Ok. So, there are no singing swans. Sorry to mislead you. However, maybe if you listen closely enough you'll hear my hearts song, and maybe this is where the mistaken hearing of a swan singing came from? We are going to miss you! :) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Last episode of the season! WOOO WHOOOOO!!! This one starts off a bit abruptly, but if you can just go with it you will hear that Josh and Chris are different. and Chris learns about Enneagrams. We chat "Dad high. Dad low", apologising and whether we analyse our parenting or not? (Do you?). Chris makes a 'shout-out' mistake right.   We then move on to talking about being fully present when you are present. Does the Bible say anything about that? And being a vulnerable parent and person in general. Question: Why be present when we’re spending time with our kids  Answer: Cats in the Cradle And to wrap things up - Are we going to be held accountable for how we look after our wives and children? Thanks so much to everyone who has stuck around for the last 3 seasons! You are the best! Keep your eyes peeled for season 4.....and now for something completely different! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

"What would it be for 3?" says Josh. “The black furry thing” chat. Sharing is caring isn't it? Dad’s shaving their face. Grace and Ahn Doh and Bill Murray’s answering machine. Interesting... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

So, in this episode, we’re back baby! (meeting together, face-to-face, that is).  We start off by doing 'shout-outs' to "all" of our fans. After which Chris asks the question "When did you cry last?" We chat about our Dad highs and Dad lows and how it's going being a dad. We briefly talk about Ecclesiastes’ complications and what that means for being a dad and end by chatting about showing grace. Always an interesting twistful and turning conversation, but you wouldn't expect anything less for Faithful Dads! ;)  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Chitchat about hearing music that isn’t there, the Funniest punishment, how to say "my mistake", but in Spanish and are we three just one lingual? And tie it all together with a prayer. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

We start off with a casual question, "What would you never eat again?" When then move into our normal conversation mode and chat about church community and what does it have to do with being a Faithful Dad? This then inevitably leads into talk about interesting thoughts on what church is now during COVID. “We can’t loose our salvation because of COVID” - Josh. Is virtual churching (yes I used church as a verb), still ‘doing church’? Will Jarrod and Chris ever see eye to eye on this?? And what’s been hard for you to continue to meet? The last thing we cover, before our abrupt ending is how do we still engage with church community when we’re not allowed to meet together? Tell me this, HOW?! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Well, because we ended up chatting for a wee bit after Roger left us, this one is a longer than usual side b. Jarrods washing up playlist and his new favourite band, when do you stop putting your kids to bed, how tomorrow should be interesting, 'How to build a tower' with our very own Jarrod, what does Darwinism have to do with COVID and the prayer.

This episode starts off with chat about next door neighbour's thoughts on Faithful Dads. We then move into the intro of our very first special guest, Rog. He talks about being a Christ restored Dad. He then goes on to talk about his 3 points - take your kids to church, apologise, you’ve got to listen (knowing your kids), trust God (and love their mother) and don’t take yourself too seriously (more than 3, right?! :O) We talk a little about smacking and what he did with Toby? We then hear about what it was like becoming a father without a father and how did the reality of death shape your fathering? We are so blessed to have Roger as a pastor of our church and felt quite privileged to have had him as part of an episode of Faithful Dads. So, thanks Rog! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

(just imagine!) Is it hard to be a Faithful Dad during birth? What is it like to cut the umbilical cord? And what did Josh always think about them? And good ‘ol placenta chat!

Would you rather, what’s God been teaching you during this COVID time and Jarrod talks more about evangelism. What are you reading in the bible, The Psalms and Job and "Reading the Bible" - By Chris. Prayer and praying, rap music and Margaux’s creative side. Men and women’s differences and what happens when we loose Josh? We find out what Chris is working on.

Do children give you a reason to not work over time? How should a good story actually start? What do you do with inherently sinful people? What does ‘steward’ mean? And is it a forever thing?
