FAQ's Part 3
S1E71 FAQ's: Part 2
FAQ’s: Part Two will address some of the questions that come out around the kitchen table at 11:30 at night: Is this place actually professional… or just a ranch with a nice logo? What kind of boys…
S1E70 FAQ's: Part 1
If you’re considering a place like Whetstone for your son, you’re not just looking for a brochure, you’re looking for answers. Real ones. The kind you ask when you can’t sleep. The house is finally…

Description Forthcoming
Next-Gen
Everyone likes new things. New phones. New systems. New news. That’s weird phrase, but you catch my drift.The problem is, new doesn’t always mean better. On the other hand, old doesn’t automatically…
Self Care
Self-care doesn’t announce itself at Whetstone with spa music and soft lighting. It shows up in the mundane: brushing teeth, washing clothes, tending a cut, making a bed that will be messed up again…
S1E67 Money
No one likes to talk about money. The very word is a little cringy. We prefer to talk about wealth, finances, the budget. These are more palatable. The same thing applies to the term fund-raising.…
S1E66 Spiritual Life
It’s a little ironic that has taken us 65 episodes to get this topic. You could argue it should’ve been the first one we ever recorded, because spiritual life is our top priority — the reason we do…
S1E65 Girls
Running a boys ranch means we spend a lot of time talking about manhood—but you can’t really understand boys without talking about girls.God made us different on purpose. Not to compete but to…
S1E64 Light's Out
When most of the world goes to sleep, life at Whetstone keeps rolling. The lights may be out, but the work doesn’t stop. Boys still need care. Emergencies can happen. And someone has to keep diligent…
S1E63 Bumps & Bruises
Bumps, bruises, and bug bites—it’s all part of growing up in the Ozarks. Around here, ‘rub some dirt on it’ isn’t just advice, it’s practically a lifestyle. Of course, we’re also First Aid certified,…
S1E62 Harvard-Bound
It’s not everyday that a former student of yours says that he’s been accepted to Harvard Law School - or every year...or every lifetime! But recently, Whetstone was honored by the news that one of…
S4E61 Sleep Matters
Sleep is the secret weapon most of us are too tired to use. We hustle, grind, and caffeinate our way through exhaustion, ignoring the one thing our minds and bodies need most. In this episode of A…
S1E60 Neurodivergence
We all think differently. But some of us think more differently than others…if that makes sense. Maybe it doesn’t. I don’t know. Which is why we invited Jonathan Page to talk with us about the very…
S1E59 Growing Pains
Some of us are old enough to remember when Kirk Cameron was a teenage heartthrob and the star of an 80’s family sitcom called “Growing Pains.” This show was also notable for its catchy theme song and…
S1E58 Staying Married
It’s impossible to overestimate the importance of marriage. Sure, some marriages fail, some are toxic, and some are even deadly. Still, there is nothing that has the power to build a person, a…
S1E58 Sick & Tired
Flu season is almost over, but if you hurry, there’s just enough to catch the seasonal bug if you want. You have until the end of May, in case you're interested. There’s really a lot to be said for…
S1E57 Childhood Bullying Pt. 2
In part two of this special podcast dealing with school bullying, Axel, Brandon and Thomas share thoughts about the bullying problem, along with some simple, proven effective ways to address…
S2E56 Childhood Bullying: Pt. I
Whetstone's Thomas Brown joins Brandon and Axel for the first of a two-part series on the subject of childhood bullying. Once a victim of terrible bullying, Thomas emerged as a three-decades…
S55E1 LOL!
Rules without Relationship = Rebellion. We’ve said this before on the podcast, but it bears repeating. Whetstone Boys Ranch was founded upon this basic assumption. Rules are necessary, but without a…
