These FRDs are Giving Back…
FRD members Chris Emick and Mitch Nachtigall have started a book club with weekly meetings as another way to connect with other dads.
Join the FRD Book Club each week for an in-depth, vulnerable, open discussion about the current book we’re reading, along with anything else that comes up. Don’t sweat it if you haven’t read the latest section or even cracked open the book yet! You’ll still get a lot out of the discussion and your presence is valuable to everybody.

ABOUT THIS CALL
You’ll have the chance to ask Dr. Kelly Flanagan about his book, The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell. Kelly is all about answering the question of what our purpose for this life is, so prepare your questions!
ABOUT Dr. Kelly Flanagan
I grew up in a small town in rural Illinois, and I got out of it as fast as I could, because I figured the satisfaction we’re all looking for couldn’t be found in a cornfield. I went to the University of Illinois and majored in psychology, before going on to Penn State for graduate school. There, I met my lovely wife (who also happens to be named Kelly, as if life isn’t already complicated enough), we had our first child, and I earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Then, I went on to become a successful therapist. I’d checked every box I could think of in search of a satisfying life, and yet true satisfaction still seemed somehow out of reach. That’s when I got depressed—really depressed—for the first time in my life. By 2011, I was asking the same question most of my clients were asking: there’s got to be more to life than this, right?
Dr. Kelly Flanagan is the author of The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell. Elijah Campbell is on the verge of losing his writing career, his faith, and his marriage when a recurring childhood nightmare drives him back to his hometown, Bradford’s Ferry.
There, his encounters with loved ones both past and present shed light on the reason his wife left him—and the meaning of his nightmare. However, beyond the light he begins to glimpse something even more terrifying—a decision he must make…to continue hiding the secrets of his past or unhide the only thing that can save his marriage: himself.
In psychologist Kelly Flanagan’s non-fiction works (Loveable, True Companions), he drew from clinical insight to explore the spiritual depths of identity and relationships. Now, in this debut novel, he weaves a page-turning and plot-twisting tale that brings new life to those insights, along with fresh revelations about personal growth, spiritual transformation, and the dynamics of interpersonal relationships.
This visit to Bradford’s Ferry will linger long after the final page has been turned, and a guide for group discussion invites further conversation about the story’s themes of healing, grace, faith, forgiveness, and freedom.

These FRDs are Giving Back…
FRDs & Health Experts Mike Green, Mike Gorman and Nate Palmer want to give back to the FRD community through “Medical Mondays”.
These guys would like to invite real medical questions from guys dealing with real medical problems for themselves and their families and not just answering interesting questions that anyone could look up. There will be a spreadsheet used to prioritize and upvote questions.
CONTRIBUTE TO UPVOTE DOC
For a little back story…
We are at an interesting time in the information/internet age. Information is so ubiquitous that it is overwhelming. Medicine is no different. For that reason, now more than ever there is a lack of trust in medicine. And the pandemic has drained whatever trust was left.
Obviously these gents don’t have all the answers but they want to be a trustworthy source of medical information for the Front Row Dads group. They’d like to be a sounding board and one of our “relationships” that can point to “resources” as they see them. In an effort to provide different points of view and coverage, they are making what Mike Green calls “Medical Monday”.
These sessions will not be recorded for privacy and liability purposes. Upcoming dates include:
- April 17th | 1PM CT
- May 15th | 1PM CT
- June 19th | 1PM CT
