Big Daddy Debrief

Episode 22: Attitude and Effort — Featuring Pastor Cole Burks This week on  Big Daddy Debrief , Pastor Cole Burks joins me for a conversation about faith, fatherhood, and the things we learn (and sometimes have to unlearn) along the way. We talk about the realities of ministry, raising kids who genuinely know Jesus, navigating difficult questions about faith, and why having all the answers isn&#39...

Growing up, Halloween was satanic. Haunted houses were evil. But a church-sponsored hell house featuring eternal damnation? Totally family-friendly. 😂 This week, we're talking Halloween disasters, church loopholes, and why Jesus probably isn't hiding in your kid's candy bag. 🎙️  Episode 21: The Devil’s in the Details Come for the laughs. Stay for the questionable theology.

From an unexpected encounter with mating tortoises to the magical world of Narnia, this week we're celebrating the joys of being a nerd dad! We're talking bedtime adventures, comic book scavenger hunts with the kids, and the possible return of 1-900-Nerdy Talk. Because growing up doesn't mean you have to stop being a kid yourself.

Peekaboo at a stop sign, an LSU loss, and third-grade math finally push Dad to the edge. This week, I’m trying to figure out what the #&@! happened to simple math and whether any of us actually know what we’re doing.

Four kids, one rogue school bus, a broken saxophone, a growing baby and a whole lot of patience. This week, we're talking about the beautiful chaos of trying to be a dad, husband ,and functioning adult. And of course.... we have no manual. Episode 18 - Running on patience

Farts, football, family traditions, and questionable decisions in a Target aisle. Fall is almost here, but the chaos arrived early!

I lost my podcast studio, J got abandoned by the school bus, Spider-Man ruled, and—surprise—our family got a little bigger. It’s been a chaotic few weeks full of life lessons, big changes, and a reminder that loving people isn’t always easy... But it’s worth it.

This week: hibachi chaos, Spider-Man theories, movie theater struggles, and the first-ever Big Daddy Debrief Mailbag. Plus, we answer the parenting question nobody wants to ask… At what point do we stop playing “Is It Chocolate?”

This week: a demon chicken tried to break into my house, I met Jar Jar Binks, and somehow those two stories belong in the same episode.

Haunted ice cream trucks. World Cup fever. Fourth of July questions from my son. This week we're talking about what healthy patriotism looks like... and why hope is still worth celebrating.

Yes... Father's Day was last week. But legends don't care about calendars! This week, we are talking about Chef Big Sexy!

This week: weird hands, no underwear, construction stories, and learning to leave work at work

This week, we talk report cards, wild church stories, and a faith that my children won't have to heal from.

This week: booboo picking addictions, gang affiliated house cats, and an aftercare misunderstanding that had me considering boarding school

Happy Mother’s Day to the women holding this circus together. This week we celebrate moms, mama bears, teacher-threatening legends, and the guardians of organized chaos everywhere.

Kids don’t give you a warning. They don’t ease into tough conversations. They don’t check the room. They just… ask.

In this episode of  Big Daddy Debrief , a casual night watching hockey turns into a full-blown conversation about war, politics, and the wild things kids bring home from school. What starts as a simple question —  “Dad… are we going to war?”  — quickly becomes a reminder that sometimes parenting isn’t about having the right answers… it’s about helping your kids feel safe in a world they don’t full...

Happy Good Friday to everybody! We have more stories and shenanigans this week that you don't want to miss!

This week we start introducing you guys to the team, starting with the legend himself, J-Bone.

A rooftop ninja. A fart that escalated into a biohazard situation, and a moment that forced me to choose love over revenge (even when revenge felt very justified). In this first episode of  Big Daddy Debrief , we unpack the chaos, the fire, and the responsibility of raising kids without losing our minds — or catching a charge
