  • Privileged to be a guest

    When Ned first asked me to join his podcast, I was super nervous. What do I know about being a dad? Ned instantly made me feel comfortable, and with his easygoing style and great wisdom (along with help from God through a lot of prayer), we had an amazing conversation that I think will encourage a lot of dads out there. I highly recommend this podcast!
