A couple episodes ago we talked about treasure - and where we find it. This week, we continue along the same lines but shift the conversation to the proper view of relationship. What is our relationship with God? What about with our spouse? What about with our kids? When our relationship with God is askew, we can be sure that our relationships with others will follow suit. In this episode, listen to Dave and Dante discuss the importance of a “right relationship” and how it can impact our legacy. Care to support Dave in his upcoming mission support trip to Paraguay?

Treasure-hunting isn't just for pirates or kids acting like pirates. Instead, many of us find ourselves hunting treasure daily. What is the thing that makes us feel like we've attained a certain level of value? What are you hunting? In this episode, Dave and Dante sit down to talk about seeking treasure, and the one true place we can find it. When it comes to being a legacy dad, be sure to know where that treasure lies (it's literally in the Bible...so not much hunting is required), and lead your family to it as well. Let that legacy be built on a treasure that will never spoil! Legacy Dads is proud to be partnered with the Christian Parenting Network of podcasts.
