319 | Expressing Love, Thriving as Yourself, and Advancing Fatherless Young Men (Chad Wallen)
Manage episode 403732514 series 3239181
Chad Wallen helps teach fatherless young men practical tools that their dad could have taught them if he had been involved in their lives. It’s an active way of fighting against harrowing statistics and intervening in tangible, practical ways. Join us as Chad shares his thoughts on self-care, words of affirmation, and mentoring the next generation.
Key Takeaways- You can’t be a good dad if you’re not a healthy version of yourself.
- Don’t make your wife translate your love to your children.
- Nationally, 75% of men incarcerated are from a fatherless home.
- What does it look like to mentor fatherless young men while providing opportunities to learn new skills, advance their careers, and build confidence?
Chad Wallen is a loving husband, foster parent, and dad to three girls and a son. He helped start Advance Camp in Oregon because he has such a huge heart for the fatherless. Now, Chad Wallen lives in the Dallas area and directs Advance Camp Texas.
Key Quotes- 7:42 - "That was a hard thing to learn is finding that happy medium between taking care of yourself and finding you as a priority and taking care of your family and finding them as a priority, realizing you can't be 100% dad if you're not 100% you."
- 17:52 - "My mom used to tell me all the time your dad loves you. He told me last night that he loves you and he's really proud of you. Well, I don't need my wife translating for me. These words need to come out of my mouth. And it's hard. Sometimes I have to pep talk myself but I know that's my role is to speak my words, not to have my wife speak my words for me. That's one thing I have constantly worked on with myself is making sure my words are my words and my wife is not my translator."
