Who my blog can help

I launched this blog in early 2012, and it is rapidly growing into a vibrant and engaged community of people looking to improve their family life, their work life, and the lives of those around them.

What I blog about

I help motivated but overwhelmed husbands and fathers learn how to lead and love their families so they can have lasting, fulfilling marriages and meaningful influence on their kids.

Below are some of the topics I write about:

Why I blog

Being Family-Centered is Important I am very passionate about family, and I work hard to balance my personal, family, and professional lives. I believe faith and family is the foundation of all other aspects of our lives. I work hard to center my personal life and professional life around my faith and my family, not the other way around. I try to do this in a way that helps me, as well as those I’m connected with.

We Must Constantly Learn and Grow I am constantly seeking to learn new things and apply them to my life. One thing I have learned through blogging and interacting with my readers is there are other people with similar passions. There are many people who place a high value and priority on faith and family.

Our Duty is To Share and Teach My blog has become my outlet for sharing these lessons and connecting with all who share these values, and want to join us. As this happens you grow, I grow, and our families, companies, and communities receive the benefits.

About my family

I’ve been happily married to my wife, Stephana, since June of 2001. Well, not always happily. We’ve had some issues, but what we’ve learned in overcoming them enables me to understand those of you who are experiencing the same.

We have one daughter, Jaicey, and two sons, Jackson and Joshua. And similar to our marriage, our parenting journey hasn’t been without challenges, but we’ve grown through them.

We live in Indianapolis, Indiana. In my free time, I enjoy dating my wife, coaching my kids sports teams, running, and playing basketball.

I come from a line of family men, my father and grandfather, who shared a passion for their family. This passion drove them to be the best they could be in leading and loving their famliy, experiencing both success and failures along the way.

I’ve followed suit and through my experiences I’ve learned just how difficult it can be to effectively lead and love my family. And the three of us are not alone. Many men have similar struggles.

What I’ve experienced, and the lessons I’ve learned are not only valuable to Bledsoe family men, but all family men. You can benefit from what I’ve learned and use it as a template to better lead and love your family.
