    Fatherhood After 50: Setting the Example for Young Men | GenXpert (#0035)

    Christian fatherhood for Gen X dads means leading by example while raising teenage sons in a faith-filled home. Rick Carman of GenXpert shares the real challenges of modeling work ethic, purpose, and daily faith—especially as a retired military dad with Parkinson’s—urging fathers over 50 to make God a constant family presence, stay in the Word, avoid social media comparisons, and guide the next generation of men through prayer, Bible reading, and intentional discipleship.#ChristianFatherhood #GenXDads #RaisingTeenageSons #LeadByExample #FaithBasedParenting #ChristianParentingTips #WorkEthic #BibleStudyForKids #MenOfFaith #GenXpert

  • It's Finally Over! | "Day 31" Patriot Pushup Challenge | GenXpert (#0033)
    1 Aug 2026

    It's Finally Over! | Day 31 Patriot Pushup Challenge | GenXpert (#0033)Rick Carman (00:00)Hey everybody, Rick Carman here again, and this is GenXpert. That's right, we've made it. Day 31 of the Patriot Push Up Challenge. We've done 31 push ups for 31 days in a row. today is the last day.if you're new to this channel, we've been doing 31 push-ups for the month of July.next week's show. we'll be one episode a week and we'll be talking just about purpose and life after fifty and fitness and men's health and problems in the world and everythingAnd I'll be taking you on different trips to different places in the car around the property or whatever. So we'll be doing just more than just these push-ups. So stay tuned for that.So let's get these push-ups out of the way All right.Because the things of this world cannot give you the one thing that you need. And that's a relationship with Jesus Christ. So if you're struggling out there and you can't figure out what it is and you're watching these YouTube channels to say, what are these guys? What's this guy doing that that I need to do to make myself feel better? Or what's this guy, what's this person doing? How's this person you're making more money? How how come I make all this money and I'm not happy? How come I have all these things and I'm not happy?How come I have a great family and I'm still not happy? Why am I lonely? Why am I depressed? Because you don't have peace.Jesus Christ and reading the Word of God will give you peace and it'll fill that void that you don't know sometimes you don't even know that's there. You know, I throughout my life I've struggled with eating and eating things, you know, and I would just eat to fill the void. I would just eat and eat and eat. And you ever get to you ever do you ever do that where you go out to eat?God is our nutrients. So if you're out there feasting on everything of this world and all the all the cakes and the candies and the cheeseburgers and the french fries and you know the tacos and all that stuff and you're not eating any vegetables, you're not getting your nutrients, you know, God is your nutrients. The things of this world are your is your junk food. So you're never gonna you're you're gonna be craving, you're always gonna be craving something.

So if you're new here,Go back and watch the previous ones. Start it with day one and work your way up and you can do it. You can do that. Or you can just catch the last few days. We got a a different type of channel coming next week. We're gonna do one episode a week starting next week. And no push ups, no push ups. But I'll tell you what, I've gotten stronger and I've I just feel better about about my health and fitness and all that stuff. it's doing wonders. Well31 push-ups a day will make you stronger. So let's get after it.Ready One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty,Thirty one.Got my little mascots here with me today.

I'm excited. Not sad at all that it's gonna be over. So like I said, this channel will change dramatically next week.it'll be a little bit longer video. we may start going different locations either around the property or I'll take you a car with me sometimes. It'll just be me talking about life, stuff like that, getting away from the push-up videos. This may not this part of the channel may not be for everybody. I see you girl, I see you. I'm talking to the camera, okay?may not be for everybody but next week the true purpose of the channel will be you know going again so while i've enjoyed the pushup part of this channel i'm really excited to get back to the meat of the channel which is men over 50 find a purpose stay in fit and shape after 50know dealing with the society that's trying to push old guys out dealing with retirement and going from that earlier stage in life transitioning into back 50 of your life you know from the first 50 to the back 50 so we'll talk about all those kind of thingsAnd it'll be it'll be nice good discussions. We'll go like I said, different locations. I'll have you in a car at some point. I'll be walking with you at some point up on a you know with the camera on a stick and or I'll just stand here like this. But I know you're getting tired of seeing my porch probably and all the same same background over and over and over, but it was just the easiest thing to get these push-ups done. So one more day, guys, one more day.I'm excited. So as usual, I'm proud of you for showing up today. Thank you for coming. You could be anywhere else, but you decided to show up here and I really appreciate it. So I'm Rick Carman, this has been GenXpert. Until next time, get up, get out, and get better.
