals Standing up for what’s right The importance of facing difficult truths  Not feeling welcome for who you are The power of judgment-free conversations  Simple gestures that provide comfort Actions speak louder than intentions Focusing on things you can control Daily acts of heroism The strength of community

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.  

Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.  

Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you?

In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values)

If you’re reading this, you want to grow.  Podcasts are great, but guys… when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.
