Tune into the Kavod Family Podcast for a conversation with Travis Shook, Casey Wilson, and Jeffrey Epps. Coaching is far more than imparting skills; it has to do with developing a person. True discipleship and proper coaching look a lot more like fatherhood.

Jeffrey Epps is a boxing coach who uses his platform to mature young men and women for the future. He is a Christian man and a coach who wants to develop not just the hands but the heart and mind of a person.

This is an excellent conversation on discipleship from a coach's position.

Happy Independence Day!!!

Discipleship is a lifestyle. It's not a block of time, a day a week, or a program we sign up for; it's a mindset that encompasses everything in life. Join your host, Travis, Casey, and Jeffrey Epps, to hear how Jeff has used his everyday career to pour into the lives of many in our community.

God is using boxing as a platform to develop young men and women into mature adults.

What would it look like for you to do the same?

Have you caught a vision of how God wants to use you at work?

How might you disciple your employees, co-workers, and maybe even your boss?

Father's Day is here, and we have a great episode with your hosts, Travis, Casey, & Danny Antoine. Men need simple, straightforward advice, the kind of wisdom they always remember. That is what the Bible gives us in Ephesians 6:4, and that is what your hosts and this episode are about.

There is explicit instruction for fathers regarding what we SHOULD and SHOULD NOT do with our children.

This same instruction is what mentors, coaches, pastors, and leaders should have regarding training those under them.

Jesus was a servant but was not quiet or passive regarding training his disciples. He dealt with issues but did not discourage His people. You will hear this from your hosts on today's episode of the Kavod Family Podcast.

What posture should all fathers have towards their children, even their lost children? What is God's attitude towards us, even when we have wasted our lives? Join your hosts (Travis, Casey, Tom & Jeff) as they go through the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15), a parable far too familiar for many of us. 

The Prodigal Son is a story of compassion, love, forgiveness, and restoration.

It's a story that has given many lost sons and daughters understanding and hope. If you are a son struggling to "come home," this episode is for you. If you are a father in need of compassion and love for his children, this is an episode for you. If you have ever wasted your life and foolishly squandered everything given to you, this story is for you. This episode is about the love of God - The Prodigal's Father.   

#42 - Father Rule: The Hand That Rules The World

The hand that rules the world is a Father! 

Essential to the Christian faith is the understanding that God rules and governs all things - as a father. It is pretty incredible for God to create Adam "in His image, and in His likeness" (Gen. 1:27). It is even more remarkable to say "Adam, the son of God" (Luke 3:38). 

If you want to know more about the nature of God as the Father, or if you have a distorted view of fathers because of hurts and failures caused by the men in your life, this is a must-listen episode. 

This episode is the third and final part of a short series on 'Sex' featured on the Kavod Family Podcast. Join Travis, Lydia, Tom, Olga, and Casey as they engage in a conversation about good-fun sex. Throughout this series, we have aimed to facilitate a mature and tasteful dialogue suitable for most ages. In this final episode, we discuss what makes sex "good" and how to keep sex "fun."

Our ultimate goal is to celebrate God's plan for marriage, emphasizing that a committed union between one man and one woman not only honors God but also brings lifelong fulfillment. These episodes will encourage those patiently awaiting their future spouse. If you are single, this series will help strengthen your resolve to remain faithful to God's will regarding sexual relationships. For married individuals, this podcast will undoubtedly reignite the passion that ignited at the beginning of your marriage.

Enjoy!

#40 - Shameless Sex

Sex is like fire; when left wild, it can cause tremendous devastation, but when honored and respected, it becomes what God intended - a dynamic force for pleasure and purpose.

Join Kavod Family for part 2 of a short series on sex. This episode is all about God's ability to guide and restore. Your hosts share personal stories filled with failure and God's restoration. This is an honest, heartfelt plea for young adults and individuals to esteem God's plan for marriage and sex.
