Podcasts about dads

What matters is responding with kindness and love. What matters is knowing that they are good and that they are loved and nothing anyone else thinks can change that.

You might not be able to keep track of the time zone or the days anymore, but that's not an excuse for forgetting what's going on with them.

The Dads revisit the legendary haunted house classic Poltergeist, exploring why it remains one of the most iconic horror movies of all time. Directed by Tobe Hooper and produced by Steven Spielberg, Poltergeist blends family drama, groundbreaking practical effects, and unforgettable scares that still resonate—especially for parents.In this review, we break down the film's legacy, the Spielberg vs. Hooper authorship debate, standout moments, and how Poltergeist helped redefine suburban horror in the 1980s.Follow Dads From the Crypt!

Drift turns great fathers into weekend visitors, and it rarely happens in a courtroom. It happens quietly, in the decision gap—when pressure, fear of conflict, and “nice guy” habits push dads to give ground they never meant to lose. We unpack a clear, actionable roadmap for divorced dads to shed codependency, reclaim boundaries, and lead with grounded integrity that protects your time, your sanity, and your bond with your kids.We start by naming the pattern: conflict avoidance, overgiving for approval, and the resentment that follows. From there, we move through ten practical steps that change outcomes fast. You'll learn how to recognize your inherent worth, establish and communicate firm boundaries, and practice calm assertiveness without tipping into aggression. We dig into self-care as a non-negotiable performance edge, the daily work of challenging negative beliefs, and how small, consistent wins rebuild self-respect. Vulnerability takes center stage as a strength—opening the door to authentic connection with your kids, co-parent, and community.We also explore ownership of happiness: building a life that is not fueled by external validation, but by purpose, faith, and disciplined habits. Support matters, so we talk about finding the right circle—therapy, men's groups, or 12-step communities—that reflect your growth when you cannot see it. Finally, we ground the journey in authenticity and values. When your choices match what you stand for, you stop performing “nice” and start living kind, clear, and steady. That is the posture your children can trust and follow.If this resonates, share it with a dad who needs backup. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us the first boundary you'll set this week—your kids are counting on you. Being unprepared is how great fathers become weekend visitors.

It's our job as parents to remind our kids that they're not powerless, that no matter what's happening around them, they can create change in themselves and in their communities. In this episode, Sharon McMahon, author of The Small and the Mighty, joins Ryan to talk about how we instill real, grounded hope in our kids and help them see that making a difference isn't reserved for someone else.

Life coach and personal shopper Cathy O' Connor tells Brendan about the new stars of your wardrobe for spring, including the quarter zip jumper, and balloon jeans, and why regardless of what's on the catwalk, you never need to stop wearing clothes you love.

There are consequences to our decisions, the decision to work too much, to check out of a marriage, to not deal with our issues. The problem is that we fool ourselves believing that we can live with those consequences.

Your marriage should tell the story of the gospel — but irritation and busyness often drag it off course, especially once you have kids. The panel talks about practical ways to cultivate friendship and affection with your wife (both physically and emotionally)…fostering oneness and guarding intimacy…and maintaining margin for each other without neglecting work and children.

No one has ever looked back as their kids grew up or at the end of their own life and thought, “Perfect attendance was worth it.”

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're getting ready to BABYMOON. If you're watching this, we're on the beach right now (yay) trying to figure out what you even call a babymoon for baby number two (because “babymoon” feels… aggressive). Sprinkle? Second moon? TBD. Either way, we recorded this episode right before heading out and immediately spiraled. We start with trip planning debates, pregnancy food rules (can you eat beef carpaccio while pregnant?), and the age-old question of what actually matters more at a restaurant: the food or the vibe.  Then we get into the big one: failing the one-hour glucose test. What it means, what it doesn't, what comes next, and why it's way less dramatic than it sounds but still mentally jarring when you get the call. From there, we talk about ear piercing timing, leg shaving & making the bed. Mid-episode we cover Valentine's Day, the jewelry-box-at-dinner move, whether we regret buying so much pink before having a boy, and the very real struggle of finding a nickname for baby boy that YOU GUYS like. Travel etiquette becomes a full debate (as always): reclining seats, switching seats for families, and whether you're ever obligated to move on a plane. We also get into babysitter etiquette (if you say “help yourself to anything,” do you actually mean anything?), and then unpack the viral Girl Scout story where one girl sold $450k worth of cookies… and where that money really goes. We wrap with a Bicker of the Week, two Things We DMed Each Other (Olympics + Waymo obv), and a parenting takeaway that stuck with us all week: tell kids what TO do, not just what NOT to do. LOVE YOU GUYS. Thanks for listening!!!  Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:04:50 Is there a better name for the second babymoon? 00:07:45 Can you eat beef carpaccio while pregnant? 00:12:42 What matters more: the food or the vibe? 00:15:32 What's the best made-in-Canada company?! 00:18:18 Dads' night out 00:19:48 Failed glucose test… now what? 00:27:58 When should kids get their ears pierced? 00:31:22 Fine dining: worth it or overrated? 00:34:33 Asking parents with grown kids: what would you do differently? 00:36:47 The jewelry box at dinner move 00:38:42 Do we regret buying so much pink before having a boy? 00:42:30 We need a new nickname for baby boy 00:43:51 Airplane etiquette: is it okay to recline? 00:47:37 Seat switching on planes: are you obligated to move for families? 00:55:17 Babysitter etiquette: if you say “help yourself to anything,” do you ACTUALLY mean anything? 00:59:48 Girl Scout goes viral for selling $450k worth of cookies… BUT where does the money actually go? 01:04:18 BICKER OF THE WEEK: Is it OK to eat on the couch?! 01:08:24 THINGS WE DME EACHOTHER: Norway is dominating the Olympics (and their youth sports rules are the opposite of ours) 01:13:25 THINGS WE DME EACHOTHER: DoorDash drivers are getting paid to close Waymo doors?? 01:16:09 THIS WEEK WE EARNED: tell kids what TO do (not what NOT to do) 01:17:37 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod --- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Merit: Right now, Merit Beauty is offering our listeners their Signature Makeup Bag with your first order at https://www.meritbeauty.com *Edmunds: Checking your car's value is an easy win to cross off your to do list.

Send a textWhat if leading at home wasn't about fixing every problem, but about showing up with curiosity, clear standards, and follow-through you can keep? We sit down with Thomas Miller—therapist, coach, and host of the Four Peaks Parent podcast—to explore how dads can guide teens through injury, identity shifts, and big feelings without swinging to extremes.Thomas shares the hard-won lessons that shaped his approach: art school beginnings, building programs for LGBTQ youth, and running a wilderness therapy team responsible for 62 high‑risk teens. Layer in profound personal loss and years of clinical work, and you get a grounded, no-nonsense playbook for family leadership. We unpack why “Do it right, do it once” is more than a motto, how to transform rehab into purpose, and why small, consistent wins beat grand speeches every time.We get practical about mental health. Instead of chasing labels, Thomas returns to ADLs—sleep, movement, hygiene, purposeful work, connection—and Freud's simple barometer: work, love, play, and laughter. He maps the two pitfalls he sees most often: parents who minimize obvious issues until a child “gets sicker” to be seen, and parents who pathologize every wobble. The middle path uses clear assessment, heart-centered language, and boundaries you'll actually enforce. You'll also hear how couples' communication styles—head-on versus avoidant—leak into parenting, and what it takes to co-write a healthier family culture.If you're a dad juggling a demanding job, teen sports, and rising anxiety at home, this conversation hands you a framework: lead with curiosity, set standards you model, and let kids own outcomes. Less rescuing, more guiding. Less reacting, more discernment. Subscribe, share with a dad who needs it, and leave a review with the one standard you're committing to this week.Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts! Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

#DadsOfTikTok #Fatherhood #DadLife #ChristianDad #BiblicalFatherhood #RaisingKids #FamilyLeadership #FaithBasedParenting #MensHealing #MenNeedMentors #BeTheMan #PersonalGrowth #MenOfFaith #SpiritualGrowth #HealingForMen #MentorshipMattersHey friends, Joe Barlow here. Welcome back to the Dads & Fathers Podcast — this is day number nine.If you've been tracking with me, you already know this isn't just a casual conversation about parenting tips. This is about identity. It's about calling. It's about becoming the man God created you to be.Today we're asking a bold question:Why should you become a dad?Not just biologically. Not just culturally. But spiritually. Purposefully. Intentionally.There is something inside of you that has not yet been tested. There is greatness in you that has not yet been revealed. And fatherhood has a way of drawing that greatness out.God said about Abraham, “I know him.”He chose Abraham not just because he would have children — but because he would lead them. Because he would command his household. Because he would multiply righteousness in the earth.That's not just Abraham's story.That's an invitation.What kind of man are you becoming?What is in you that deserves to be multiplied?If God were looking across a line of men, would He say, “I want more like him”?Today we're talking about leadership with love. Strength with softness. Authority without harshness. And the holy responsibility of multiplying what God has placed inside you.This one may challenge you.But if you're willing, it could change you.Let's get into it.Partner:This podcast is paid for by my partners.

If you feel like you're drowning right now… this one's for you.Trying to follow Jesus with integrity.Trying to love your wife well.Trying to disciple your kids.Trying to provide and carry the weight of responsibility.That's four heavy bags already.And then the world keeps asking for more.More opinions.More commitments.More distractions.More “opportunities.”In today's episode, we talk about why it's okay to say, “My hands are full.”Why you don't have to carry every bag handed to you.And why saying no might be one of the most faithful things you do.Strong families begin with healed men.Sometimes healing looks like limits.

The stats of anxiety, depression, and stress on Gen Z (ages 14-28) are scary and higher than ever before. That's not hyperbole. What have been the cultural, familial, and individual influences at work, and what can parents of Gen Alpha (ages 0-13) learn from where we find ourselves? We believe that parents hold the keys to influencing the next generation. And there is much more hope than might appear at the surface. But the way through is by first addressing what may be our greatest adversary: Our own parental fears. In this episode, we ask the question, “Why are we doing what we're doing as families?” We address issues like the self-fulfilling prophecy, the role of epigenetics in child outcomes, and the spiritual laws that influence our decisions. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:03 Christi and Josh introduce a NEW season5:40 The mental health of Gen Z9:57 Parenting and mental health16:20 The effects of the decisions we make as parents and addressing parental fears25:30 Spiritual laws that influence our parenting31:00 Running into our fears and the hope of being a parent today35:25 Conscious and unconscious choices we make as parents40:00 How fear-based narratives influence our parenting44:34 What is God's role in how you parent? Show Notes:Ladies, sign up here for Spring Tender & Fierce Cohort! https://www.famousathome.com/tenderandfierce Interested in our Spring Love Your Marriage Cohort?

Judson enjoys his first planned hookup of 2026 and realizes he may be becoming demisexual. Brian explores his newfound versatility and finds much personal satisfaction. The Hookup of the Week tells the story of an encounter that is both very hot and very wet, and leads to Judson teaching Brian a piece of sexual vocabulary. They are then joined by fashion designer and sometime Son to Judson's Daddy, Timothy Westbrook. After sharing behind-the-scenes secrets of his time on the 12th season of “Project Runway,” Timothy discusses his mission to design from a place without shame and how it inspires his very special collection, TL Brooke Bridal. He provides his unique perspective on rituals and ceremonies, and talks about how he works with clients of all gender expressions to create pieces that personify and celebrate their entire being. Timothy then reveals how he found his way to Dads and Daddies through a hookup story Judson shared on the pod three months ago, and dives deep into the fulfillment he finds in blindfolding himself during sex, his talent for being a good boy, how he protects himself when hooking up with strangers and his aspirations to a porn career. He also talks about his experience living life as a sexual person with a stoma and ostomy bag after his large intestine was removed due to ulcerative colitis. In closing, Timothy joins Brian and Judson in responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who is confused and frustrated about an abusive hookup he suffered that returns to his thoughts when he's masturbating.

Why do we tell our kids stories? Why do we tell them about history? Teach them about George Washington, Martin Luther King, Cinncinatus, Florence Nightingale, Jesus, Marcus Aurelius? Because it matters.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're answering YOUR questions - but fair warning: we had a lot to say (40 mins worth) before we got there. In our defense: shampoo recs, steak temperatures, and daddy/daughter dances felt important at the time (LOL).  OK SO FIRST… We talk about 5AM toddler mornings (is this a phase?!), using ChatGPT to survive your inbox, and the very unexpected realization that if you have a nut allergy… you might want to check your shampoo ingredients. We also debate 2-in-1 shampoo (dealbreaker or fine?), and Harrison pitches his “best worst idea of the week”: Tinder… but for streaming services. From there, we get into pregnancy things no one warns you about - including dental issues during pregnancy (are dentists still running the biggest scam in America?! IYKYK) - and why dads showing up to “mommy & me” classes might actually be one of our favorite cultural shifts. We talk daddy/daughter dances, the #1 toddler birthday party idea that parents will actually enjoy, and why themed dinner parties deserve a comeback. Then we spiral into food takes (you can't order burgers medium-rare in Canada?!), whether sending food back is ever worth it, and finally dive into your Q&A questions: should a new baby bring a “gift” for their sibling, what really matters when choosing an OBGYN, what to prepare for before labor, and what actually belongs in a hospital bag - including the one item I would never, ever skip. We also talk about what we're most excited for with a baby boy, whether there's a “best” season to be pregnant, and if we're planning to open investment accounts for the kids. We wrap with a comment section debate that got people fired up (apparently ppl are really pro-spanking???) and a Bicker of the Week about wearing your partner's clothes before they do (which OF COURSE is fine IF they are pregnant lol).  LOVE YOU GUYS.

The Dads take on “Dance of the Dead,” one of the most infamous episodes of Masters of Horror. Directed by Tobe Hooper and starring Robert Englund, this bleak, post-apocalyptic story uses the undead for twisted entertainment.Follow Dads From the Crypt!

Hi! Today, Jake and Brooke discuss one of Dobson's very first films "What Dads Need to Know About Fatherhood", a movie that is truly... nothing. At least we will always have Cats in the Cradle, I suppose. This is a silly one, readers.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetterLicense code: 9OT2MTBHWWSRZP5S Hosted on Acast.

The custody battle isn't decided by a gavel—it's decided in the quiet hours between court dates. We break down the decision gap, the stretch of weeks where messages, handoffs, and “temporary” deals stack into the patterns a judge will actually see. If you've ever fired off a heated text, argued on a porch during pickup, or let a holiday slide without a makeup day, you've felt the drift: the slow erosion of paternal authority that turns well‑meaning compromises into a new status quo.We pull back the curtain on how family court rewards preparation, pattern, and restraint—not sentiment—and show you how to build a defensible record of being the steady parent. You'll hear a composite case of “Mark,” a devoted dad who moved out to “lower the temperature” and months later faced an attorney arguing his limited time proved lack of involvement. From there, we walk through practical tools: BIFF communication to avoid traps, a command center for logging exchanges and decisions, and a clear method to grant flexibility only with documented reciprocity.Expect specific plays you can run today: set up a dedicated communication channel that time‑stamps every message, pre‑write calm responses for predictable provocations, document holiday swaps with equal makeup time, and push for temporary orders that reflect true involvement. We also talk about the power of community—learning from dads who've already navigated these pitfalls—and why shifting from hope to an operational end state is the move that protects your role for the long haul. Being unprepared is how great fathers become weekend visitors. Most ground is lost quietly through "drift" and decisions made under pressure.

Honkin' and smackin' Valentine's Day Grocery Store Dad Fighting with 15 year olds in a line A hero moment for a son

In this episode, Ryan and Sam talk about unspoken expectations, why they stopped doing big gifts, and and why fact-checking each other's memories might be the real Valentine's tradition.

You can listen to my musings on spending money for Valentines Day. As much as you hate it, it might mean the world to your daughter.To read the original post, visit https://www.theapollosproject.com/valentines-day-and-christian-dads/

Of course, we try to tell our children we love them. Sometimes they receive it. Sometimes they roll their eyes.

The panel discusses the classic concern: how could any child become socially and relationally mature without attending a state school? But what is socialization, defined biblically? And does state school actually teach it? The dads share practical methods for ensuring kids don't become isolated and introverted…how they trained their kids to interact with adults and unbelievers…and five simple questions to make kids great conversationalists.

Which parent would you rather be, then? Imperious and impossible to please? Or fun and proud and loving?

In this episode of For The Dads with Former NFL Linebacker Will Compton, hosts Will and Sherm discuss their plans for Valentine’s Day, Will talks about finally being back with the fam after the Super Bowl, and the boys play a little newly wed game — all while keeping the episode fun, fresh and of course, under an hour. The episode kicks off with Will finally getting his power back (!) before they dive into some hilarious conversations, including: How much do they know their wifeys? A TON of PT6 stories to tell Demon joins the show! Other highlights include: Sherm shares a combined Dad Hack / Dad Loss Will shares a sweet story about Rue

The Dads are back! Lol We talk everything superbowl, Diggs drama, Discipline, and of course J Cole's potential last Album review. Lets get to it!  This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
