Join Axel Liimatta and Brandon Maxwell, as they begin a multi-part program, providing listeners with the history of Whetstone Boys Ranch. From the very roots of the ranch, to present day, this is a fascinating and inspiring story that you will not want to miss!

Every family has a story.

For years, we’ve spent this podcast telling you about Whetstone Boys Ranch: what we do, why we do it, and what we’ve learned from walking alongside struggling young men and their families.

But we’ve reached an exciting milestone.

Enough time has passed that many of our former residents are now firmly established in the next chapter of their lives. They’re building careers, strengthening relationships, serving their communities, and continuing the work that began at the ranch. That means we can begin inviting them back to tell their own stories in their own words, without compromising the work they’re doing today.

So we’re making a pivot.

A Time to Sharpen is becoming a video podcast. You’ll still find us on Spotify and the same places you’ve always listened, but now you’ll get to see the faces behind the stories. Yes, that includes ours… but more importantly, it includes the young men whose lives have been changed.

You don’t have to take our word for it anymore. You can hear it straight from the horse’s mouth.

Join us this week on A Time to Sharpen as we discuss “Pivot.”

Men talk different.

Ask a guy, “How are you feeling?” and suddenly he needs to check the oil in the truck truck, sharpen his knife, or discuss brisket temperatures.

But put him in a canoe, around a fire, or shoulder-to-shoulder doing something, and somehow the truth starts leaking out.

Usually between stories, jokes… and the occasional campfire fart.

Because most men know we oughta talk about hard things.

It matters.

It just doesn’t always come naturally.

Join us this week on A Time to Sharpen, as we discuss Men’s Weekend at Whetstone, along with a new coaching program designed to help guys to use their words long enough for something real to happen.
