  • Mismanaged Misalignment in your NeuroDiverse Relationship

    Mismanaged Misalignment in your NeuroDiverse Relationship
    2026/04/06
    In a discussion over a fast earlier this year, we were facing big decisions and in prayer and fasting together on misalignment and differing views. Dan came up with the idea to do a show on this- when you are in misalignment or competing needs- what do you do? Do you resort to the rules or roles - well, the man wins? Or do you ask God for more guidance? Relationships and slowing down are rarely efficient but always important.

  • Putting Down The Dream Grieving & Connecting to God in Disappointment & Community

    Putting Down The Dream Grieving & Connecting to God in Disappointment & Community
    2026/03/23
    Today is a different feel for Just the Guys with guest panelists John Fela & Rev. Josh Davis.
    This month, we are putting the focus on disability, differences, and diversity, and the Church at large!
    Dan, John & Josh share personal and lived experiences, father, pastor, spiritual director, coach, and advocate experiences!
    What is grief? Is that wrong? Does Grief mean God didn't do something good for me?
    How is the CHURCH doing in supporting families with a member (or members) on the autism spectrum?
    The Guys talk about what went well, the guilt they carry for what they didn't know at the time, forcing assimilation/masking in the 'church environment' as well as what they know now, and how churches can better come along with children/teens/families.
    John Fela:
    John Fela (M.Ed) is a national disability advocate, working with both faith-based and non-faith-based disability organizations. He previously worked for Joni and Friends, a global disability ministry. Prior to that, he spent almost 20 years in education, serving in a variety of roles as a classroom teacher in both public and private school settings, as well as being a mentor teacher and school director. He holds certifications in both Montessori and traditional teaching methods and is trained in a variety of specializations, including ESL and Special Education.
    John is a public speaker, a blogger for a variety of disability advocacy platforms, and the author of Faith Like My Father, a memoir of his journey as a parent of a child with a disability. John lives in Lyons, IL, with his wife, Faith, and is father to his son, Christopher (ASD/NS).

    Josh Davis:
    Josh Davis is not just a pastor—he is an advocate for neurodivergent individuals, using his platform to share hearts, build bridges, and encourage understanding in a world that often overlooks the unique experiences of those with autism and ADHD. He invites you to explore your own faith, engage in self-discovery, and discover the endless possibilities that lie ahead as you seek a deeper connection with yourself and God.
    Don’t miss out on the ongoing conversation about faith and neurodivergence.
