About this listen

In this ProActivators Micro Podcast, Gabriel and Scott Newson dive deep into the Family pillar—not as a feel-good idea, but as a responsibility that must be led with intention, humility, and structure.

Scott rates himself a 9 out of 10 in the family category, not because his life is perfect, but because he made a decision years ago to invest consistently in relationships that matter most. From repairing strained family dynamics through honest self-examination, to calling his parents every Sunday for over 20 years, Scott explains how relationships thrive when you put something into them.

This conversation also explores the often-overlooked idea that family is a team, and teams require meetings, communication, and accountability. Scott shares how church community became family when he lived far from home, how serving together builds deep bonds, and how vulnerability among men creates real strength.

As a newly married man preparing for fatherhood, Scott opens up about what it means to become the priest of the home—not through perfection, but through simple, repeatable habits like reading Scripture at the dinner table, praying together, attending counseling proactively, and investing in marriage before problems arise.

Gabriel adds practical wisdom from his own household, including the power of weekly family meetings—where victories are celebrated, improvements are addressed, and even finances are discussed openly to build responsibility and unity.

This episode is a masterclass in intentional family leadership. If you want stronger relationships, deeper connection, and a home built on purpose—not drift—this conversation will challenge and equip you.
