Legacy-dads Podcast

Are you blessed, or are you wicked? If you look at Psalm 1, you're one or the other, and there isn't any middle ground. When it comes to leaving a lasting legacy, men must do the things that lead to a life that is blessed and righteous. Listen in as Dave and Dante discuss this psalm and talk through ways to bring it into our lives so that we stay on the narrow path towards eternal life with Jesus.

What's your testimony? Have you shared it with anybody? If not, why not? And if so, how'd it go? In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the power of personal testimony - reporting to others how God has rescued you from the grip of sin and death and restored you to a life of eternity in heaven with Him. Sharing a testimony often involves vulnerability, but through vulnerability we create community. And when we have community, we are able to move into any mission before us and execute! Using biblical foundations, the guys talk about the power of testimony and encourage you to consider sharing yours with those around you. Share what God has done in your life...and see how it may inspire others to do just the same! Legacy Dads is proud to be partnered with the Christian Parenting Network of Podcasts.

Legacy Dads had the pleasure welcome United States Senator Josh Hawley to discuss his new book "Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs." Senator Hawley argues that the character of men, and the male virtue that goes along with it, is a necessary ingredient to a functioning society and a healthy, free republic. A free society that despises manhood will not remain free. No republic has ever survived without men of character to defend what is just and true. Starting with the wisdom of the ancients, from the Greek and Roman philosophers to Jesus of Nazareth, and drawing on the lessons of American history, Hawley identifies the defining strengths of men, including responsibility, bravery, fidelity, and leadership. Josh Hawley is a New York Times best-selling author, constitutional lawyer, and U.S. Senator for the state of Missouri. One of the most recognized political figures in America, Josh was elected in 2018 as the youngest Senator in the country. He is well known for his battles against Big Tech and in

Dante had the pleasure to sit down with Sean Patrick Flanery who recently starred in "Nefarious," playing a condemned death-row inmate with a demonic possession. Sean is also known for his roles in Boondock Saints (original and #2) and multiple other screen roles. He is also an author ("Jane 2") and a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Of highest importance, however, is his role as husband to Lauren and dad to Lola, Porter, and Charlie.  Listen in to this no-holds-barred conversation, as they discuss the movie "Nefarious," topics like abortion and public school, the importance of self-defense, and being a "seed" for the kingdom as opposed to being a "germ." Sean doesn't pull any punches and sets an excellent example for men who are looking for ways to thrive in their masculinity.

One of the most common conditions men deal with today is anxiety. Studies show that men and women handle anxiety differently - from how they react to it to how they try to deal with it. In this episode, Dave and Dante discuss the topic of anxiety and the need for men to fix themselves first before trying to go out and fish for other men. We don't need to have everything right, but if anxiety is hampering your spirit, then it's important to fill your cup first before trying to pour into others.

There are some topics that we could talk about over and over and over. This is one of them. The world wants us to be prideful - whether it's because of our personal or professional accomplishments, or on social media, or whatever else...if we aren't touting ourselves, then we are weird. Well, be proud to be weird, then. Because humility is weird. All throughout the bible, we read of the importance of humility in the Christian life, and it is absolutely applicable to men in all stages of life. When we live with arrogance, everything we do is all about "look at me." But when we live with humility (and confidence), everything is about "look at you!" We should constantly strive to not keep the attention on ourselves, but focused on others (discipleship and evangelism) and on the power, love, grace, and mercy of Jesus.

In this episode, the guys start the conversation on what it looks like for a Legacy Dad to have financial freedom. "Leaving a legacy" means a lot, and it is important for men and fathers in all stages of life to ensure they are setting not only themselves, but also their families - and future generations - with financial blessings rather than burdens.
