Legacy Dads with Dave and Dante

In this second part of a five-part series on the stages of discipleship, Dave and Dante talk about the neediest stage of them all: spiritual infancy. Listen in for characteristics that are associated with new believers, and learn who and what is important for them to continue on their spiritual growth journey! Tune in for part 3, spiritual childhood, in the next episode.

In this first of a five-part series on discipleship, Dave and Dante discuss the first stage: spiritually dead. Ephesians 2 talks about how we were dead in our transgressions and sins before we made the choice to pursue a relationship with Jesus. Oftentimes, as Christians, it is hard for us to determine how to love those who are in those circumstances in which we once were. Listen in as the guys talk about characteristics of spiritually dead neighbors, and more importantly, how to show them the love of Jesus. The goal: help them to realize the life they can have when they turn towards Jesus.

In this second part of the discussion of idols, Dave and Dante get a little personal in talking about the things that are occupying the space where God should be. Whether it is money or status or image or relationships or possessions, no matter what it is...it must take a back seat to God's presence in our lives. Listen in for some scripture to help as we determine how to keep God at the top!

In this first of a two-part episode, Dave and Dante discuss the dangers of idols. In biblical times, idols took many shapes and forms…today is no different. Whether you idolize money, or things, or image, or relationships, the end result is always the same: the wrath of God. He is a selfish and jealous God, and being the Creator, well, He has every right to be so. And because of that, He doesn’t take too well to sharing our devotion. Listen to this first episode and hear how the guys work through what idolization looks like today - and why it can ruin your legacy!

In this episode, Dave and Dante talk through what it looks like to get out of the rut. Sometimes life gets busy and our priorities get out of order. If your relationship with your wife is under-prioritized, you'll find yourself in a rut of some sort. The guys talk about some practical things to do to get out of the rut, get out of pit lane, and get back into the race!

We are blessed to welcome Dr. John Sowers onto the podcast to discuss his new book (release February 1, 2022) titled "Say All the Unspoken Things: A Book of Letters." In 2020, John started writing letters to his daughters after feeling an urgency to share his full heart with them, and to make sure he knew that he loved them, and to pass along the wisdom that he'd been given by others. John gives us more insight to the book so that Legacy Dads can continue to make an impact on their kids' lives.

What category would you say your kids fall into: biblical scholar, moderate Christian, or secular? Chances are they fall into secular. Surprised? Why? If we are sending our kids to Caesar for education, we shouldn't be surprised when they come home acting and thinking like Romans. In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the importance of understanding the educational system, and whether to consider alternatives when the system starts to trend more secular in all aspects. Listen in and let us know your thoughts! Even the Legacy Dads are considering turning their backs on Caesar! Et tu, Legacy Dads!

In this episode, we meet up with Paul from Dryvn Nutrition and The Caffeinated Dads. In order to leave a lasting legacy, one of the most important things to do is properly fuel our bodies. Paul is a nutrition coach and provides a wealth of information about the fundamentals of nutrition and physical fitness, and why that is helpful for men, husbands, fathers, women, wives, and mothers, at all stages of life!

In this episode, Dave and Dante go back to the basics: what does it mean to be a Legacy Dad? When we look at the spiritual warfare that our kids will face, how do we protect them, and how do we prepare them? How do we use our marriage as a weapon against the spiritual attacks? While new year’s resolutions may come and go, by making changes that turn into habits have a lasting impact…and no doubt, one that solidifies your legacy. Looking forward to engaging with you in this new calendar year!

From our families to yours, we want to say Merry Christmas! Thank you for your support and encouragement as we wrap up 2021. We are looking forward to what 2022 has in store, and continue to feel blessed to serve men, husbands, and fathers at all stages of life. In this episode we talk about some Christmas traditions and bring the real reason for Christmas into the conversation: because of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God bless you all!!
