In this second part of a two-part interview with Phil Ling, we hear the practical things that Legacy Dads can do to glorify the kingdom of God. Too often we are told "time, talents, treasures" with no real advice on how to use them to glorify God's kingdom. Phil lays it down and puts it all in perspective so that we can make that happen. Listen in and let it marinate so that you can use your time, talents, and treasures to bring glory to God!

"Praise Him" with Lauren Chandler
We were honored to welcome Lauren Chandler onto the podcast to discuss her new book "Praise Him." In this beautifully illustrated board book, Lauren’s lyrical lines encourage us that in the day or in the night, wherever we go, we can praise God continually.
From page to page, follow a child through her day as she goes from sunny morning to stormy afternoon and then shadowy night. Be reminded that God is always there with us, even when days are hard, and that we need only simple words to praise Him.

Biblical Masculinity (Part 3): Legacy Dads and Honest Youth Pastor
In this episode, we welcome Michael, aka the Honest Youth Pastor. This is the final part of a three-part series on biblical masculinity. We talked through biblical masculinity and why it is important for Christian men to keep striving to be more like the man that Jesus was while he was on earth. What are the fruits of biblical masculinity, and how can you differentiate between "toxic" and "biblical" masculinity? Do you have role models for how to be a Christian man? These are just a few topics covered during the conversation. We hope you enjoy! Don't forget to see parts 1 and 2 for more valuable information on how to stay in the fight as a Christian man!

Biblical Masculinity, Part 2 (of 3): 12 Traits

Bold: Acts 4:29
Faithful: 1 Corinthians 4:2
Dependable: 1 Corinthians 16:13
Strong: Ephesians 6:10
Courageous: Joshua 1:7
Truthful: Ephesians 4:25
Sacrificial: John 15:13
Pure: Psalms 24:4-5
Loyal: Proverbs 18:24
Charitable: 1 Timothy 4:12
Meek: Matthew 5:5
Wise: Proverbs 1:5
Listen in as we talk through these 12 traits and the associated scriptures. Men in all stages of life likely have a couple of these traits that are really strong. Likewise, there are probably one or two that need a little work. So where are you at? If there’s something to strengthen, find a brother in Christ who you know will encourage you and keep you accountable to becoming a more biblical masculine man!
