character building

In this episode, speakers Blake Burnard and Steve Suthers delve into the fascinating world of athletic development, drawing insights from the Russian "Rule of Three." The Rule of Three, created by the Russians, outlines a systematic approach to identifying and nurturing elite athletes, starting from a young age. The hosts discuss how this method involves filtering athletes every three years, narrowing down their athletic traits until they become specialized in a particular sport.

Drawing parallels to their own training philosophy at Grind House, the hosts emphasize the importance of building a solid foundation of athletic abilities before introducing heavy weights. They share their approach of training young athletes, starting as early as ten years old, by focusing on general sports and manual labor to develop body control, coordination, and kinesthetic awareness.

The episode explores the concept of strength training for beginners, touching upon Vladimir Zatskyorsky's recommendation that no athlete should engage in max effort exercises within their first three years of training. The hosts highlight the significance of developing inter and intramuscular coordination through appropriate weight training, debunking myths surrounding ladder drills and similar activities.

Listeners gain insights into the importance of a robust base in athleticism, emphasizing the need to prioritize skill acquisition and coordination before progressing to heavier loads. The hosts share their experiences and observations, debunking common misconceptions about training methods and shedding light on the science behind effective athletic development.

Full show notes

Figuring out who we are takes a lifetime. In our teens, we might think we’re destined to become a doctor…only to find out that med school isn’t for us. We might believe we’ve found our perfect match in our twenties, but then discover that there’s other fish in the sea. We might even experience a mid-life crisis and become an entirely new person at age fifty! Identity and self-awareness are complicated and different for everyone.

To teenagers, however, it can feel like adult life is rapidly approaching….meaning they’ve got to figure it all out right away! They might rush into a college major, a relationship, or a big relocation when they’re not fully ready. It can be hard to know what you want for the rest of your life when you’ve only been alive for 18 years! This week we’re talking about identity, awareness and self- actualization, so we can help kids slow down and embrace the process of finding themselves. 

We’re joined by Scott Barry Kaufman, author of Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization. Scott is a humanistic psychologist who has taught at Columbia, the University of Pennsylvania and New York University. He writes the regular column “Beautiful Minds” in the Scientific American and hosts The Psychology Podcast, which has over 10 million downloads! His work has appeared in The Atlantic, Harvard Business Review, and Business Insider. He’s here to help us define self-actualization–and how our teens can harness it for a happier life.

In our interview, we’re discussing how we can guide kids to develop healthy confidence, define their life’s goals, and access their creativity to discover who they truly are.

Confidence Vs. Narcissism

Self-esteem can be complicated, Scott explains. While it’s definitely possible for teens to have a healthy sense of confidence in who they are, there’s also the possibility of narcissism. And although we often think of narcissists as loud, attention-hogging types, there are also quiet, unassuming narcissists, who keep their self-obsession in their internal thoughts and close relationships, he explains. Scott and I talk more about the difference between these two types of narcissists in the episode–but neither type is healthy or a sign of self awareness, Scott says.

To help our kids develop healthy self esteem instead of narcissistic tendencies, we’ve got to treat them with compassion…but not too much! Scott explains that we shouldn't tell kids they are “the best” or teach them to compare themselves to others. Instead, Scott says we should remind kids that they are intrinsically valuable simply for existing. Instead of making them feel like high achievers, we should simply strive for them to feel like they are enough, he says.

In the episode, we also talk about how kids can have healthy selfishness as well. This means they set proper boundaries with others for their own well-being, have a stable school/life balance, and generally just take care of themselves. People often give away too much time and energy to others, Scott says, and not necessarily in an altruistic way. Sometimes people can develop a certain kind of narcissistic complex that’s fed by helping others, but only in pursuit of their own egos, he explains. In our interview, we discuss how some of the worst behavior in human history has been declared “for the greater good”, despite being destructive and even inhumane.

So teens have a healthy sense of self-confidence…but where are they going to direct it? Scott and I also talk about how teens can figure out their life’s purpose.

Setting Growth-Oriented Goals

Teens love to set lofty goals, but they’re not always realistic…or what teens really want. Many teens strive to be famous on the internet, he says, but this goal often fails to help teens grow and self actualize. Scott advises that teens stay true to themselves when deciding what to do with their lives, and evaluate their strengths and deeper spiritual needs when planning out their latest ambition! He also recommends  that parents sit down status-obsessed kids and help them reorient their goals towards personal and spiritual growth.

Scott describes something that he calls a crystallizing experience–an affirming experience which helps us realize exactly what we want to do with ourselves for the rest of our life. Some teens are lucky enough to have this moment when they’re still young, but some don’t have it until later in life. Scott explains that it could happen any time, and even more than once! Our identities continue to grow and change, so teens shouldn’t feel pressure to have it all figured out right away.

In our interview, Scott and I have an interesting discussion about hope in the face of rejection. While some animals have been researched and shown to experience a natural sense of hopelessness, humans retain the ability to remain resilient. While the sting of rejection is strong, Scott explains that teens can use both their sense of purpose and strategic minds to persevere. In the episode he explains the strategy he used as a teenger to get into the college of his dreams–despite being rejected.

One important trait kids can strive to develop is creativity! Scott and I are discussing how we can work to foster creativity among our teens.

Raising Creative Teens

There are a lot of surprising ways we can help teens be more creative, including letting them daydream! Scott explains that when teens are zoning out, they’re giving their conscious, focused minds a break and entering the world of creative thinking. By turning off their productivity, they’re able to access originality! He believes that if we want to raise teens who think outside the box, we should give teens scheduled time in the day to day dream, doodle, journal, and let their mind run free. 

 Teens who are open to new experiences also tend to be more creative, Scott explains. The more welcoming teens can be of new stimulus, the less confined their thinking will be. In the episode, he shares some fascinating examples of famous, accomplished scientists who didn’t just focus on one area, instead expanding their knowledge across different regions of the scientific world. This allowed them to think outside the box and have some of the most inventive ideas in modern science.

There are a lot of ways our education system could change to encourage more creativity, says Scott. In his view, schools need to assign more project-based learning, to help kids self-actualize and build something that incorporates their own perspectives. This is the first step to encouraging inventiveness and originality, he explains. He also suggests that kids learn to disagree with what they read in the textbook, and that teachers be more open to divergent discussions that push kids to think for themselves.

Most parents equate education with academics. While knowledge gained through formal education is important, parents must never lose focus on the higher objectives of education: character building, stewardship and glorifying God

As recent as May 2020, Barna Research found that: 

• 3/10 pastors (31%) say they’re struggling w/ their emotional wellbeing. 
• 26% admit to struggling w/ their relational wellbeing.
• Over half admit to being tired. (51%)
• 2 in 5 admit to feeling primarily exhausted (41%)
• Sad (41%) 

We discussed these statistics in our episode On Why Rest Matters For Pastors. 

In this episode, Stan & Josh take a look at the deeper issue of pastoral discouragement and discuss five ways that pastors can handle those times when they're having a terrible day, week, month, or year.

Today we're talking about building up our own character in Christ, and a path laid out for us by the Apostle Peter in his Second Epistle. For writers, we look at Character Sliders--a concept from Brandon Sanderson, and ways to use it to actively build our characters and make them grow or change, and passively to help assess why a character might be falling flat.

All Brandon Sanderson's BYU lectures from 2016 can be found here.

Quotes from Episode 11,  A Christ-Filled Christmas:
"We don't want to waste any holiday opportunity to pour into the life of our kids - to grow some character, to make some memories, and to build some traditions that our kids will want  to come back home to later."
"Learning to serve helps their heart and also develops people skills." 
So, let's get kids involved in:
*Making some of the food and/or prepping the house (our preparation let's our guests know how valuable they are to us) *Hosting includes thinking of the others' needs ahead of our own, learning to honor them and also serve them *Kids can make some cards in the shape of leaves with words on it of thankfulness for each special guest that is coming, or words that they feel describes that guest
What values do you want your kids to know you hold in the Christmas season?
