Legacy Dads with Dave and Dante

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!!

We have goals in 2022, and we want you to join in! In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the books that are planned for the year. From raising children, to leading families, to becoming a better Christian, these books will help all of us become the men, husbands, and fathers that God has called us to be. Hope you're able to join in and read a book or two or eight!

Continuing the "God in Action" series, we hear the story of Brandon from Camp Royal. After the loss of his Dad while he was a young boy, Brandon spent a lot of time trying to find his identity. It wasn't until God reminded him (multiple times, really) to trust his real Father that Brandon found his identity in Christ. Listen to this inspiring story of how God worked, and continues to work, in his life! (For more about Brandon's ministry, see our episode "Camp Royal - Where Action Sports and Identity in Christ Collide", season 6 episode 11).

As Christians, we are told to expect suffering. But what does that look like? In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss scripture and how it not only tells us to expect suffering, but ways in which we can persevere through it...with the ultimate goal of giving God the glory that He deserves. If you're struggling now (whether through circumstances or choices), we pray this episode opens your eyes to the light in the darkness. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness shall not overcome it." (John 1:5).

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). These words from Paul to the church in Thessalonica are the framework Dave and Dante use to discuss what Thanksgiving should look like for a Christian and Legacy Dad. A proper focus of gratefulness is aligned towards God - for He is good, and His love endures forever, and His faithfulness continues through all generations (adapted from Psalm 100). Happy Thanksgiving!

In this episode, we talk with Brandon Heidemann, the founder of Camp Royal - a ministry where action sports and faith in Jesus collide! We get to hear about the start of the ministry, through the good and the bad, and hear how God continued to use Brandon in ways he never would have imagined. Listen in to this episode and hear what happens when we stop worrying about our ability, and trust God with our availability.
