Fatherhood: Perspectives on Righteous Intentional Parenting

Ever had one of those experiences where you feel completely defeated? The kind of moment when it seems like a waste, it's lost, you’ve failed.

If we are honest with ourselves, we will probably have to say yes.

Joseph and Taylor provide a powerful perspective that might help you next time your ‘there’.
NOTE: Due to equipment issues the audio quality in this episode is a bit low but the message is too good not to share. And, as these podcasts unscripted, we feared we couldn't do it twice. Apologies...

Making Reading Fundamental

Reading is a fundamental part of communication. Reading to a child benefits both the adult and the child. A child who has been read to on a regular basis will develop language skills, and become a better learner. And, reading together develops relationships.

Taylor and Joseph share personal experiences, memories, and ideas on bringing the joy of reading to a child.

It’s never to early to start, and there is a plethora of great books available. And, yes, we can say it benefits the child – but the adult gets a lot out of it too!

Instant Family

This episode includes an interview with David Greenhalgh, a stepfather of 3 boys. David was not looking for marriage (again) and definitely not family, but sometimes life has different ideas. Not only did he marry, but he got an instant family.

Joseph and Taylor discuss with David some of his perspectives as a step-dad and the challenges that can be expected when there are 3 teenage boys in the picture. Some of the things he had learned probably won’t surprise you. Some of his insights might serve to prevent a lot of trouble.
