Rejoice, Pray, Give Thanks: Talking About Damar Hamlin

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thess 5:16-18). On January 2, 2023, football fans witnessed Damar Hamlin suffer a severe medical emergency, being resuscitated on the field and taken to the hospital where he went through a miraculous recovery. In situations like this, it's important for legacy dads (and moms) to use it as a teachable moment. When we see something like that happen, how do we rejoice? How do we

"Time" with Fox and Rob Richardson

We had the pleasure to interview Fox and Rob Richardson about their upcoming book "Time: The Untold Story of the Love That Held Us Together When Incarceration Kept Us Apart." This is yet another example that there is nothing that God cannot shine through. The twenty-one years that kept Rob separated from his wife, Fox, and their six sons was long enough. As Rob survived two decades at America's bloodiest penitentiary and Fox raised their sons solo, they never stopped fighting for Rob's freedom a

Discipleship Series 2023: Beauty, Brawn, and Brains Part 2

The Legacy Dads continue the conversation with Jeff, Joe, and Phil to discuss the ways in which Christians, who are living in their true kingdom identity, are called to mission. Whatever sector of life you are in (there are 7), God calls Christians to "therefore go and make disciples." That involves sacrifice, effort, and most importantly, full faith in where God leads you. Listen in to this episode to hear some truth-bombs being dropped by all the guests. If you aren't inspired to go and do som

Discipleship Series 2023: The Dynamic Duo

In this second part of a three-part series on modern-day discipleship, we bring back Joe Svoboda and bring in Jeff McDaniel. Building on the last episode and the fact that we need to understand our God-given identities, the guys bring into the fact that Christians then have a mission to undertake...but in community with others. Humans, and Christians, are neither made nor called to operate alone. Therefore the next step after learning our identity is to determine the mission and get after it. Li

The Road Less Traveled with Joe Svoboda

While Christianity and the Church is growing in some parts of the world, there is a noticeable decline of Christianity in western churches. Why is this? In this first of a three-part series on modern-day discipleship, we interview Joe Svoboda. Joe is the founder of "Reproducible Discipleship."

Aro leverages the science of habit formation and motivational design to ensure parents and kids don’t miss out on what’s most important by helping reclaim time spent on their phones. This at-home solution is creative, sleek, and easy to use, and helps all of us create a barrier between ourselves and our phones.

Identity > Resolutions

As the calendar flips to a new year, many people often take the opportunity to make resolutions to change something, or do something, or not do something...because they believe something about themselves that guides their behavior. That's all well and good, but if all of this is based on a false identity that we have come to believe, then any resolution we make will likely fall apart. In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the importance of realizing our "kingdom identity" and listening to who

"Journey Beyond Divorce" with Karen McMahon

Statistics show that nearly half of all marriages end in divorce (and that number goes up with multiple marriages). While the Legacy Dads are firm believers in preserving the covenant of marriage, they know there are times when it just doesn't (and can't) continue to be a viable option. In this episode, the guys sat down with Karen McMahon, founder of "Journey Beyond Divorce," a team of certified life coaches specializing in relationship and divorce coaching. In the interview, Karen discusses he

Humility: Necessary for Christian Men

Humility: Necessary for Christian Men

On the coattails of last week's episode on vulnerability, Dave and Dante get into the godly trait of humility. It's not weakness, and it's not holding your tongue. It's the opposite of selfishness and pride. And if we want to be more Christ-like, then we need to have humility in our lives. "For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and give His life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). That's the example we need to follow. Be humble!!

Vulnerability: Necessary for Christian Men

Far too often, guys are expected to fly away from vulnerability. Sometimes it is perceived as weakness; other times, as effeminate. But if men are not willing to be vulnerable and know how to work through their emotions in a healthy manner, their work for the kingdom of God could be diminished. In this episode, Dave and Dante answer a listener request to talk about vulnerability, and what it looks like for Christian men.

In this episode the guys discuss the importance of being delivered from the things that keep us from having a relationship with God...but also the importance of being delivered TO something that He has in store for us. Without a goal, without a destination, we are susceptible to continued struggle. But once we identify the target or goal, we can continue to use that as a way to move forward into the saving grace that God offers us through the sacrifice of His Son and through the power of the Hol

The Gift of Listening

The Gift of Listening

It seems like society doesn't want us quick to listen and slow to speak...quite the opposite sometimes! In this episode Dave and Dante discuss the art of listening and how important it is in today's day and age. Whether it's a kid trying to tell you about their day, your wife (or soon to be wife) laying her concerns in front of you, or a brother in Christ who is confessing his struggles to you, the skill of listening - not just hearing - is one a Legacy Dad must have.

In this episode, we welcome Michael, aka the Honest Youth Pastor. This is the final part of a three-part series on biblical masculinity. We talked through biblical masculinity and why it is important for Christian men to keep striving to be more like the man that Jesus was while he was on earth. What are the fruits of biblical masculinity, and how can you differentiate between "toxic" and "biblical" masculinity? Do you have role models for how to be a Christian man?

These traits can be tied to scripture verses, and Dave and Dante discuss each of these and how to continue to grow to be the man, husband, and father that God created us to be.

Biblical masculinity is under attack. God created men to be men and to have certain characteristics and traits. Yet today, it seems as if having those unique, God-given traits is something that should be hidden or diminished. In this first part of a three-part series on masculinity, Dave and Dante get into the foundations of what's wrong with men today. Why are we at the point we are at today? What does the bible say about masculinity? And how do we start to course-correct in order to be men, hu

Band of Brothers

In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with people who will ultimately keep you accountable and point you to God. When we face struggles and we want to make change, we need to have people around us who we can lean on, who will help us to grow, and will love us when we stumble. Whether you're a man surrounded by brothers, or a woman surrounded by sisters, when you are engaged in the fight together, you are much more likely to win the battle in the long run.

In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss those topics and get into ways in which we can stay in the fight. It might make some people uncomfortable, and a lot of us might not know what to do.

We are part of the body of Christ, and we each have a specific role to play.

Men play a critical role not only in the leadership of their families, but also in the life of their church. We have to get involved.

Fear, Shame, and Guilt...Revisited

In this episode, Dave and Dante hit the topic of fear, shame, and guilt. It's not the first time the Legacy Dads have talked about these three emotions. And it probably won't be the last. When so much damage happens because of actions and behaviors rooted in these emotions, it's important for all of us to continually strive to recognize and react in a way that helps us to lead our families and lives in a manner that ultimately glorifies God.

Three days after the Dobbs' decision was released by the Supreme Court of the United States, Anderson and DeSanctis' book "Tearing Us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing" hit the shelves. In their book they describe the fact that there is hope in the ruins of Roe v. Wade. From the description, "Abortion hollows out marriage and the family.

That's what it says. It doesn't say "separation of church and state." It doesn't say that anywhere in the Constitution of the United States of America.

The conversation transitions to the importance of men not only saying they're Christians and going to church, but living out their faith involved in men's ministry at both the local level and at events like Grid Iron.

In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the importance of living in the "one truth" way of following Jesus, especially when we are inundated with societal and cultural issues which everybody seems to be arguing about.

Whether you idolize money, or things, or image, or relationships, the end result is always the same: the wrath of God. He is a selfish and jealous God, and being the Creator, well, He has every right to be so. And because of that, He doesn’t take too well to sharing our devotion.

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). These words from Paul to the church in Thessalonica are the framework Dave and Dante use to discuss what Thanksgiving should look like for a Christian and Legacy Dad.

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.
