Legacy Podcast

We can end up giving our children everything except ourselves.

Join Andy Lamberton as he kicks off a new season of the Legacy Podcast with six things he’s learned from talking to 1,000 fathers. From going to bed at the same time as your wife to protecting family time and getting a handle on technology, Andy reflects on the everyday choices that shape our homes.

Practical encouragement to give your attention to the people you love and ask God to lead you as their father.

Recorded live at New Wine Ireland, Andy Lamberton is joined by Rev. Tommy MacNeil and Bishop David McClay for a conversation on faith, fatherhood and the work of God in ordinary homes. Using the life of Abraham as a guide, they explore how he becomes God's friend before he becomes a father, what that looks like to develop in friendship with God, why fathers matter more than we think, and how a vision for revival looks like a Bible on every kitchen table.

This conversation is an invitation to see how God delights to work through ordinary families. Families like yours.

They discuss:

• Growing in friendship with God.

• Building homes centred on Christ.

• Simple ways to begin family worship.

• Encouragement for fathers who feel inadequate.

• Caring for the fatherless in an under-fathered society.

• Lessons from the Hebrides Revival.

• The altars of the heart, the home, the church and the region.

Guests

Bishop David McClay serves as Bishop of Down and Dromore. Before becoming bishop in 2020, he served for many years as rector of Willowfield Parish Church in Belfast. Raised on a farm in County Donegal, David is passionate about servant leadership, evangelism, discipleship and seeing churches flourish in mission.

Rev. Tommy MacNeil has served alongside his wife Donna in ministry since 2000. After ministering in Barvas, where the Hebrides Revival took place from 1949-52, they moved to Martin's Memorial Church in Stornoway in 2006. Tommy has become widely known for his Bible teaching and his passion to see genuine spiritual revival.
