What habits, hobbies, or interests did you pick up because of your dad? For most of us, it doesn’t take long to think of something. Maybe it’s the way you follow a particular sports team, the way you approach work, the music you enjoy, or even the way you spend your weekends. Fathers have a unique way of shaping the rhythms and priorities of our lives, often without realizing just how deeply their influence runs.That idea serves as the starting point for this week’s episode.This week, Wayne explores how the influence of a father goes far beyond hobbies or shared interests. Children are constantly watching what their dads value most. They notice what gets their father’s time, attention, and enthusiasm. Those notice if their dad love to worship the Lord or not. . When children see their dads investing in their relationship with God—prioritizing the assembly, engaging in worship, and speaking about spiritual things—it communicates something incredibly important: that faith is not merely a duty but a deeply valued part of life.Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that some of the most important lessons fathers teach are the ones their children see lived out week after week. When dads make worship a priority and demonstrate a genuine love for God, they are shaping the faith of the next generation in ways that may last a lifetime. Join us for a thoughtful discussion about the influence of fathers, the power of example, and why children need to see their dads leading the way in worship.

In this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, we explore what it truly means to wholly trust in the Lord. Proverbs 3 reminds us to trust God with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding. But what does that look like when life is stormy, uncertain, or confusing?Looking at examples from Scripture, we see that trusting God doesn’t mean the path will be easy. It means believing that God is present, powerful, and faithful—no matter what the path looks like.Throughout Scripture, God repeatedly made a way where there seemed to be none:The Red Sea opening for Israel (Exodus 14)Provision in the wilderness (Exodus 16–17)Crossing the Jordan River (Joshua 3)The fall of Jericho (Joshua 6)David defeating Goliath (1 Samuel 17)Deliverance from the Assyrians (2 Kings 19)Most importantly, God made a way for salvation through Jesus Christ. God’s history of faithfulness reminds us that no problem we face is greater than His power.

In Luke 23:43, Jesus spoke words of incredible comfort to a dying man:“Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”In the previous episode, we examined what Jesus meant when He spoke these words from the cross. In this episode, we turn our attention to the compassion behind the promise.The statement Jesus made to the thief was not out of character. Throughout His ministry, Jesus consistently showed deep compassion for sinners, the suffering, and the spiritually lost. The promise of paradise reveals the heart of a Savior who cares deeply for people.

In this episode, Dewayne discusses artifacts that show a Jewish presence in Israel dating back over three thousand years through the first century AD.

Transformation is accomplished in smalls steps and single decisions. Sometimes transformation is not about major changes, but about a singular adjustment. Wayne notes this reality by considering the example of Apollos in Acts 18. The primary reason Apollos was transformable is because was teachable. He was willing to receive instruction and accept correction. True masculinity allows us to acknowledge our limitations and to accept the help needed to change.
