In this episode of the Hey Brother Podcast, Mitch and I reflect on our conversation with Jacob and dive into the deeper meaning behind gift giving—not just as an act of generosity, but as a reflection of how we know and love the people in our lives.

We discuss:
➡️ Why giving good gifts requires actually knowing someone.
➡️ The challenge of giving and receiving gifts well.
➡️ How generosity and sacrifice shape relationships.
➡️ Overcoming the fear of getting the “wrong” gift.

Gift giving isn’t just about presents—it’s about presence. Whether it’s within brotherhood, marriage, or fatherhood, learning how to give and receive well is an essential part of deep, meaningful relationships.

You’re not alone, brother. Let’s grow together.
