The Faithful Dads Podcast: Recent Episodes
Chris
Three mates, meeting up on a weekly basis to chat about their journeys of being dads and all that that entails!
Ok. So, there are no singing swans. Sorry to mislead you. However, maybe if you listen closely enough you'll hear my hearts song, and maybe this is where the mistaken hearing of a swan singing came from?
We are going to miss you! :)

Last episode of the season! WOOO WHOOOOO!!!
This one starts off a bit abruptly, but if you can just go with it you will hear that Josh and Chris are different. and Chris learns about Enneagrams.
We chat "Dad high. Dad low", apologising and whether we analyse our parenting or not? (Do you?).
Chris makes a 'shout-out' mistake right.
We then move on to talking about being fully present when you are present. Does the Bible say anything about that? And being a vulnerable parent and person in general.
Question: Why be present when we’re spending time with our kids
Answer: Cats in the Cradle
And to wrap things up - Are we going to be held accountable for how we look after our wives and children?
Thanks so much to everyone who has stuck around for the last 3 seasons! You are the best!
Keep your eyes peeled for season 4.....and now for something completely different!

Interesting...

So, in this episode, we’re back baby! (meeting together, face-to-face, that is).
We start off by doing 'shout-outs' to "all" of our fans. After which Chris asks the question "When did you cry last?" We chat about our Dad highs and Dad lows and how it's going being a dad.
We briefly talk about Ecclesiastes’ complications and what that means for being a dad and end by chatting about showing grace.
Always an interesting twistful and turning conversation, but you wouldn't expect anything less for Faithful Dads! ;)

Chitchat about hearing music that isn’t there, the Funniest punishment, how to say "my mistake", but in Spanish and are we three just one lingual? And tie it all together with a prayer.

We start off with a casual question, "What would you never eat again?" When then move into our normal conversation mode and chat about church community and what does it have to do with being a Faithful Dad? This then inevitably leads into talk about interesting thoughts on what church is now during COVID. “We can’t loose our salvation because of COVID” - Josh.
Is virtual churching (yes I used church as a verb), still ‘doing church’? Will Jarrod and Chris ever see eye to eye on this?? And what’s been hard for you to continue to meet?
The last thing we cover, before our abrupt ending is how do we still engage with church community when we’re not allowed to meet together? Tell me this, HOW?!

Well, because we ended up chatting for a wee bit after Roger left us, this one is a longer than usual side b.
Jarrods washing up playlist and his new favourite band, when do you stop putting your kids to bed, how tomorrow should be interesting, 'How to build a tower' with our very own Jarrod, what does Darwinism have to do with COVID and the prayer.
This episode starts off with chat about next door neighbour's thoughts on Faithful Dads.
We then move into the intro of our very first special guest, Rog. He talks about being a Christ restored Dad. He then goes on to talk about his 3 points - take your kids to church, apologise, you’ve got to listen (knowing your kids), trust God (and love their mother) and don’t take yourself too seriously (more than 3, right?! :O)
We talk a little about smacking and what he did with Toby?
We then hear about what it was like becoming a father without a father and how did the reality of death shape your fathering?
We are so blessed to have Roger as a pastor of our church and felt quite privileged to have had him as part of an episode of Faithful Dads. So, thanks Rog!

Do children give you a reason to not work over time? How should a good story actually start? What do you do with inherently sinful people? What does ‘steward’ mean? And is it a forever thing? Are stewarding and discipling the same thing?
Goodness! So many quality questions! It’s just a good conversation that includes stewardship of your child's heart and discipline.
Reader's Digest by Josh - “You always steward your child’s heart, it just looks different at different ages.”

Shorter one this time. I just like these little nuggets that don't quite fit in the main conversation but are too good to let go into the ether.

Anyone out there looking to try and put their finger on why they're feeling so weirded out by everything that's going on? Well, culture shock! That's all I'll say (as well as, see the link below).

This episode covers things like; what has health got to do with being a Faithful Dad? Even though Jarrod talks alot about NOT the answer to this question, he still gets us thinking. Part of Chris’ story that involves snow. :O Ooooooo chilling!
We then move on to what we do to look after our health? And we chat about discipline, again.
Lastly we talk through what we do when we feel like things are going pear shaped?
But before all of that we start off with complements for Josh and Taire and what bible moment would you like to’ve been part of?

We didn't want this content to be out dated by the time it came out so we thought we would release it parallel to Season 2. Bizarre times call for bizarre measures!
In this conversation we hear from Josh who doesn’t care about Corona then disses Chris' hand soap! :O! We then move on to talk about our work current work situation and what that's looking like. There is then some funeral chat.
Moving on from this we chat about how does one stay faithful during times like this? And wonder how the Christians during the Spanish Flu in 1918 may have handled it?
We talk about God taking away the things that we rely on. And whether it was Him or Satan that is behind all of this? (We'd love to hear your thoughts on this too!).
Capital punishment chat. And how this is or isn't going to change things for our kids and what should we be doing about it?
Josh then leaves us and we listener’s digest the whole thing!

Just a bit of an update on the initial introduction at the beginning. :) I just wanted to try and reframe what we were about. Since starting "Faithful Dads" I have gained a better understanding of what we're about and how people are consuming it. It has been REALLY exciting!
