Legacy Dads with Dave and Dante

We recently posted on the facebook page a question: what is keeping men from being the spiritual leaders that God has called them to be? We got some answers from some listeners and followers and decided to talk through it. Listen in as Dave and Dante discuss the principle of spiritual leadership and some of the challenges that we all face in our discipleship journey. Thanks for the interaction!!

Three days after the Dobbs' decision was released by the Supreme Court of the United States, Anderson and DeSanctis' book "Tearing Us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing" hit the shelves. In their book they describe the fact that there is hope in the ruins of Roe v. Wade. From the description, "Abortion hollows out marriage and the family. It undermines the rule of law and corrupts our political system. It turns healers into executioners and 'women's health' into a euphemism for extermination." If you are a Legacy Dad looking for ways to defend the pro-life / anti-abortion stance, this book is for you.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." That's what it says. It doesn't say "separation of church and state." It doesn't say that anywhere in the Constitution of the United States of America. So as a Legacy Dad, how do we correct those who use the common phrase to attack faith? How do we inform them that the founding fathers actually based a lot of foundation of the country on having a proper vertical relationship with God Almighty? Listen in as Dave and Dante discuss the topic in light of everything we are seeing happening in today's daily news cycle.

In this episode, Dave and Dante talk about the Monument to the Forefathers, found in Plymouth, Massachusetts. This monument is a testament to what the forefathers and pilgrims thought was fundamental to the founding of a nation: faith, liberty, morality, law, and education. If you ever get a chance, go visit the monument, and relish in the fact that the founders of our wonderful nation put faith at the top of the monument. God bless the United States of America.

In this episode, we are blessed to sit down with author Laura Smith and discuss her new book "Restore My Soul: The Power and Promise of 30 Psalms." The book of Psalms is full of wonderful passages that illuminate the intimate connection we get to have with our Father. Despite the chaos of our busy lives, the Father is frequently whispering to our souls to spend time with Him. As you read Restore My Soul: The Power and Promise of 30 Psalms you will receive revelation and insight from best-selling author Laura L. Smith on the beauty of connecting with God through His Word. Dive into the power of the Psalms and be inspired to praise God every day. Enjoy the interview as much as we did!

In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the Grid Iron Men's Conference (2022 edition), and the lessons-learned from going to an event like a big men's conference. The conversation transitions to the importance of men not only saying they're Christians and going to church, but living out their faith involved in men's ministry at both the local level and at events like Grid Iron. When a man is involved in men's ministry, the positive outcomes are proven and reliable. Stay in the fight, men!!

Want to talk about epidemics? Let's talk about the fatherless child epidemic. Just in time for Father's Day, Dave and Dante talk about the problems that are a result of children growing up without engaged and present fathers. Then they get into three action steps to change the legacy starting today: getting into a relationship with Jesus, being patient in the waiting and being grateful for what you have now, and continuing to strive forward for the prize in Christ Jesus. Listen in and take the advice if you need it, or pass it on to a Dad who does. We need to take action, and the day is today!

In this episode, we interview YouTube personality Stephen Miller to learn more behind author of "The Art of Getting It Wrong." Stephen opens up about his marriage, having kids, working through pregnancy loss, and what it is like to live with his wife and seven kids in a 42-foot camping trailer. The conversation is raw and engaging...God has truly been at work in this man's life, and he is using his platform to fulfill the Great Commission and build God's Kingdom. Listen in and enjoy!

In this episode, we are joined by some special guests to talk about military life, especially when it comes to that of the military spouse. Listen in and get some encouragement and inspiration. But most importantly, make today about those families who have carried the legacy of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our amazing nation.

We really need to get away from the "my truth" mentality. There is only one truth, and that is the truth of Jesus Christ. In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the importance of living in the "one truth" way of following Jesus, especially when we are inundated with societal and cultural issues which everybody seems to be arguing about. If you're struggling to discern the voices to listen to, turn to God's word, follow Jesus, and point others to the Father's grace and mercy!
