    Ivy Insights

    The Family Goals with David Pollack and Pastor J podcast is an absolute gem for single parents like me. As a single mom, I have found immense value in having my son listen to the conversations between David and Pastor J during our car rides. There are certain lessons that I have tried to instill in my son repeatedly, such as the importance of choosing friends wisely and understanding that attitude and effort matter more than victory. However, when he hears these messages reiterated in the podcast, he seems to perk up and it leaves a bigger impression on him than just me telling him. The episodes are not only funny but also provide valuable biblical advice, making them authentic and relatable.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the perspective offered by Pastor J and Davie. They emphasize the need for all brothers and sisters in Christ to work together in raising our children as God intended. This perspective is truly refreshing and reminds us that we are not alone in this journey of parenthood. Additionally, the advice given throughout the podcast is godly, doctrinally sound, and delivered in a way that doesn't feel condescending or "preachy". Unlike some other Christian podcasts, Family Goals leaves me feeling seen and inspired rather than burdened with heaviness.

    Another aspect that sets this podcast apart is the authenticity of Davey and Pastor J. They simply be themselves throughout each episode, creating an atmosphere that feels genuine and honest. I usually listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed, but with Family Goals, I intentionally slowed it down because I wanted to catch all the details, especially their hilarious stories! However, one downside is that I wish each episode was a bit longer so that we could dive deeper into various topics. It would also be wonderful to hear more conversations centered around marriage.

    In conclusion, The Family Goals with David Pollack and Pastor J podcast is an absolute delight to listen to. It blends practical parenting advice with clever wit, self-deprecating humor, and spiritual guidance. It made me laugh out loud while also giving me pause to consider my own parenting style. The hosts and producers have done an excellent job in creating a unique vibe and conversational style that sets this podcast apart from others in the same genre. I am eagerly looking forward to future content and highly recommend this podcast to all parents.
