Leading Your Family Through a Crisis: How to Be the Man They Need When a Storm Hits w/ Rick Burgess EP 884
In this week’s expert interview, Jim Ramos is joined by Rick Burgess, nationally syndicated radio host, author, and co-founder of The Man Church. Rick shares the unforgettable lessons passed down from his father—lessons forged on the football field, in the face of personal tragedy, and in the quiet strength of unwavering masculinity. From the story behind his book "Men Don’t Run in the Rain" to the heartbreaking loss of his son, Rick unpacks what it means to be the kind of man who shows up, stands firm, and never shrinks back when life demands more.
