We all know how important the church is in shaping a kid's faith — it's where foundations are built and seeds of belief take root. But let's be honest: sometimes our kids just aren't excited about going to church. It can start to feel more like a “have to” than a “get to.”In this episode, we sit down with Aaron Collier to talk about practical ways to help kids actually look forward to church. A father of two with over 14 years of experience in kids and camp ministry, Aaron shares wisdom and encouragement to help families make church a place their kids love to be.--Question of the Week: What are some of your favorite parts of going to church?--Hosts: Amy Lowe & Sara JonesGuests: Aaron CollierProducers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun--Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!Instagram: @WinShapeCampsTikTok: @WinShapeCampsFacebook: @WinShapeCamps Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hey everyone… special drop today: the inaugural episode of Matthew's new side project, Antifascist Dad Podcast.  Matthew sits down with songwriter Nathan Evans Fox to talk about kinship, Appalachia, and the viral hymn that's resonating across communities. Nathan shares the roots of his concept of yallidarity—solidarity rooted in labor, joy, food, music, and taking care of one another. They discuss the myths and realities of Appalachia, the erasure of labor history, and the dangers of “bootstrap” individualism. Nathan tells about his upbringing in fringe charismatic churches, the connections between charismatic Christianity and Trump-style politics, and how faith traditions can nurture resilience—or be co-opted by empire. They dig into Nathan's viral “Hillbilly Hymn”: why the cops disappear when Jesus returns, why kinship always beats bootstraps, and how to imagine an abolitionist future that doesn't erase culture but reorients it toward joy, justice, and care.All theme music by the amazing www.kalliemarie.com.

Listen now: Spotify, Apple and YouTubeThink a “portfolio career” makes family life chaotic? Ben argues the opposite.In this special episode of Supra Insider, Ben shares a more personal side of his journey in a conversation originally recorded on the Startup Dad podcast with Adam Fishman.From raising his daughter Gaia (with help from George, the family's golden retriever) to navigating solo parenting in New York without nearby family, Ben opens up about the joys and challenges of fatherhood.

In this episode, Brian Doyle shares what it was like to parent through the unimaginable. After losing his wife to cancer at age 54, Brian had to navigate his own grief while guiding his teenage and young adult kids through theirs. His story will challenge you to keep your eyes on the future, disciple your kids with purpose, and take initiative to invest in the dads around you.   TAKEAWAYS: Instead of avoiding grief, learn to walk through it in a healthy way so your sorrow can eventually lead to joy. If you want your kids to follow Christ, you have to show them what that looks like in your everyday life. You're not raising kids; you're launching disciples. No one else can do what God designed you as a man to do. The time you invest in younger dads today can equip them for the challenges they'll face decades from now.   GUEST Brian Doyle is the Founder and President of Iron Sharpens Iron and serves as the National Director of the ISI Ministry Network. The mission of Iron Sharpens Iron is to equip churches to train men for spiritual leadership in the home, church and community.  #DadAwesome #christiandad #dadlife #parenting #dadpodcast #fatherhood   Links mentioned:  Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Apply to join the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort: Email awesome@dadawesome.org   Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word “Dad” to (651) 370-8618 Iron Sharpens Iron
