  • Silly & SO Good

    1st- (I came across this pod via the intentional parents podcast interview y’all did 🙌🏼so I have a lot of catching up to do). As a Christian mom, it’s refreshing to hear Christian men, specifically dads, share how they are doing it right, need improvement & how they are going through life trying to be good dads & godly men. 👏🏼The interviews are incredible and I enjoy hearing their experiences growing up and how it’s affected their parenting. The comedy in each episode makes it fun and light... more

  • i don’t even skip the ads

    i am a single 45-year-old mom so i am NOT the target. but i look forward to dave and jon every week. they are so ridiculously funny (i listen to the ads just to see how they’ll vibe off of each other), great hosts buy most importantly, such incredible husbands and dads. i hope to lead my son to be a Jesus-loving man like these two.

  • I love it!!!

    Now I know I’m not a dad, in fact I am a teenage girl, but I have found so much escape in this podcast. Whenever I’ve felt stressed or cynical I just put this podcast on and listen to talk being absolutely hilarious and I just instantly feel lighter. Also the episodes that are more parenting focused have been super helpful in understanding my parents and seeing things as they do. Thanks so much for your dedication to making peoples lives better and I’m rooting for y’all!
