This conversation was recorded July 28, 2020 with my friend Victor Bartley, a Dad three times over. This conversation features moments of raw honesty and sincerity that are often left unvoiced and unnamed. Victor talks about the role his own father played in his life, and explores his fatherhood experience thus far through the lens of a word not often associated with fatherhood. See if you can pick up what word that might be. Thank you for listening!

This conversation was recorded August 30, 2020, and features an intimate conversation with my friend and fellow Dad, Bill Army, who first appeared on the podcast in the episode entitled "The Dad'ing Thing". This time around, our conversation deviates from the traditional Dad talk, and we speak openly and honestly about race relations in our present times by addressing the recent shooting of James Black, another unarmed Black man who was shot at seven times in the back in front of his children.
Bill plays the role of host of this episode as he leads this raw, emotional, intense, and hopefully thought provoking conversation.

Dr. Sedlacek approaches this discussion from a Biblical worldview, while also siting scientific data to corroborate his assertions.
