In today’s episode, Jim welcomes his friend Dr. Aaron Santmyire. Aaron is a husband, father, nurse practitioner, author, and host of The Clarity Podcast. Aaron has spent the last 20 years of his life serving in Africa, specifically Burkina Faso, Madagascar, and Kenya, and recently released a book called A Caring Family: Seven Virtues that Help Your Family Care Better and Love Longer. Together, Jim and Aaron dive into the value of teaching virtues at home such as loyalty, emotional honesty, patience, and spiritual focus - and how each virtue helps us, and our kids, become more like Christ.
