Preacher Dad Podcast

“Best way to increase listeners is to have a controversial podcast.” So says the modern wisdom of the Internet. (Which I of course follow without question.) So here you go, I’ve jumped on and made a few statements that are sure to ruffle some feathers. (Are we allowed to talk about feathers? Is that too […] The post 039 – Controversial Podcast appeared first on Preacher Dad .

A natural part of the world, reflected even in the Animal Kingdom, is the parental responsibility to provide, protect, train and encourage. Not all parents accept this responsibility. Some abandon it completely. But it still exists, the same way the wind exists but some people fight against it. In this episode we explore how this […] The post 038 – Parental Responsibility appeared first on Preache...

June 24th, 2022 – A day I will try to remember the rest of my life. The day life wins. A day when my faith was strengthened, my heart was encouraged, and hope was restored.

The deceitfulness of riches is subtle and powerful. And finding contentment in the pursuit of godliness can be especially challenging in our western culture. In 1 Tim. 6 the Apostle Paul tells us about the dangers of allowing the pressures of this world overpower the main thing.

It’s a tried and true Biblical principle: If you don’t work, you don’t eat. Yet many people in our society seem to think they are entitled to food and shelter whether they work or not. Survival is not guaranteed. It is by the sweat of our brow that we bring forth food from the earth. […] The post 035 – You Don’t Work, You Don’t Eat appeared first on Preacher Dad .

Does an action have to be monumental to be heroic? I would say heroism can be found even in the small things. Though often the word “hero” is overused, it is the little every day sacrifices we make which truly stem the tide of evil in our time. Self-sacrifice is the hero’s motto, and that […] The post 034 – What is Heroic? appeared first on Preacher Dad .

The death “bed” conversion – How can the faith of one criminal inspire us today? The thief on the Cross displays incredible faith in the midst of the last moments of his life. How did this happen?

How can a family stop tyranny?

Things that regular folks can do to make a difference. You’re not an expert, or “well-read”, or “influential”, or charismatic, blah, blah, blah-blah blah blah-blah. But you have an opportunity to make an impact. A bigger “foot print” than you dreamed of! The post 031 – What We Can Do – Part 1 appeared first on Preacher Dad .

Sometimes it’s very hard to stay “up”. The pressures of life get oppressive. But we are told in Scripture that these “various trials” are meant for our growth and maturity. Here are some thoughts that might encourage you (or help you stay encouraged) and some sources that help me when I feel down. The post 030 – Stay Encouraged! appeared first on Preacher Dad .

When Russia invades Ukraine, or inflation drives the price of everything up, or any number of other things in our lives that threaten us or our children, we must remember the Truth which teaches us that “we have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and a sound mind.” (2 […] The post 029 – No Fear! appeared first on Preacher Dad .

Why are we surprised when life is stressful or challenging? Why does suffering throw us for a loop and cause us to doubt God? Doesn’t he say that difficulties are the normal way of life for a Christian? That we shouldn’t be surprised when trials come upon us? As believers we should expect the difficult, […] The post 028 – Normal Suffering appeared first on Preacher Dad .

What’s the point of preparation? What is a reasonable scenario? (Not the cooky ones that say aliens have poisoned the food supply so they can take over our nation by mind control, but only Jewish people are immune…. you get the idea.) Am I prepared to live for even a week without electricity? What about […] The post 027 – Why Prepare? appeared first on Preacher Dad .

This Fatherhood Friday we get some dad jokes (good ones) and a report from the first class we did on Biblical Citizenship in Modern America.

This episode brings you up to date on the goings on in our neck of the woods. Also a bit of encouragement to grow not weary in well doing, to lay aside “besetting weights,” and check your worldview. The post 025 – Knowing Christ, Engagement, Worldview War appeared first on Preacher Dad .

In today’s episode we discuss being a student of life, local involvement in the culture war, and the need for reformation. Did you know that our Founders believed Christianity was the key to being free? They believed, and I agree, that the only way to preserve liberty was to have a people that behaved in […] The post 024 – Students, Involvement, and Reformation appeared first on Preacher Dad .

How do we come back from the precipice of destruction in which we find ourselves as a nation? How can we restore sanity to this insane world? Well, quite simply, we must apply Biblical principles to our society. From entertainment to entitlements, from police work to parks and rec…we have to return to our Christian […] The post 023 – The Way Back appeared first on Preacher Dad .

Easy parenting, or perhaps more precisely “selfish parenting”, is a very subtle yet seductive danger to our children. It is remarkably tempting, when our children need training of various kinds, to put it aside because it would be too hard, time consuming, or inconvenient. Yet the danger to our children from a habit of this […] The post 022 – Pitfalls of Easy Parenting appeared first on Preacher D...

“If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for you.” That’s the basic philosophy we have about family Christmas gifts in our home, and with a large family something like that is a necessity. We have to manage the Christmas season somehow or we end up buried under a tsunami of debt and wrapping […] The post 020 – Fatherhood Friday – 3 Gifts! appeared first on Preacher Dad .

It might seem cliche, but one of the very best ways to make a difference is to vote! “Vote early; vote often!” is the old joke but as long as you don’t vote more than once in a single election…yeah, vote often!

True, Christ-like masculinity is not only strong and rugged, but tender and compassionate. A biblical man is patient and wise, brave and bold, and willing to fight when needed, but is wise enough to avoid it often. The post 017 – Fatherhood Friday! – We Need Men! appeared first on Preacher Dad .

On Fatherhood Friday, I share one of the very first lessons that the Lord showed me about parenting. It is *cough* twenhhmmmllvy *cough* years old.
