As Dave gets ready to welcome a new arrow to the quiver (Psalms 127:5), we thought it would be a great time to talk about ten things that new dads should know. A lighthearted look at the part of life that makes us Legacy Dads. Enjoy!

Legacy-Dads Podcast

New Dad? Ten Top Tips!

In this second part of the "God in Action" story of Beau and Rachel, we get to hear what happens when they both turned to God in their lives. What happens when a married couple stops listening to the world and completely submits to God? Listen in and hear how God uses two indivuduals who say "yes" to not only show His power, grace, and mercy, but then how He uses them to advance His kingdom and spread the gospel all around the world. This testimony is one that will leave you inspired!

God in Action - Beau and Rachel, Part 2

Our "God in Action" series is a focus on hearing people's stories of God in their lives. We often look for "biblical miracles" only to miss some of the more intimate encounters between God and his children. We pray this series emboldens you to look for, listen to, and seek out God and his work in our lives. This is the story of Beau and Rachel. We were lucky enough to sit down with this couple and hear their story, but even more so, to see a husband and wife who only made it because of God and his work! Listen in to part one to hear their past, and tune in to part two to hear where God led them after they let go and let God!

God in Action - Beau and Rachel, Part 1

In part two, Dave and Dante talk about dealing with a narcissist when that person isn't you! If you're married to, dating, a friend of, or a child of a person who is exhibiting narcissistic behaviors and traits (NOT diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder), how do you respond? What sort of path can you walk in order to continue to build your legacy? Listen in; we pray you learn something!

Narcissism Part 2

As a spiritual leader, husband, father, or man, it is easy to fall into the trap of narcissistic behaviors. The attention feels good, the notoriety feels good. But when that "feel good" turns into habits and patterns, we enter dangerous waters. In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss 14 traits of a spiritual narcissist and how that can impact a man internally. If it isn't stopped in its tracks, it can become a major contributor to problems in all areas of a man's life. Tune in to this series to hear how to deal with this slow-acting poison!

Spiritual Narcissism, Part 1

Joe's story continues, and we see where God has brought Joe to today. When we "let go and let God" our perspective changes...everything changes! Hear how Joe handles being a Christian saved by grace in his workplace, and hear some advice if you're in circumstances that seem overbearing and insurmountable. God gets the glory!!

God in Action - Joe, Part 2

To kick off season 6 of the Legacy Dads Podcast, we are starting with a powerful testimony. In this first half of Joe's testimony, we hear about his circumstances - where he was sinful in a sin-filled world - and how God started to work on Joe through others. Spoiler alert...it isn't Joe who gets him out of the life he was in...but it did involve Joe "letting go, and letting God." Tune in for season 6, episode 2, to hear the continuation of Joe's story and to see just how wonderfully God is able to make things happen for His glory!

God in Action - Joe, Part 1

On August 26, 2021, a complex attack consisting of a suicide bomber and small-arms fire happened at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. 13 United States service members, and over 150 Afghans were killed in the attack. In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the emotions that many are feeling - anger, frustration, and sadness - and how to walk through this situation by relying on our faith. Please visit https://www.taps.org to see how you can support the family members, friends, and coworkers of these, and so many other, service members.

In Memory of August 26, 2021

"God never answers my prayers!" Chances are, as a Christian, you've probably felt like this one time in your life. God's word contains plenty of instruction for how a husband and wife should be in relationship with each other. In this week's podcast, Dave and Dante discuss 1 Peter 3:1-7...but mostly verse 7. If you feel like your prayers aren't being heard, perhaps, as a husband, you need to dive into this verse and see where you can make some improvements!

Hindered Prayers

Are you ready for some scripture? Dave and Dante discuss the "god of this world" that Paul talks about in 2 Corinthians - and ways that Legacy Dads can use scripture to stay in the fight, to battle the enemy, and to really fortify the defenses against the enemy who uses tried-and-true methods to keep people from hearing, and knowing, the gospel. Grab a bible and a highlighter or a notebook or journal and be ready to get some scriptural firepower in your arsenal!

Blind to the Gospel

 You’re a legacy dad (or mom, or parent, caretaker, or whatever). You’ve come to Christ and know that you’re supposed to pray. If you’re a Christian in today’s world, statistics show that we are praying less frequently, for less time, and (arguably) with less depth than in previous generations. Maybe when it comes down to it, your prayer sounds more like a prayer from a pageant contestant than someone who is trying to talk to God. If you’re in this position (or anything remotely similar), this episode is for you. Dave and Dante discuss a couple of ways to pray - the five finger method, and the ACTS method - as ways to continue to develop your prayer life.

Praying - It's Not Rocket Science

Dante and Dave discuss five man-killers that are sure to take down any man who isn't properly equipped to recognize and respond. How do we deal with fear or abdication or anything in between? Listen in for some practical and biblical ways in which to protect yourself and your family from these man-killers!

5 Man Killers

Dave and Dante are back together to discuss what it means to be a man of God as opposed to being a man of the world. Listen in as they discuss some of the aspects of an article written in 2014 (and updated in 2018) to highlight what a Legacy Dad should be focused on today.

Man of God, or Man of the World?

In this episode, Dante brings on another special guest to talk about her faith journey, her view of what a Legacy Dad is, and more importantly, to keep Dante in check! Listen in as Dante and his daughter Belle discuss the Legacy Dad and Christian life.

Servanthood...continued!

Western church consumerism versus the church of Jesus Christ - what is our role as legacy dads and moms in this modern era of "selfish"? What does true church and worship look like? Dante and special guest, Octavian, explore the differences between western churches and what true worship should look like.

The Church, or Western Consumerism?
