Legacy Dads with Dave and Dante

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!

In this episode, Legacy Dads Dave and Dante get to sit down with Kirk Cameron and discuss his new movie "Lifemark," set to premiere on the PureFlix streaming platform on November 22nd, 2022. Kirk Cameron is known by millions as “Mike Seaver” from the 1980’s hit sit-com, "Growing Pains." Since then, he’s invested his time and energy into faith and family-focused films, television shows, and live events. Kirk also hosts "Takeaways," a weekly show on TBN, as well as his American Campfire Revival nights on Facebook Live and other social media platforms. The guys talk through the movie "Lifemark," and cover topics ranging from adoption to abortion to mandates and lock-downs. He and his wife, Chelsea, met on the set of "Growing Pains" and have been married for 31 years. They have six children, four of whom are adopted, and host an all-expenses-paid summer camp for terminally ill children and their families called Camp Firefly.

We had the honor of sitting down with Colonel Todd "Riddler" Riddle and discussing his new book "Faith, Family, and Fighter Jets." In the interview we hear about Riddler's experience as an A-10 Thunderbolt II (i.e. Warthog!) combat pilot, as a knees-in-the-breeze paratrooper, and as a leader in both his family and career field. Riddler discusses his book and talks about how he maintains faith in the somewhat Babylon-like culture of our day.

Gather. Restore. Ignite. Transform. GRIT. Dave and Dante finally met in Indiana, along with previous Legacy Dads guest Jeff McDaniel to speak at the GRIT men's conference. In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss their thoughts after the event. There were nearly 200 men at the event, and they were able to learn about false identities and the necessity for endurance in the faith. Listen in as they discuss the conference, and the importance of men being able to shed the identity that is not God-given, live in the identity that God blessed them with, and how to have the endurance to do "kingdom-building" in that identity.

It seems like society doesn't want us quick to listen and slow to speak...quite the opposite sometimes! In this episode Dave and Dante discuss the art of listening and how important it is in today's day and age. Whether it's a kid trying to tell you about their day, your wife (or soon to be wife) laying her concerns in front of you, or a brother in Christ who is confessing his struggles to you, the skill of listening - not just hearing - is one a Legacy Dad must have. Listen in (no pun intended) and see if there's any areas for improvement in your daily life.

We had the pleasure to sit down with Pastor and new author Jeremy Freeman to discuss his book "#butGod: The Power of Hope When Catastrophe Crashes In," out October 18, 2022. In the book, Jeremy details he and his family’s experience following his son Caleb’s devastating car accident, and God’s faithfulness through Caleb’s miraculous recovery. Jeremy also shares about the darkness that nearly overtook their family in the waiting, and the #butGod movement that captured the prayers of Christians around the world. #butGod includes heartfelt excerpts from Emily’s prayer journal and encouragement from Jeremy that goes beyond platitudes to a hard-won trust in God’s goodness. Whatever sorrow you are walking through, #butGod leads you to the sweetness found in trusting God with suffering…and the deeper faith that comes from seeing His purpose in the pain.

In this second part of a two-part interview with Phil Ling, we hear the practical things that Legacy Dads can do to glorify the kingdom of God. Too often we are told "time, talents, treasures" with no real advice on how to use them to glorify God's kingdom. Phil lays it down and puts it all in perspective so that we can make that happen. Listen in and let it marinate so that you can use your time, talents, and treasures to bring glory to God!
