What does it really mean to "train up a child" in today’s world?

In this episode of our Father’s Day series Dad Mode, we sit down with a public school teacher, dad, and believer to talk about how to raise kids with wisdom, faith, and practical skills — even in a culture that feels lost.

We talk about:

• Teaching discipline without being harsh
• Equipping kids with life skills and faith foundations
• Why presence matters more than perfection
• What Proverbs 22:6 really means today

Whether you're already a dad or thinking about becoming one, this episode is about building the kind of man who can lead with love and raise strong, healthy kids.

Are tattoos a form of self-expression… or spiritual rebellion? In this episode, we dive into what the Bible actually says about tattoos and body art. We unpack historical context, explore what Leviticus 19:28 really means, and ask whether ink is compatible with a life of faith.
This is a real conversation for Gen Z men navigating identity, faith, culture, and manhood. Whether you're tatted up or tattoo-curious, we’re breaking it down with honesty, theology, and brotherhood.
