FourFathers Podcast

We wanted to take a moment to share some bittersweet news with you. After much consideration, we have decided to put our podcast on pause after 100 shows. We understand this may be disappointing news, especially to our loyal listeners who have been with us from the beginning. We want to express our deepest gratitude to all of you who have supported us throughout this journey. Your loyalty and dedication truly mean the world to us, and we are humbled by your support. We also want to extend our sincerest apologies to those who recently discovered our podcast and were hoping for more content. Please know that this decision was not an easy one, but we believe it is the best course of action for us at this time. We hope that you can understand and appreciate the time and effort we have put into each and every episode.  Once again, thank you for your unwavering support. We hope to be back with more exciting content in the future. Your loyalty and dedication truly mean the world to us, and we are humbled by your loyalty and dedication. We hope that you can understand and appreciate the time and effort we have put into each 

Today is the official Mic Check Day (12/12) and we are up to our usual antics with the four fathers. We have been busy with the holidays and work, making it difficult for us to get together. However, we finally managed to find some time to record.

Well another episode of the four fathers is out. This time things are different. Why are they? Were not sure. 

We have all come together to witness some special events. Recently, Erik attended a concert and felt that the "message" lacked any "spiritual" context. This led to a discussion about how Adam disregards the strong dislike for the Old Testament - just kidding, it's actually Pfeif who can't stand Taylor Swift.Confused? So are we....  

In this episode, Eric accidentally hit record and we discuss the origins of barn doors, Eric the Viking, and ninjas.

We've decided to change up the show once again. We've noticed that some of our listeners weren't getting the full experience of the fun we have before we start recording. So, we're experimenting with a more organic format to mix things up a bit.

As summer draws to a close, children are returning to school. However, four fathers reminisce about their childhood toys and possessions, discussing those that they may have lost or been replaced. They speak of their nostalgia with great enthusiasm.

Romanek is a Seventh Level Wizard... We've been all busy doing things. So we decided it was time to share some that with you guys.Erik shares how he will be leading a church as a senior pastor, Paul is taking on additional roles as a Elder. Adam has been playing more in his church and well Pfeif is off playing with the internet... 

After a long vacation, time seems to have flown by and we're now back to reality. It seems that both of us are taking some time to adjust and have forgotten where we left off. Nonetheless, we appreciate your patience as we get back on track. Looking forward to bringing you more 4 Fathers Podcast!

Father's Day Trivia. Since it's a podcast focused on fatherhood, one might assume that the hosts are experts on being a dad. However, as expected, chaos ensues and the dads go off on tangents as usual

Let's delve into a more contemplative topic and ponder what our action figure would look like. However, it's unlikely that it would be very marketable. 

With summer approaching, it's important to begin considering vacation plans. When it comes to family trips, conflicting opinions and emotions are common. There is always a variety of opinions regarding where to go, what activities to do, and even what foods to try.The 4 Fathers talk a bit about what it takes to make compromises and help make it a memorable one. 

If you have been attending church for a while, worship would have become a topic of discussion. In this segment, the Four Fathers delve deeper into their initial encounters with worship and how those experiences have influenced their present-day perceptions.If you want to contribute to our show, you can always use our “buy us a coffee” or visit our merch store. You can join our discord server anytime and be part of the after-chat! 

Have you ever considered what the future of AI holds? As new AI Engines like ChatGTP emerge, it's easy to become fixated on the potential benefits of machine intelligence for our daily lives and the world at large. However, what happens if these "computer overlords" decide to take control and designate humans as mere "battery sources"?  See whether we bow to them or rise against the machines!

It's time to wrap up the discussion on conflict resolution and fighting. After tallying all the votes, the topic we will be debating is whether the traditional college route is superior to on-the-job training.If you want to contribute to our show, you can always use our “buy us a coffee” or visit our merch store. You can join our discord server anytime and be part of the after-chat! 

The four dads take a break and bring back 20 Random Questions to ask each other. You can guess that none of the dads are in any great shape to provide some “valuable” feedback. Paul - the moderator and host, then has the show turned back on him, and he's forced to answer some of his own medicine. If you want to contribute to our show, you can always use our “buy us a coffee” or visit our merch store. You can join our discord server anytime and be part of the after-chat! 

So we are all planning to wrap up our series on “fights.” But once again, Pfeif has to take it off the rails. Before we started recording, we were talking about Pfeif's experience with him visiting churches. Some of that conversation continued to the point we just decided to hit record for the show and see where it went. If you want to contribute to our show, you can always use our “buy us a coffee” or visit our merch store. You can join our discord server anytime and be part of the after-chat! 

Ever heard about the “Jesus People”? Or how about the “Toronto Blessing”? Well, it seems God is moving again to Asbury University in Kentucky.

We continue our series on conflict resolution. We use this session to lay the ground rules to establish how we balance the topics of “private vs. public.” So to round out this conversation, we decided to make this a bit more natural and create a live argument. We will put our topics to a vote and see what you guys want us to argue! Place your Vote hereIf you want to contribute to our show, you can always use our “buy us a coffee” or visit our merch store. You can join our discord server anytime and be part of the after-chat! 

We continue the series on relationships and fighting and dive into fights.Whether it's money, sex, relationships, or hobbies/activities, we all have ideas about how life should be in those relationships.  Often, selfish motivations or personal desires get us “fired up” at our significant other. This leads us to the idea of how we deal with it. How does that align with your goals, and how do you help compromise for common ground?

Ever feel like that when you are in a conversation either at the office, personal or family life that you play one or the other role of a peacemaker/keeper?

Ever played the "telephone game?" We all decided that instead of just talking about prayer, we'd let one of the 4 Fathers - Adam, interject and feed us lines that we needed to incorporate into the discussion. Is this episode going to be out of the ordinary or just par for the course?

The Four Dads try to work through what they have coming up in 2023. Whatever the new year rings in, we all seem to think there will be many positive changes in our families, work, and personal lives.

The guys take on the topic of asking for help. As men, you are sometimes taught that you need to figure things out independently.

We all have a routine; whether you live by your calendar or throw a dart at a dart board, we have systems that keep our lives in order. But as we all get older, your routines become more about building good “habits” that help reach goals around your health, professional career, family life, or hobbies vs. just trying to make the mighty dollar.  Join in with the 4 Fathers as we share more about what those “habits” look like and share advice on how we navigate them as we grow older. If you want to contribute to our show, you can always use our “buy us a coffee” or visit our merch store. You can join our discord server anytime and be part of the after-chat!
