Preacher in the Hat

Is it time for a Dad Mode Manifesto? Let’s take a look at how we can move past the burnout and live Dad Mode sustainably.

Feeling burned out? Burnout doesn't just happen to parents. It happens to all of us. In this episode, we talk about what its like, how to combat it, and even graded our own current levels of burnout. Take the test and find out yours!

There are 3 things we can ALL--not just parents--relate to... We feel overwhelmed, we need wisdom, and we need community. No matter what stage of life we are in, we can be affected by these things. Let's talk about what Jesus has to say.

Do kids ask questions? Is water wet? Let's take a look at the hardest questions kids ask... and how we learn to love the--sometimes excessive--questions!

On the agenda:

The Top 5 Kids shows we wish we could delete forever

How to teach your kids to engage with entertainment thoughtfully

... and don't miss out on the call to the DADvice Hotline.

We wanted to set aside a time for a quick talk to say "Thank You" to all the fathers out there. We know Father's Day can be hit and miss for some people. It can also be downright painful for others. That's why we wanted to take this time to celebrate the ones who are doing it right.

The easy answer is Hebrews 10:24-25a, "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together." That's certainly enough reason to go, but sometimes it feels like there's more to it these days, for good or bad. 

The team debates 10 unwritten rules of church. Let's debate!

The team puts some "unwritten rules of Church" on trial. We tried not to push too many buttons, but no promises are made!

Can you sing a song written by someone you disagree with on theology? What if the song is inward focused? We try to tackle a couple tough questions.

Does my preference in worship matter? Should it ever affect my ability to engage? There are some hard questions on worship and we take a swing at a couple. #podcast

Our Stories of Transformation series continues with our next guest, Thomas Burke! From militant atheism to pastor, find out exactly where God was and is in Thomas' journey.

Stories of Transformation continues with another guest, Shawn Morrison! Our connection with Shawn goes really far back, before we even realized. We believe that every story points to Jesus, and that includes Shawn's!

Our Stories of Transformation series continues with our next guest, Michael Farley. We've only known Michael for less than a year, but that's plenty of time to know all the work that God has done. Michael shares his story freely and openly, and you won't want to miss it.

As promised, a guest! Meet our buddy Justin Castle. An infectious laugh, a heart for Jesus, and a story of how He reached down to pull Justin from his lowest place.

The team kicks off a new series called "Stories of Transformation" by sharing some of their own experiences and setting the table for future guests to do the same. Plus a brand new intro!

In follow up to our previous episode, Questions for Jesus, we talk about how to get specific with our questions. So much of it applies in our earthly relationships, too. If you didn't get a chance, catch up on the Questions for Jesus episode, or just jump right in here!

Have you ever wanted to ask Jesus a question face to face? Let's talk about asking Jesus what He thinks about what we're going through.
