Dad 2 Dad

Hey, Dad, one of the things that came to us as we were studying Abraham was, is it ok to tell a lie? There are, of course, multiple Bible verses that tell us not to lie. In fact, some plainly state how much God dislikes it. This is where we wonder why Abraham lied about his wife, or even Rahab, who we will meet later, lies, and they actually receive favor because of that. So this week, we are finding out if we can lie and under what circumstances it is ok. We would love to hear your perspective as well and have a healthy conversation together. Also, if you could do us a huge favor and hit subscribe, we would greatly appreciate it. #liar #faith #lies #truth #honesty #dad2dad

As a dad something that we worry about often is am I letting my children down. Am I getting outside enough with them to keep them active, are we focused enough on their homework and so on.

We just wrapped up Holy Week and had Easter. On Easter, some strange things happened in the world. We had a former president pushing for the sale of a Bible and a current President acknowledging a letter of the alphabet soup day. So you know what, we will have to talk about it. Not because we want to necessarily but because we are obligated to do so since we are in the Christian niche. Our take may upset many, but we believe it is how Jesus wants us to handle things. We will also talk about biblical laziness and what version of the Bible you should be reading from. What are your thoughts from KJV on the Message commentary? Let us know below.

It's our last day of Holy Week. It's also known as the most somber. Why? It's the one where Jesus dies. What we come to realize through our conversation is this is also the day we are given full access to our creator. Join us as we walk through the day and what all we discover.

It has officially been one year since we launched our podcast across all platforms including YouTube. What has happened in the past year has been a lot. We have moved started new jobs and we are now re focusing on what this podcast is going to focus on. To be honest the vision early on was just introduce those who may have never heard the Bible pick one up which if you don’t have one we will gladly get you one. What I have come to realize now though is living a Christian life and sharing that life with each other is just as important. So that is what we will be doing. Don’t worry we will still read scripture when God gives us that nudge but for the most part, we are going to share our week the ups and downs and sometimes downright comical things that we encounter. I mean were raising two children and they bring on a whole entertainment factor on their own. So I want to thank you for sticking it out with us and hope you continue to do so, Ill ask because it’s our birthday and I get a wish is that you would share this platform with someone new, maybe they are a believer maybe they are not. If they are someone who wants to talk and dive into being a better husband, dad, or friend were going to hit on all that a lot more than we have before. Were also going to be working on setting up some live sessions where we can have your questions or perspectives shared soon so make sure your friends don’t miss what you have to share on your heart either. Thanks for following. Ben This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm

We built a Lego centerpiece with over 800 pieces on this week's show at 28:00. As well as introducing the show's new co-host. We have in-depth conversations about what scripture tells us about holding our tongue and why Legos are better than puzzles. To add more context, we talk about what a bit is for a horse around the eight-minute mark, why they are essential, and how a captain steers a ship. This is truly one of our best conversations, and we hope you will give the whole thing a listen and subscribe. If you need a Bible, just let us know in the comments and show your most recent Lego build. Next time, our co-host will try and complete a puzzle within the length of the show.
