Fatherhood: Perspectives on Righteous Intentional Parenting

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.

Drop Despair Seek Hope

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...

What Do You Think?

Ever wondered if you were doing any good in your family? If you being present was making things better, or worse. Everyone has moments of doubt, anxiety, and depression – sometimes we dwell there longer than just moments. The question is, what do we do about it?

Taylor and Joseph discuss a powerful concept that impacts parenting. The notion that, the way our minds work, the way we think, and what we believe has great power in creating where we stand in our life right now. They further delve into understanding that where we are now is not where we must remain. We can change the way we think. We can change what we believe about ourselves and others. And, that will change how they interact with us.

Many of the discussion points in this episode come from the book, As A Man Thinketh So Is He, and from personal experiences.
