📖 Summary:
This episode is a masterclass in real talk. The Plague opens up about the tension between knowing he needs a Whetstone and resisting the call to start. Dark Helmet joins him to unpack why men hesitate to invite sharpening — and what happens when we try to lead at home without it. Dark Helmet responds with candor and wisdom, drawing from personal stories about life, blind spots, and marriage. Together, they explore the Sur-Ser Continuum, the waves of life, and what it looks like to lead faithfully at home—even when the crash is coming. From blind spots and ego to spiritual leadership in marriage, this one’s for every man caught between survival and service.
