Legacy Dads with Dave and Dante

In this episode, we were happy to sit down with Dr. Tim Kimmel and Michael Tooker to discuss their new book "Grace at Work: The Secret to Getting More from Your Job Than a Paycheck." Dr. Tim Kimmel, Founder and Executive Director of Grace Based Families, has created resources for families and churches across the globe that reform and restore through grace. In the new book "Grace at Work," Kimmel partnered with co-author Michael Tooker to educate and inspire workers so they can apply grace-based lessons where they spend most of their time—at work.

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. Listen in to hear his perspective on all these things and more, and go get his book today!!

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!

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Gary Thomas, who's new book "Making Your Marriage A Fortress" comes out on October 4th 2022.

In this two-part interview, we sat down with Phil Ling from The Giving Leader podcast. Phil has worked with churches and ministries of all sizes in order to help them grow in and for the Kingdom of God. Phil doesn't hold back and gives a lot of advice for how the "big C" Church can stay in the fight in a post-COVID era, but also how churches, men, and women can ensure they are doing the things they are able to do in order to bring God the glory He deserves.

We were honored to welcome Lauren Chandler onto the podcast to discuss her new book "Praise Him." In this beautifully illustrated board book, Lauren’s lyrical lines encourage us that in the day or in the night, wherever we go, we can praise God continually. From page to page, follow a child through her day as she goes from sunny morning to stormy afternoon and then shadowy night. Be reminded that God is always there with us, even when days are hard, and that we need only simple words to praise Him.

In this episode, we welcome Michael, aka the Honest Youth Pastor. This is the final part of a three-part series on biblical masculinity. We talked through biblical masculinity and why it is important for Christian men to keep striving to be more like the man that Jesus was while he was on earth. What are the fruits of biblical masculinity, and how can you differentiate between "toxic" and "biblical" masculinity? Do you have role models for how to be a Christian man? These are just a few topics covered during the conversation. We hope you enjoy! Don't forget to see parts 1 and 2 for more valuable information on how to stay in the fight as a Christian man!
