Podcasts about fathers

Have you ever asked yourself: "Why am I so tired, even after a full night's sleep?" "Am I really present for my kids, or just physically there?" "Could my low energy be impacting my marriage and family life?" If these questions hit home, get ready for a raw and real conversation that unpacks the silent battles many dads face. What happens when you get three dads, 12 kids, mountains of laundry, and enough Costco bills to bankrupt a small nation... all together on one podcast? Chaos? Yep. Laughter? Absolutely. But beneath the wild potty-training stories and "Dad, look at my squat!" moments, today's conversation hits something way deeper with Matt Salazar, father of five boys, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Gent Health, and his partner, Sonny Howard, a dad of three. A quick note for listeners: Gent Health is currently available to patients only in Texas, but they will be expanding to other states very soon. Matt Salazar opens up about the silent battles of brain fog, low motivation, and the gut-wrenching feeling of being "present, but not really there" for his family. Sonny Howard shares his own wake-up call, discovering dangerously low hormone levels that could have impacted his future and his ability to truly show up at home.  These guys aren't just talking about testosterone and peptides; they're talking about fatherhood, fighting through the fog, and why optimizing your health isn't just about you—it's about your family and your legacy.   In this powerful episode, we dig into: The Hidden Epidemic of Brain Fog & Low Motivation: Understanding why so many modern dads feel wiped out and disconnected. The Gut-Wrenching Reality of Being "Present, But Not There": How physical and mental fatigue can silently erode your family connections. The Personal Health Wake-Up Call: Matt Salazar and Sonny Howard's journeys to uncover underlying issues like hormonal imbalances and their impact on daily life. Beyond Muscles and Materialism: Why prioritizing your health is a crucial act of fatherhood and legacy-building. Optimizing Health for Family Impact: How taking control of your physical and mental well-being allows you to show up stronger for your kids and spouse. Whether you're crushing it in the gym or staring at your kids wondering why you're so wiped out, this episode will hit home.   Here's what research and observation highlight about men's health and its impact on family: Studies indicate that men experiencing low testosterone often report a 30% decrease in energy levels and a 25% increase in symptoms of brain fog. Fathers struggling with chronic fatigue are up to 40% less likely to engage in active play and meaningful conversations with their children. Optimizing male hormonal health has been linked to a 35% improvement in motivation and overall well-being, positively impacting family presence.   www.thedadedge.com/529 www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.gent.health www.instagram.com/genthealth

Gospel Reading: John 17:1-13At that time, Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work which you gave me to do; and now, Father, you glorify me in your own presence with the glory which I had with you before the world was made."I have manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world; yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you; for I have given them the words which you gave me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you did send me. I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are mine; all mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves."

What is wisdom? Knowledge tempered by experience. We can also say wisdom is “knowledge forged in the fires of experience.” We need to appreciate the wisdom older and more mature Christians have developed over many years of walking with Jesus.

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the Sixth Week of Easter - Ascension Lectionary: 58, 294The Saint of the day is Saint Madeleine Sophie BaratSaint Madeleine Sophie Barat's Story The legacy of Madeleine Sophie Barat can be found in the more than 100 schools operated by her Society of the Sacred Heart, institutions known for the quality of the education made available to the young. Sophie herself received an extensive education, thanks to her brother Louis, 11 years older and her godfather at baptism. Himself a seminarian, Louis decided that his younger sister would likewise learn Latin, Greek, history, physics and mathematics—always without interruption and with a minimum of companionship. By age 15, she had received a thorough exposure to the Bible, the teachings of the Fathers of the Church and theology. Despite the oppressive regime Louis imposed, young Sophie thrived and developed a genuine love of learning. Meanwhile, this was the time of the French Revolution and of the suppression of Christian schools. The education of the young, particularly young girls, was in a troubled state. Sophie, who had discerned a call to the religious life, was persuaded to become a teacher. She founded the Society of the Sacred Heart, which focused on schools for the poor as well as boarding schools for young women of means. Today, co-ed Sacred Heart schools also can be found, along with schools exclusively for boys. In 1826, her Society of the Sacred Heart received formal papal approval. By then she had served as superior at a number of convents. In 1865, she was stricken with paralysis; she died that year on the feast of the Ascension. Madeleine Sophie Barat was canonized in 1925. Her liturgical feast is celebrated on May 25. Reflection Madeleine Sophie Barat lived in turbulent times. She was only 10 when the Reign of Terror began. In the wake of the French Revolution, rich and poor both suffered before some semblance of normality returned to France. Born to some degree of privilege, Sophie received a good education. It grieved her that the same opportunity was being denied to other young girls, and she devoted herself to educating them, whether poor or well-to-do. We who live in an affluent country can follow her example by helping to ensure to others the blessings we have enjoyed.

Send us a textWhat happens when life strips everything away before you've even begun? In this deeply moving episode of the Quarterback Dadcast, we welcome Clark Wilcox, whose extraordinary journey began with unimaginable tragedy—losing both parents within ten days when he was just five years old.Clark is the founder and host of the Digital Recruiter & Digital Recruiter Podcast.Growing up in France to an Algerian father and American mother, Clark's childhood was abruptly transformed when his father died unexpectedly. Days later, upon learning the government planned to take her son away, his mother took her own life. Transported to America to live with his mother's family, Clark had to learn a new language, adapt to a new culture, and somehow make sense of his shattered world.Through the guidance of his grandmother and adoptive father, Clark discovered the power of positivity, curiosity, and resilience. "My dad was never going to let me be a victim," Clark reflects, "but he didn't do it by telling me—he did it through action." These early lessons would become the foundation for his approach to life, business, and eventually, fatherhood.Now a successful entrepreneur running The Digital Recruiter and raising two young sons with his wife, Clark shares how his faith journey became the cornerstone of his recovery from both childhood trauma and later professional setbacks. His candid discussion about reconciling with his adoptive mother demonstrates how forgiveness works as a healing force not just for the forgiven, but primarily for the forgiver.What makes Clark's story so compelling isn't just what he overcame, but how he transformed his experiences into wisdom. The values he prioritizes—humility, grace, forgiveness—reflect a man who has thought deeply about what truly matters in parenting and in life. His journey reminds us that our greatest challenges often contain the seeds of our most important contributions.Whether you're facing challenges in your parenting journey or simply seeking inspiration from someone who has transformed pain into purpose, this conversation will leave you with practical wisdom and renewed hope.

David Lowery has cracked the code for having it all. In the 80s he fronted the beloved Camper Van Beethoven who rose to (indie) fame with "Take the Skinheads Bowling" and "Pictures of Matchstick Men" and sounding like no one else at the time. Then, when they broke up in the early 90s, he started Cracker which was even more successful commercially with huge hits like "Low" and "Get Off This". Eventually, he found a way to merge the two into a single touring unit which is completely unique to them. Along the way, David has released a solo album or two, including his latest magnum opus - Fathers, Sons and Brothers - a 28-track audio autobiography of sorts. Oh, and he teaches at the University of Georgia. Who does this? No one. David joins us this week to discuss it all.  www.davidlowerymusic.com www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod

St. Bernard of Claivaux (1090 - 1153 AD) was the founder of the Cistercians, a reform order of the Benedictines, and was one of the Church's true mystics. He opposed the “intentionalism” of the heretic Peter Abelard with his quip: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” He also opposed an anti-pope, corrected a king, brokered peace in Europe, and had to nuance the doctrine of “just war” in the face of Christian losses in the Crusades.

With special guest: Molly Murn… in conversation with Bill Kable Today we travel back to the time before 1836 and to Australia’s second biggest island, Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia. This is a big story over different generations of islanders. The modern day story deals with the effect on a family of a grandmother’s death. When Nell died her family returned to Kangaroo Island to mourn and farewell her. Nell’s granddaughter Pearl pulled together the scraps Nell left behind, her stories, poems and paintings and unearthed the early history of the European sealers and their first contact with the Ngarrindjeri people. Interwoven with the modern day story is the life on the island before 1836 with some brutal characters set against the next generation. The main character asks himself what it is to be a man after being confronted with some terrible exploits of the early sealers. Podcast (mp3)

The dad who coaches the team and brings home the bacon is a modern invention.

This message is a call to arms to the church of our Lord Jesus Christ, the army of the living God. To stand up for Jesus. To stand up for traditional family values. To stand up for the God of our Fathers. To stand up and witness and win in a godless society. To take America back! One heart at a time. One home at a time. One city at a time. And let this nation see us standing for God. Free and independent saturated with the holiness of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Friends, I buried my father today. He passed away unexpectedly Tuesday morning. Today as the morning light he loved fell across the desert, we laid him to rest. Forgive me for not having a full episode for you this week... I just didn't have it in me to create one. We'll have a good one ready to go next Friday!  — Joseph

In this introspective episode, Jackie invites listeners to explore a foundational question: What is your native way of being in the world? Rather than diving straight into behavior or belief, she challenges us to uncover our truest self—our Imago Dei—before the world told us who we should be.She introduces the concept of a rule of life, not as a rigid list of dos and don'ts, but as a gentle structure or trellis that supports spiritual growth rooted in who we truly are. Drawing from ancient Christian practices, the Desert Mothers and Fathers, the Rule of St. Benedict, and modern voices like John Mark Comer and Parker Palmer, Jackie suggests that a life of flourishing begins with reclaiming our birthright self.Jackie shares her own journey, reflecting that her native way of being is captured in the word WITH—a value that has shown up across her life in relationships, presence, and ministry. She encourages listeners to consider what has always been true about themselves, especially before the pressures of performance, ego, or cultural roles set in.This episode blends spiritual reflection with practical tools, offering questions for personal discovery and inviting listeners to create a rule of life rooted in their truest identity, not their striving. It's an empowering reminder that we aren't here to manufacture a holy life but to live from the goodness already woven into us.Links for the episodeJohn Mark Comer, https://www.practicingtheway.org/Parker Palmer, Let Your Life Speak https://www.amazon.com/Let-Your-Life-Speak-Listening/dp/0787947350Three Questions: Take a moment to think about who you were before the world told you who you should be. What do you think is your native way of being—who you've always been at your core? If you were exactly the same person you were at age 7—but grown—what would still be true about you? What's stayed unchanged about how you move through the world? Take a breath and think of a moment when you felt most yourself. Not performing. Not proving. Just present. What did that version of you feel like?

Send us a textWhat if homeschooling were the entrepreneurial version of education? In this perspective-shifting conversation, Dan Mori, Managing Partner of Staffing Mastery, explores how rethinking traditional approaches to parenting and education has transformed his family's life.Dan shares his journey from initial skepticism about alternative schooling to becoming a passionate advocate, explaining how his wife's entrepreneurial framing helped him see education differently: "Entrepreneurs find better, more efficient ways of doing things. With homeschooling, you can learn how your kids learn and put them in programs that spark their interests." This customized approach has allowed his three children to pursue their unique passions - from parkour and skateboarding to performing arts.The heart of this episode revolves around meaningful life lessons passed from one generation to the next. Dan recounts a powerful story from his childhood about his mother teaching him that "it's not what you give, it's what you sacrifice" - a principle that guided him and his brother to donate their favorite toys to a family who had lost everything in a house fire. This lesson in empathy continues to shape how he parents today.Perhaps most valuable is Dan's insight into understanding each child's unique needs. He shares a breakthrough moment helping his son with a science project, where he discovered his son needed visual learning rather than written instructions: "I need to do a better job taking a step back and trying to understand the individual needs of different people in my household, and meet them where they're at versus where I think they should be." This distinction between expectations and agreements forms a powerful framework for better communication with our children.Connect with Dan on LinkedIn to learn more about his work with Staffing Mastery and the Staffing Sales Summit, where he helps staffing industry professionals improve their sales practices through actionable insights and peer learning.Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

How bad can a movie truly be? We put that theory to the test with 3 movies rated in the less than 10% approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Those movies: Cobra (1986), Jaws: The Revenge (1987), and Bio-Dome (1996) all have poor acting, worse writing, and plot holes galore. But they may also have some redeeming qualities to others, but listen and decide for yourself.Also Play:Cinema Chain Game--------------------------------------------Subscribe, rate, and review:Apple Podcasts: Our Film FathersSpotify: Our Film FathersYouTube: Our Film Fathers---------------------------------------------Follow Us:Instagram: @ourfilmfathersTwitter / X: @ourfilmfathersEmail: ourfilmfathers@gmail.com

We delve into the Israelites' experiences in Egypt, 400 years after the Fathers. Despite the Israelites growth from a small clan to hundreds of thousands, the Egyptians forget about their contributions and begin to see them as a threat, leading to the imposition of forced labor. Pharaoh orders the killing of all newborn Hebrew boys, but the Hebrew midwives disobey this command, allowing the Israelites to continue to multiply. The episode explores the concept of time in the divine perspective, discusses how the Israelites pass down the promises of God through generations, and highlights how Pharaoh's ignorance of God's power will lead to Egypt's fall.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

With special guest: Samuel Johnson… in conversation with Bill Kable Samuel Johnson is well known to Australian television audiences. He has won the Gold Logie for his performance in the miniseries Molly. But to others in the Australian community he is the hero who has raised $20 million for cancer research. In that connection Samuel rode his unicycle around Australia in a fund raising effort and in the process of cycling 15,000 kilometres broke a world record. Clearly this man knows a hero when he sees one. And yet when Samuel’s sister Hilde Hinton told him about the everyday heroes she met in her own fundraising activities it all came as a surprise. Many of these unsung heroes in our Australian community hide their light under a bushel. These Australian heroes were initially horrified to think that their stories would be included in a book titled Heroes Next Door. However Samuel can be very persuasive and we are fortunate to be able finally to hear these uplifting stories at a time when we need them most. Podcast (mp3)

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 - The Shema in Deuteronomy 6 is one of the most important, load-bearing passages in the entire Bible. Its content and then application in the following verses has deep implications for all of life, especially for Christian parenting. In it we see that whatever we want to communicate to our children about God, we must first find that we know and love Him in our own hearts. Healthy, engaged, intentional Christian parenting flows out of a life of integrity beginning in the heart then out through our words and actions. A sermon by Cameron Heger.

Are we trying hard enough to foster healthy relationships what create a healthy environment both for child rearing and retirement? Does our faith have something to say about commitment and self sacrifice?

Andronicus is counted as one of the Seventy. He and his fellow-worker Junia are mentioned by St Paul in his Epistle to the Romans: "Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and fellow prisoners, who are of note among the Apostles, who also were in Christ before me" (Romans 16:7). Some, troubled that a woman is mentioned as an Apostle, have attempted to translate "Junia" as "Junias," a man's name; but the Fathers are united in treating her as "Junia." It may be that they were husband and wife, like Aquila and Priscilla (Acts 18), but the ancient witnesses do not tell us.   Andronicus became Bishop of Pannonia, but did not stay in one place, instead travelling throughout the world to proclaim the Gospel. Both Andronicus and Junia were granted the gift of wonder-working. Both of them suffered for Christ and were finally martyred.

This week: Are Young Men Lost or Returning to Faith? A deep dive into seemingly contradictory studies on young men: while many are falling behind in education and mental health, others are returning to church and discovering faith through the Bible, not institutional religion.The Role of Fathers and Masculinity Sean and Scott discuss how the absence of fathers, misapplied cultural expectations, and lack of male mentorship contribute to young men's struggles today.Exposing Pornhub's Dark Secrets A disturbing New York Times report reveals internal documents from Pornhub detailing massive amounts of child sexual abuse material and corporate negligence. What Does It Really Mean to Die with Dignity? The hosts reflect on a physician's critique of assisted suicide laws, arguing true dignity comes from care, community, and affirming the worth of the vulnerable—not offering them an early death.Listener Q&A: Eastern Medicine and Cohabitation Thoughtful responses to audience questions on the ethical use of alternative medicine and how to lovingly address adult children who are cohabitating. Join us for ANCHORED: A Conference for Pastors, Church Leaders and the Community June 9-11, 2025.

Mother Miriam reflects on the joy of the Resurrection during Pascale time and its connection to the life of the Catholic family. Drawing from Bishop Fulton Sheen's Three to Get Married, she explores how the Holy Trinity is at the heart of every marriage. Focusing on the father's role as head of the household, she shares timeless wisdom from Pope Pius XI and St. Thomas Aquinas on fatherhood, leadership, and spiritual responsibility. With reverence and clarity, Mother Miriam calls families to embrace God's design, where fathers lead, mothers support, and children honor. U.S. residents!

Send us a textWhat shapes us as fathers? For Kyle Rampy, Vice President, Central Region, at Tier 4 Group and father of four children under ten, the answer lies in embracing the light and shadow of his past.In this heartfelt conversation, Kyle takes us through his journey from a childhood fractured by divorce at age four to building a stable, values-driven home for his family. With remarkable vulnerability, he shares how moving between his mother in Kansas and father in Texas shaped his understanding of family dynamics, including a pivotal moment in third grade when missing over a month of school led to a custody change that would alter the trajectory of his life.Rather than glossing over difficult topics, Kyle dives deep into how his mother's struggles with depression impacted him, and his ongoing work toward forgiveness while she battles cancer today. "There's forgiveness there, even though there's been hurt," Kyle reflects, showing how breaking generational patterns often begins with healing our own wounds first.The conversation shifts to Kyle's parenting philosophy, built around three core values: leading with love, maintaining strong faith, and demonstrating unwavering integrity. His practical approach to emotional regulation stands out—instead of escalating tension when his children become upset, he's learned to get down on their level and ask curious questions. "What's causing you to have this reaction or emotion?" This simple shift has created not only a more peaceful home but also deeper connections with his children.We also explore Kyle's professional journey in staffing, his work at Tier 4, and his passion for supporting Women in Technology initiatives.  His values inform his leadership style, you will see firsthand during this episode. The episode concludes with a lightning round revealing everything from his favorite comedy movies (Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore) to who would play him in a movie (Ryan Reynolds).Whether you're navigating a complicated family history or simply wanting to lead your home with greater purpose, Kyle's story reminds us that our greatest parenting challenges often become our greatest gifts—if we're willing to do the inner work first.

What is it that forms and shapes us the most as human beings? What affects the way that we perceive reality and gives form to the thoughts that we have  throughout the course of a day? Do we have any awareness of an interior life or are we simply drawn along by the flow of external realities; demands, responsibilities or forms of entertainment?  According to the Fathers and Saint Isaac the Syrian, we are in a constant state of receptivity through our senses. Part of being a human being is that we see and perceive everything that is around us; all of which give rise to a multitude of thoughts, images and feelings. Our lack of awareness of reality and of the internal life and the effect that our thoughts have upon us means that we often allow or identity to be shaped by the changing tides of the times or the constant shifting of our emotions.  In so many ways, the Fathers were the first depth psychologists. Their movement to great solitude and the stillness of the desert allowed a greater awareness to emerge of what was going on internally. This of course didn't lead immediately to understanding or transformation. However, the awareness did allow them to begin to discern the source of their thoughts, what thoughts predominate, and where their thoughts were leading them.  Thoughts can be so strong and so deeply rooted that they become habitual - as well as the actions that follow from them. These habitual thoughts and actions the Fathers call “passions” and the passions as a whole are referred to as the “world”.  Our growing capacity to acknowledge the dominant passions and to struggle with them allows two things to begin to emerge: a good transformation of our way of life and a greater capacity to understand the nature of our thoughts. Simply put, one begins to be able to measure one's way of life by what arises from within.   In this Homily, Saint Isaac is setting the stage for guiding us along a path to spiritual healing and transformation in Christ. The fruit of the struggle promises wholeness, freedom, and the joy that our sin often prevents. When we are guided simply by our private judgment or by what satisfies our most basic needs, then our understanding of things becomes very insular and myopic and we lose sight of the dignity and destiny that is ours' in Christ.  The more that we desire the life and freedom that Isaac describes above the more discover that we need to have no fear of anything. One who has tasted the love and mercy of Christ also finds emerging within himself the courage of a lion. The fear of soul that once overshadowed him succumbs before this ever-present love like wax from the heat of a flame. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:08:36 Bob Čihák, AZ: Is this the book?

St. Bernard of Claivaux (1090 - 1153 AD) was born to be a knight, and grew up in a castle, but he chose to be a different kind of knight - a true prayer warrior - and he supported the invention of the Christian knight by endorsing the Knights Templar. He would be the founder of the Cistercians, a reform order of the Benedictines. He was a strong advocate of devotion to Our Lady, and of orthodox doctrine, and he would turn down the office of bishop in six different cities.
