Ep. 45 - What Anger Is Really Costing You with Pastor Glen Williams
In Episode 45 of Joy Hour, Tom Lyman sits down with his father-in-law, Pastor Glen Williams, for an honest conversation about anger, pride, forgiveness, marriage, and the work required to become a healthier man. Pastor Glen brings more than a decade of experience teaching anger management, substance abuse, domestic violence, and behavioral change through the NCTI curriculum and the On Track Life Enrichment Program. Together, he and Tom explore why anger is often misunderstood, why so many men refuse to admit they have a problem, and how pride can keep someone trapped in the same destructive patterns. The conversation looks closely at the connection between values, attitude, and behavior. A man may claim honesty, integrity, and faithfulness as core values, but when his behavior no longer reflects those values, frustration and anger often begin to build. Anger is not always the real problem. Sometimes it is the visible result of disappointment, hidden failure, unresolved pain, unmet expectations, or a life being lived out of alignment. Tom and Pastor Glen also discuss the difference between righteous anger and destructive anger, why anger itself is not automatically sinful, and how the response to anger determines where it leads. They examine the danger of unrealistic expectations, taking everything personally, refusing to ask for help, and allowing resentment to quietly grow. A major part of the episode focuses on forgiveness. Unresolved wounds from parents, spouses, childhood experiences, rejection, abuse, and personal failure can follow a person for years. Pastor Glen explains why forgiveness is necessary for healing, why men sometimes need to ask their own children for forgiveness, and how letting go of the past can change the way someone responds in the present. The conversation also addresses the damage uncontrolled anger can do to a marriage. Broken communication, lost trust, emotional distance, and unresolved conflict rarely appear overnight. They build when couples stop listening, stop forgiving, and stop allowing God to shape the way they respond to one another. This episode is a challenge to stop normalizing anger that is damaging a marriage, frightening children, destroying peace, or holding back purpose. Healing requires honesty, brotherhood, wise counsel, spiritual growth, and a willingness to change. What is your anger trying to reveal about what is really happening inside you?

Ep. 44 - Faithful in the Little Things with Pastor John Little
In Episode 44 of Joy Hour, Tom Lyman sits down with his friend Pastor John Little for a conversation about faithfulness, service, family, truth, and the quiet choices that shape a meaningful life. John shares how his earliest memories of church began as a child in Japan, where he experienced the presence of God before he could fully understand the language or everything happening around him. He reflects on the influence of a faithful mother, the pastors and mentors who left lasting fingerprints on his life, and the transition from playing drums to answering the call of God into ministry. Together, Tom and John talk about walking with Jesus through grief, remaining steady when life becomes difficult, and learning to see joy in ordinary moments. They discuss why the people making the greatest difference are often serving behind the scenes, below the waterline, without recognition or applause. The conversation also explores the need for truth in a culture that often confuses what is popular with what is right, why men need brotherhood instead of isolation, and how children and grandchildren are shaped by the footsteps they watch adults take every day. John also shares encouragement for anyone who feels spiritually stuck or drained. Sometimes the way forward is not found by focusing inward, but by serving someone else, opening the hand, and allowing God to work through simple acts of obedience. This episode is a reminder that legacy is not built in one dramatic moment. It is built through prayer, consistency, service, and faithfulness in the little things. What could change if the small things were treated like they truly matter?

Ep. 43 | Built Men: Action and Becoming a Doer (Part 4 of 4)
This is Episode 43, Part 4 of 4, the final installment in the Joy Hour series for men who are ready to stop drifting and start building. If you’re starting here, this episode still works as a stand-alone, but it also serves as the series “decision point.” Part 1 calls men out of drift. Part 2 focuses on winning the morning. Part 3 confronts the hidden battle. Part 4 brings it home with action. This conversation addresses why inspiration fades, why consistency matters more than intensity, and why most men don’t fail from lack of desire, they fail from lack of plan, lack of accountability, and trying to fight alone. It frames life as spiritual warfare, and calls men to build lives marked by integrity, purpose, and endurance. Are you ready to build, or will drifting keep deciding the direction?
