Message to Our Kids

94 episodes - English - Latest episode: 5 months ago - ★★★★★ - 6 ratings

Every single day we are engaged in an eternal struggle between light and dark.

Every single day the majority of human beings are giving their life over to the forces of darkness, the shadow, the devil, or whatever you would personally call the forces of division. These forces are actively trying to divide us on the inside, effectively sidelining us from the life we are called to, keeping us playing small and out of the game of sharing light and healing with those in need.

Message to My Kids the Podcast is a podcast celebrating life in today's modern world, while getting back to the balance between light and dark that God wants us to keep. Join Benjamin and Laura Norman on an epic journey through light and dark, masculine and feminine, creating relationships with our significant others driven by connection and passion, showing up for our children as empowered parents who meet them where they are and give them loving support and guidance, and deepening our walk in faith.

Listeners are encouraged to write into the show by emailing [email protected] for a deeper dive on what we do and how we walk into the darkness your family is facing along side you, and show you how to bring the light, restoring balance to yourself, your relationship and your family.

"Don't fight the darkness alone. Fight together."

Thanks for your patience—life's been a whirlwind.   Let me dive into a recent personal journey: completing my third Spartan Ultra at Killington Mountain.   It's been a wild ride, filled with challenges and lessons.   Three years ago, my coach asked what fitness challenge inspired me, and I chose the Spartan Ultra.   Little did I know, it would lead to a deep bond with my friend Franco, as we both supported our wives through breast cancer.   This year's race was intense—cr...

August 04, 2023 11:00 - 18 minutes - 33.8 MB

I've been going through a rough patch lately, feeling under the weather and all. But enough about that – today, let's talk about something we've all faced: the feeling of not being good enough.     I've been there – the moments when doubt creeps in and we compare ourselves to others. Sometimes we put on a confident facade, hiding our insecurities. Other times, we let those insecurities keep us isolated, shying away from connections.     But here's the real deal: we don't have to ...

August 02, 2023 11:00 - 7 minutes - 13.4 MB

In today's episode, I wanted to share something personal. The recent podcast episodes have been shorter due to me soaking up the summer moments, just like you.   Let's talk about faith. This morning, thoughts about faith occupied my mind. Faith is believing in the unseen, embracing the promise that something remarkable awaits us. It's standing strong in uncertainty.   Imagine us chatting about the flip side of faith. If faith is trust, then doubt and darkness are its opposites. Here'...

"Mom handles the kids."   "Mom handles their emotional outbursts"   "Mom deals with them when they're being little sh!ts"   "Go talk to your mother if you're upset."   "Go sit in your room until you calm the f#$% down."   "I can't handle you right now - leave me alone."   "I can't stand how you're acting right now."   "I don't deal with the kids - that's her job."   "I'm going to lose my f@$%ing mind right now!"   "You're so emotional - why are you so emot...

July 19, 2023 11:00 - 12 minutes - 23.3 MB

👋 In today's episode, I want to talk about something that's been bothering me. We all come across individuals who only seem interested in taking from us without giving anything in return. It's frustrating and can leave us feeling drained.🤦‍♂️   Perhaps you've experienced this because you sought approval and love that was lacking in your childhood.🧒 But here's the truth: these takers won't provide what you're looking for.

🔥👋 On today's episode, I want to talk about the Dark Rider of Conquest,🏇 a negative force that can enter our relationships. It's like inviting darkness into our kingdom.🏰 The Dark Rider uses criticism as his weapon. So, ask yourself:   ╺ Do you attack your partner's character? ╺ Do you judge or label them? ╺ Do you use blaming, shaming, or contemptuous words? ╺ Do you make sweeping generalizations about their behavior?   If you find yourself doing any of these things, it's esse...

049 - You are Called

July 08, 2023 11:00 - 23 minutes - 42.7 MB

In July of 2021, I found myself in a tough spot, feeling the weight of my challenges. Training for a Spartan race, I realized my stress levels were overwhelming.

You see, most people tend to give up when things get tough.  If you truly want to create the life you desire, you have to put in the work.

June 27, 2023 11:00 - 10 minutes - 18.4 MB

Today, I want to share a personal story that revolves around a topic close to my heart: the pain of our past. It's about those lingering emotions and traumas we've buried deep inside, the ones we haven't fully faced or processed. When faced with challenging situations like heartbreak or traumatic events, our instinct is often to endure and push through. We seek support from our loved ones, coaches, counselors, or therapists. Yet, if we haven't truly released the pain and emotions tied to t...

046 - Tell the Darkness to Go F@#$ Itself

June 23, 2023 11:00 - 7 minutes - 13.2 MB

No matter what daunting task or new venture we undertake, whether it's starting a business, pursuing dreams, or rebuilding relationships, we face challenges.

043 - Don't condemn your family tree

June 18, 2023 01:30 - 16 minutes - 30.4 MB

When I stop you and give you tidings of the future and say:   "Don't condemn your family tree."   You're probably not aware that is what you are doing...   and you're not just doing it to your immediate family, but your larger extended family—your brothers, sisters, their spouses, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents etc etc who make up your family tree.   This is something I see EVEN INSIDE MY OWN FAMILY TREE and it continues to bother me every single day.    I often ...

June 16, 2023 11:00 - 19 minutes - 35.3 MB

Wow, it's been seven years since I met my beautiful wife, Laura and she will be joining me again today. I want to share with you a personal journey of self-awareness and growth that I've been on with my beautiful wife, Laura.  It all began with a realization that I had been chasing money, thinking it would bring me happiness and meaning.

040 - You've Been Lulled To Sleep

June 14, 2023 11:00 - 17 minutes - 32.3 MB

The game we're playing is all about finding that equilibrium between light and dark. I've witnessed it happen to both men and women. We often talk about this eternal dance between the two, like the yin and yang symbol. It represents the constant ebb and flow, the dance we engage in daily with reality. This dance defines our human experience. We navigate through life, relationships, and ourselves, constantly shifting between light and dark. In today's world, being spiritual or expressing ou...

038 - Fight The Darkness Together

June 12, 2023 11:00 - 18 minutes - 33.4 MB

Today I talk about the power of unity and standing strong. These past few weeks have been eye-opening and incredibly interesting as I've witnessed the couples we've worked with navigate the challenges we've guided them through. From the very beginning, my wife and I made a decision that we wouldn't face these battles alone but together. We adopted a mantra of sorts: "We don't fight alone, we fight together. We don't go alone, we go together." When we stand united, our home is filled with...

037 - A Song of Light And Shadow

June 09, 2023 11:00 - 14 minutes - 25.7 MB

Today I want to talk to you about something weighing heavily on my mind. Lately, there has been a noticeable shift in the intensity of the messages we share in public spaces, as well as within my coaching calls and personal life. This intensity stems from the realization of what truly happens within relationships. If only you could see it from my perspective, or better yet, experience it firsthand. It's absolutely chilling how dark forces work against love and unity within families. These fo...

036 - Safe Container Or Prison

June 07, 2023 11:00 - 19 minutes - 35.8 MB

Today, I want to talk to you about something deeply personal and relatable: the journey of creating safe spaces within ourselves to let our inner struggles and emotions find expression. When I began my own path of self-development, I realized there were aspects of myself that needed attention. These were the parts that, if left unaddressed, would wreak havoc in my life. It wasn't about defeating or eradicating these aspects; it was about finding healthy boundaries and containers for them t...

In this episode, we ...

Today I want to share something personal with you. We're diving deep into the challenges of marriage and how it can lead us down a difficult path. This week, our focus is on identifying the darkness within our relationships and recognizing the warning signs before it's too late. Many men, including myself in the past, tend to sleepwalk through their marriages. They're unaware that problems are brewing beneath the surface. I used to brush off my wife's emotions, thinking she was overreactin...

033 - Divorce Is Not Going To Save You

June 05, 2023 02:00 - 31 minutes - 57.9 MB

 Today I want to share a personal and heartfelt message with you. See, when I talk about divorce or separation not being the solution, I'm talking about the darkness that resides within both you and your partner. You might believe that leaving this person, whom you think is toxic, a narcissist, or abusive, will solve everything. Every couple I've worked with starts by venting and unloading all the issues and problems that have accumulated over time. It's hours and hours of pouring out the pa...

030 - Who Are You?

June 01, 2023 11:00 - 12 minutes - 22.9 MB

Today, I want to talk to you about something personal—knowing your true identity.  Eastern traditions like Buddhism, often emphasize finding balance within ourselves. But what happens when we find ourselves trapped in the darkness, lingering there for years? Some people never even make it to this stage; they remain lost and disconnected from the possibility of stepping into the light. These lost souls may appear to be acting in hurtful or disrespectful ways, but what I see is someone who i...

029 - Train In The Light, Fight In The Dark

May 31, 2023 11:00 - 17 minutes - 32.6 MB

I once found myself in darkness. It seemed like my whole world was consumed by shadows, and I couldn't understand how I had ended up there. Everything had been going well in my life - my business, my relationships, everything was in perfect harmony. But then, almost out of nowhere, I woke up in a place of deep darkness. It was a place I didn't want to be, a place that didn't align with the life I had envisioned for myself. In that darkness, I felt alone, disconnected from the people I love...

028 - Sunday - Disconnected Man, Disconnected Life

May 29, 2023 00:00 - 20 minutes - 27.5 MB

Today, I want to talk about something that has been on my mind a lot lately, and I believe it's something many of us can relate to. You see, I've been reflecting on a powerful message from the Bible, specifically Matthew 15:13, which says, "Every plant my Heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots." As I've been working with my clients and the people I serve, one topic that keeps resurfacing is the struggle with connection, especially in marriages. It's something I've w...

027 - The Moon, More Useful Than The Sun

May 27, 2023 11:00 - 10 minutes - 19.8 MB

Today, I want to dive into an interesting topic that came up recently thanks to a friend of mine. They shared a quote with me, jokingly asking if it sounded like something I would say in a sermon. As I read it, I couldn't help but see the flawed logic in it. The quote suggested that the moon is more useful than the sun because it gives us light at night when it's dark, while the sun only shines during the day when it's already bright. Well, obviously, I don't agree with that reasoning. The...

026 - Your Natural Talent Will Burn You

May 26, 2023 11:00 - 8 minutes - 16.4 MB

Today I want to have a personal conversation with you about natural talents, gifts, and abilities.  When I first embarked on this journey with the people I work with, we started by assessing their strengths. It was fascinating to see how most individuals, including myself, initially react to the results. We often find ourselves nodding in agreement, recognizing the talents that are already familiar to us. It's comforting to have our existing knowledge validated. It's not uncommon to conn...

025 - You Inherited Your Parents Limiting Beliefs

May 25, 2023 11:00 - 23 minutes - 42.7 MB

Today I want to talk about something personal and close to my heart: inheriting limiting beliefs from our parents. First things first, let's talk about my own family background. Unlike some others, I didn't grow up in a broken family. My parents are still happily married, and I didn't witness them arguing or any kind of physical violence. From my father, I inherited something truly valuable: the belief that chivalry is not dead. You know, I recently realized that this message of respect an...

024 - Husband You Are Not Entitled To A Break

May 24, 2023 11:00 - 23 minutes - 42.3 MB

Today we're going to talk about a topic that hits close to home: providing is not enough. I've seen this struggle in the men I've worked with over the years, and I've personally fallen into the same trap.  Let me take you back to my own experience. I met the love of my life, we built a relationship together, got engaged, and decided to get married. We were starting out, and income was a concern. We didn't have enough to create the life we wanted. In those early stages of marriage, we were ...

023 - Use The Eraser End Of The Pencil

May 23, 2023 11:00 - 12 minutes - 22.8 MB

I wanted to share a saying that my grandfather once told me before he passed away. It really struck a chord with me and made me think deeply about its meaning. He said, "I have never met anybody in my life who's had to use the eraser end of the pencil more than you." You see, a pencil has two ends—the writing end and the eraser end. When my grandfather said that I used the eraser end a lot, he wasn't criticizing me. He was actually appreciating my willingness to make mistakes and learn fro...

022 - For The Queen

May 22, 2023 11:00 - 17 minutes - 31.7 MB

I want to have a heart-to-heart conversation with you today about relationships. The world we live in is filled with complexities surrounding gender, sexual orientation, and personal choices. It can be incredibly confusing, especially if you're a man like me, married to a woman, and finding that your marriage isn't working as you hoped. When we find ourselves in such a situation, it's natural to seek answers and guidance. We might consider therapy, marriage counseling, or exploring various...

021 - Holy Temple, Infinite Guidance

May 21, 2023 20:00 - 26 minutes - 36.3 MB

Today I want to have a heart-to-heart with you about what it means to be a modern-day minister. This topic has been on my mind lately as I've been on my own faith journey. I've become acutely aware of something specific that I feel called to work with: men. Yes, I work with dads, husbands, moms, couples, and families too, but my focus has been on helping men navigate their spiritual paths. You see, I've had my own share of struggles and doubts. I used to be deeply involved with the Catholi...

020 - Under The Light Of The Blood Moon

May 20, 2023 11:00 - 16 minutes - 30.5 MB

Today, I want to share a personal story with you. It's about a race I recently participated in, and it taught me some valuable lessons that I believe can apply to various aspects of our lives. So there I was, standing on Killington Mountain, ready to take on the Spartan Ultra race. It was a pivotal moment for me because I had failed to finish this race in the past, and I was determined to change that. As the sun was setting, I made it through the cut off on the side of the mountain, and a ...

019 - Spartan Ultra, Faith and Cancer

May 19, 2023 11:00 - 23 minutes - 42.6 MB

Today I want to share a personal story with you. It's about my journey with fitness, overcoming obstacles, and finding a deeper connection with God. So let's dive in. Fitness has been such a significant part of my life for the past 12 to 15 years. It all started with my first Spartan Race, the Spartan Sprint, over a decade ago. I remember feeling incredibly nervous before that race. I mean, it was just three miles, but there were obstacles everywhere. I had trained hard, even joined a fitn...
