Legacy Dads was honored to welcome Detective J. Warner Wallace to discuss the updated and revised edition of his book Cold-Case Christianity.

The book includes real-life homicide cases to help illustrate ten common rules of evidence for how to make a reasonable decision. Wallace shows readers the reliability of the Christian faith through evidence and eye-witness accounts of historical Jesus.

With a master’s degree in theological studies, J. Warner Wallace is an award-winning detective who has been featured on Dateline more than any other homicide investigator.

Protecting our Children from Pornography

As reported in a recent news article, a major pornography-streaming website is suing the state of Texas because of a proposed law requiring age verification prior to consuming pornographic material. In this episode, listen to Dave and Dante discuss the issue of protecting children from pornography and why Legacy Dads must stay on the offensive in order to raise their children in a way that places value on all human life.

From Treasure to Relationship

A couple episodes ago we talked about treasure - and where we find it. This week, we continue along the same lines but shift the conversation to the proper view of relationship. What is our relationship with God? What about with our wife? What about with our kids? When our relationship with God is askew, we can be sure that our relationships with others will follow suit. In this episode, listen to Dave and Dante discuss the importance of a “right relationship” and how it can impact our legacy.
