Legacy Dads with Dave and Dante

On this episode of the "God in Action" series, we hear the story of Safari. He's a refugee who's lived in many countries in sub-saharan Africa. More than that, he's a man who followed God's call for his life and is leading the work of spreading the gospel through his ministry efforts. If you want to get a ground-truth perspective of what the spread of Christianity in Africa looks like, you need to listen in. There is a call to action in this...are you able to step up and support? We'll get you connected!

This week we saw the story of a dad who took action, who got involved, and who implemented change...because he's a dad. Listen in for the inspiring story of a dad (and a bunch of his dad-buddies) who flipped the script when things were going down the wrong path. Want to learn how to implement change in your home, church, or community? Use these "Dads on Duty" as inspiration!

As Dave gets ready to welcome a new arrow to the quiver (Psalms 127:5), we thought it would be a great time to talk about ten things that new dads should know. A lighthearted look at the part of life that makes us Legacy Dads. Enjoy!

In this second part of the "God in Action" story of Beau and Rachel, we get to hear what happens when they both turned to God in their lives. What happens when a married couple stops listening to the world and completely submits to God? Listen in and hear how God uses two indivuduals who say "yes" to not only show His power, grace, and mercy, but then how He uses them to advance His kingdom and spread the gospel all around the world. This testimony is one that will leave you inspired!

Our "God in Action" series is a focus on hearing people's stories of God in their lives. We often look for "biblical miracles" only to miss some of the more intimate encounters between God and his children. We pray this series emboldens you to look for, listen to, and seek out God and his work in our lives. This is the story of Beau and Rachel. We were lucky enough to sit down with this couple and hear their story, but even more so, to see a husband and wife who only made it because of God and his work! Listen in to part one to hear their past, and tune in to part two to hear where God led them after they let go and let God!

In part two, Dave and Dante talk about dealing with a narcissist when that person isn't you! If you're married to, dating, a friend of, or a child of a person who is exhibiting narcissistic behaviors and traits (NOT diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder), how do you respond? What sort of path can you walk in order to continue to build your legacy? Listen in; we pray you learn something!

As a spiritual leader, husband, father, or man, it is easy to fall into the trap of narcissistic behaviors. The attention feels good, the notoriety feels good. But when that "feel good" turns into habits and patterns, we enter dangerous waters. In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss 14 traits of a spiritual narcissist and how that can impact a man internally. If it isn't stopped in its tracks, it can become a major contributor to problems in all areas of a man's life. Tune in to this series to hear how to deal with this slow-acting poison!

Joe's story continues, and we see where God has brought Joe to today. When we "let go and let God" our perspective changes...everything changes! Hear how Joe handles being a Christian saved by grace in his workplace, and hear some advice if you're in circumstances that seem overbearing and insurmountable. God gets the glory!!

To kick off season 6 of the Legacy Dads Podcast, we are starting with a powerful testimony. In this first half of Joe's testimony, we hear about his circumstances - where he was sinful in a sin-filled world - and how God started to work on Joe through others. Spoiler alert...it isn't Joe who gets him out of the life he was in...but it did involve Joe "letting go, and letting God." Tune in for season 6, episode 2, to hear the continuation of Joe's story and to see just how wonderfully God is able to make things happen for His glory!
