Monday Morning Dad

How do we make disciples? Is there a difference when we're talking about our own family? What are some challenges we face in discipling our kids?

These are all questions we answer in this episode with Matt Rumbaugh (master of all things discipleship)!

"Chatty" Chris is hanging out with us this week answering the "5 W's" of fatherhood. Another dad of 2 girls, Chris helps us learn a lot about what makes a great Biblical father and shares another epic dad fail with us. Spoiler alert: don't wear socks on hardwoods...

Ben Garcia comes back to chat about the enneagram and how we can use it to gain an understanding of ourselves, our wives, and our kids so that we can be better dads who point our families to Jesus!

Revelation 7:9 talks about a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages standing before the throne. I cannot wait for that day, but my hope is that we get to experience a small taste of that here on earth. I am thankful that I get to stand shoulder to shoulder with Stephon Chester and encourage our church and fellow dads to pursue unity through the gospel of Jesus.

Planning for the future is a worship concern - our hearts in saving and investing show WHAT or WHO we really worship. Once we have a biblical understanding of the gifts we've been given, we'll be able to plan well for OUR future and our KIDS' future. TJ Shaughnessy joins us this week to share some thoughts on how to do this well. 

When we talk about "being present" with our family, we don't just mean being in the same room with them. There's more of an emotional presence than a physical presence. Andrew Watkins joins us to discuss how he's been able to engage well with his family and be more emotionally present. 

Fear and anxiety are struggles a lot of parents deal with, but there is hope found in Psalm 56 - We can put our trust in God when we are afraid, and He is for us! Shannon joins me to talk about her experiences with anxiety, how husbands can support their wives, and how we can lead our kids through fear and anxiety. 

It wouldn't be a dad podcast without having THE dad on the podcast! Tim Shaughnessy joins us this week in a new format called the "5 W's", which consist of a WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY question related to fatherhood. 

Joe Wilbur is a dad of 4 - 2 girls that he gets to hug and kiss every day, 2 others that he will meet in Heaven one day. We talk with Joe about leading through the loss of a child through miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy.
