We're back! Ben will be joining Ryan for each episode and we've added a sports segment in so our wives don't have to listen to our banter. In this episode we look at 1 Corinthians 13:11 and talk about what it looks like to grow in maturity and help others grow as well. 

Cat's out of the bag - the Uphoffs had their baby! Elias Martin Uphoff joined us on October 12, 2020 and now Austin & Kayla have a couple months under their belts as parents. It's a party this week as the 4 of us share their birth story and how it has impacted them as parents.

You can find Part 1 with Austin in Episode 3 of the Monday Morning Dad Podcast.

We're just two parents with two kids and all of us are bent toward being ungrateful. We talk about the goal of gratitude, being grateful whether we're in the "wilderness" or in "fertile land", and look at some ways to grow in gratitude while encouraging our kids to grow in gratitude as well.

We all deal with anger - it may explode, simmer, or seem dormant, but we all experience anger. With anger defined as what we experience when we perceive something is WRONG and IMPORTANT, Matt and Ryan discuss anger from a biblical viewpoint as it relates to the character of God. 

The BEST guest joins me this week to chat about all the fun we had at Kalahari Resort in Pennsylvania this past week. Big water slides, arcade games that go "ding" and spit out lots of tickets, and TV shows first thing in the morning. Grace loves vacation. 

Jack Attack joins the podcast to share the birth story of little Ginny Gill, born on October 16th.

Live from Burleson, Texas, Ben Garcia joins me at the ironing board for a quick chat about Halloween. Best candy, one we can get rid of, favorite costumes from the past? These are all questions we dig into. We also talk about how the holiday can be redeemed and celebrated to the glory of God!

You heard from Joe in Episode 6 where we talked about leading through loss. Check out that episode for some background on his family, then come listen as we go through the 5 W's - a WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY question about fatherhood.
