We Over Me: Rebuilding Community in Redding— Youth, Sports & Brotherhood with Ky Strickler

Redding isn't just lakes and trails—it's people. In this episode, Joey sits down with Ky Strickler (longtime YMCA leader, coach, and community-builder) to talk about getting our kids—and ourselves—off the screens and back into real, face-to-face community. From three-on-three hoops and school sports to men's groups, fatherhood, faith, and the power of simply showing up, Ky makes the case for "we over me."

They dig into why loneliness is surging, how online anonymity fuels division, and what practical, local steps can reconnect us: youth programs, pick-up games, food-truck meetups, church and club gatherings, and intentional time with friends. If you care about Redding's next generation (and your own sanity), this conversation is a playbook.

What you'll hear:

- Youth, sports, and building resilience through teamwork

- From isolation to involvement: real antidotes to anxiety & division

- Men's friendship, mentorship, and the "Dad Project" idea

- Faith, service, and leading with humility ("we over me")

- Local community touchpoints: 3-on-3 tourneys, food-truck park, Cool April Nights, Rodeo Church
