Legacy Dads with Dave and Dante

Don Ross is the founder of "Manhood Tribes," a ministry focused on creating groups of men who follow Jesus at every stage of life. Don started Manhood Tribes—to help men in challenging times because he believes men aren't meant to go through life disconnected from other men. He also believes that men are built to live in groups, or Tribes, but we've lost many of our reasons for doing so. Manhood Tribes is creating ways for men to reconnect with each other, starting with a father/son rite of passage experience called First Tribe. There will be more opportunities in the future, so be sure to listen in and connect with Don at Manhood Tribes today!

In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the importance of being able to show gratitude, even in the midst of extreme chaos around us. Recently Dave lost a friend to suicide, and you'll hear him talk through the raw emotion of the loss. While the episode was supposed to be about gratitude (it is, after all, the week of Thanksgiving), the conversation pivoted towards persevering through the storm, with the goal of being grateful for even the smallest things at the end of it all. If you are struggling with thoughts of suicide, please PLEASE visit 988 Lifeline Website or call/text 988 (National Suicide Prevention Hotline) immediately.

Statistics show that violent acts against places of worship are becoming more frequent. Unfortunately some people see churches as "soft targets" and look at them as a way to cause a massive amount of damage in a short amount of time. But what happens if a threat is met with a parishioner who is legally carrying their privately owned weapon? In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the idea of concealed-carry in churches. Is it legal? Is it biblical? What should we consider? Listen in and go do some research...it's an important topic, and proper prior preparation prevents poor performance! Protect the flock!
