Legacy Dads with Dave and Dante

While Christianity and the Church is growing in some parts of the world, there is a noticeable decline of Christianity in western churches. Why is this? In this first of a three-part series on modern-day discipleship, we interview Joe Svoboda. Joe is the founder of "Reproducible Discipleship." Having served as a discipleship consultant for ministries all over the United States, Africa, Asia and SE Asia, Joe has had the privilege of watching believers grow in discipleship competence with results that transcended cultural barriers. Additionally, he has seen those disciples go on to disciple others, who are now discipling others, who are now discipling others. This generational view of disciple-making is one way in which the western church can start to experience the revival that is definitely needed. Listen in to hear Joe's wisdom about identity and generational discipleship.

In our final episode of 2022, we sit down with Heath and Joey, the guys behind Aro. Aro leverages the science of habit formation and motivational design to ensure parents and kids don’t miss out on what’s most important by helping reclaim time spent on their phones. This at-home solution is creative, sleek, and easy to use, and helps all of us create a barrier between ourselves and our phones. "Kaizen" means "change good," and if you're looking to make a change in the upcoming year, consider this as a way to get some more quality time back with the people around you.

As the calendar flips to a new year, many people often take the opportunity to make resolutions to change something, or do something, or not do something...because they believe something about themselves that guides their behavior. That's all well and good, but if all of this is based on a false identity that we have come to believe, then any resolution we make will likely fall apart. In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the importance of realizing our "kingdom identity" and listening to who (or what) God calls us to be. Once we get that implanted into our being, there's no limit to where He will take us! God's word about our identity: Jeremiah 29:12-13...you are heard! 2 Timothy 1:7...you have power, love, and discipline! John 15:16...you are set apart! Ephesians 1:7...you are forgiven! 2 Corinthians 5:17...you are redeemed! Romans 8:37-39...you are loved! Zephaniah 3:17...you are exulted over!

Statistics show that nearly half of all marriages end in divorce (and that number goes up with multiple marriages). While the Legacy Dads are firm believers in preserving the covenant of marriage, they know there are times when it just doesn't (and can't) continue to be a viable option. In this episode, the guys sat down with Karen McMahon, founder of "Journey Beyond Divorce," a team of certified life coaches specializing in relationship and divorce coaching. In the interview, Karen discusses her own high-conflict divorce and how she was able to find her faith in God through it. She also describes some of the ways in which JBD coaches their clients through the often stormy waters of a divorce. Listen in to hear how Karen is able to use her God-given skills as a counselor and coach to help others through one of the most challenging personal times in a person's life.

Christmas is the season of giving. In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss Dave's recent trip to support Unusual Soldiers with a training event. God equips each of us with unique gifts that can ultimately help build up His kingdom. Whether it's providing training to others, giving generously, supporting church and local ministries, playing music, leading bible study, or any number of other gifts, it's important for us to have the spirit of giving in all aspects of our lives. "And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3:15.

In this interview we were happy to sit down with Blake Canterbury, founder of Purposity. Purposity is a technology-based application that you can use to identify specific needs and choose to meet those specific needs. Blake is technologically gifted and uses his knowledge and skills to connect those in need with those who can be generous. When we live generously, we are fulfilling a purpose greater than ourselves!

On the coattails of last week's episode on vulnerability, Dave and Dante get into the godly trait of humility. It's not weakness, and it's not holding your tongue. It's the opposite of selfishness and pride. And if we want to be more Christ-like, then we need to have humility in our lives. "For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and give His life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). That's the example we need to follow. Be humble!!

Far too often, guys are expected to fly away from vulnerability. Sometimes it is perceived as weakness; other times, as effeminate. But if men are not willing to be vulnerable and know how to work through their emotions in a healthy manner, their work for the kingdom of God could be diminished. In this episode, Dave and Dante answer a listener request to talk about vulnerability, and what it looks like for Christian men. Listen in as they discuss what it is through a biblical lens, walk through some personal testimony, and encourage listeners to consider the areas in their lives where vulnerability (and controlled emotion) needs to exist.

In this episode the guys discuss the importance of being delivered from the things that keep us from having a relationship with God...but also the importance of being delivered TO something that He has in store for us. Without a goal, without a destination, we are susceptible to continued struggle. But once we identify the target or goal, we can continue to use that as a way to move forward into the saving grace that God offers us through the sacrifice of His Son and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Listen in and be moved to action!
