TMP 230- The Lost Art of Conversation: Teaching Your Family How to Think
Mar 12, 2026 Episode 230
Mike Van Pelt

 Real conversation is disappearing in our culture, and with it the ability to listen, think, and seek wisdom. In this episode of the True Man Podcast, I explore how fathers can reclaim the lost art of conversation by asking better questions, modeling thoughtful dialogue, and teaching their families how to think, one dinner table conversation at a time.
