Legacy Dads with Dave and Dante

In this hard-hitting episode, Dave and Dante tackle a sobering question: Have churches in the West gotten discipleship wrong? The data is alarming. The mission is clear. And the stakes are generational. Jesus' final command in Gospel of Matthew 28:19–20 wasn't to build programs, grow attendance, or launch niche ministries. It was simple and direct: "Go therefore and make disciples…" So why are so few men being discipled? And what does that mean for our families, churches, and culture? The Discipleship Crisis 90 million men in America are NOT involved in discipleship Only 1 out of every 18 men is engaged in discipleship Only 10% of born-again believers are actively discipling others Only 6% of self-identified Christians hold a biblical worldview Even among born-again Christians, only 13% hold a biblical worldview This isn't a programming issue. It's an obedience issue. Why This Matters for Fathers Men are called to lead their homes spiritually. When fathers are discipled: Marriages grow stronger Children are more likely to follow Christ Churches grow healthier Culture shifts from the inside out When fathers are absent spiritually, the ripple effects last for generations. The Strategic Questions Every Church Must Ask Are we producing disciples or just attendees? Can our men articulate and defend biblical truth? Are fathers equipped to lead spiritually at home? Are we making disciples who make disciples? If not, it's time to recalibrate. Connect with us: Legacy Dads Facebook Legacy Dads Instagram

In this episode, we dive deep into the generational mission of fatherhood. We move beyond the traditional metrics of "success"—finances and career—to explore the weight and beauty of building a spiritual legacy. It's not about being a perfect theologian; it's about being a present, consistent, and humble leader who treats God as a reality, not just a concept. Pick one spiritual habit to start this week. Don't overcomplicate it. Whether it's praying before bed, reading one verse at dinner, or simply blessing your children with your words—start small, but start now. Remember: God doesn't need your ability; He needs your availability. Connect with us: Legacy Dads Facebook Legacy Dads Instagram

In this episode of the, we dive into Hebrews 11—often called the Hall of Faith—to explore what biblical faith really looks like and how it shapes the legacy we leave as men, husbands, and fathers. This chapter isn't about flawless heroes; it's about ordinary people who trusted God in extraordinary circumstances. Their faith wasn't passive belief, but active obedience—often costly, uncomfortable, and unseen by the world. Hebrews 11 challenges modern dads to rethink success, security, and legacy. The men and women highlighted here lived with their eyes fixed on God's promises rather than immediate comfort or cultural approval. Their stories invite us to ask: What kind of faith are we modeling for our children.

Why does disagreement so quickly turn into outrage, mob mentality, or even violence in today's culture? In this episode of the Legacy Dads Podcast, Dave and Dante examine the spiritual and relational roots behind the destruction of disagreement. From the loss of a shared moral center to identity-driven conflict and the rejection of authority, they explore what Scripture says about restraint, suffering, and peacemaking. This timely conversation challenges Christian fathers to model conviction with humility, truth with love, and strength under control in a fractured world.

In this episode, Dave and Dante tackle one of the most challenging and controversial cultural issues facing the Church today: feminism and its downstream effects on gender, family, and Christian discipleship. Drawing from the work of Rosaria Butterfield, Dr. Joe Rigney, and Scripture, the conversation examines how feminist ideology—once framed as liberation—has ultimately collapsed under its own contradictions and found an unexpected refuge inside evangelical Christianity. This is not a conversation about hating women. It is a conversation about loving truth, protecting families, and forming faithful sons and daughters in an anti-Christian age.
