By Faith...Building a Legacy that Endures

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.

The Destruction of Disagreement

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.

The sin of feminism

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.

I Have Finished the Race: Consistency Over Speed

In this episode, we reflect on Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 4 — not as a victory lap of perfection, but as a testimony of perseverance, faithfulness, and steady obedience over time. Many dads start strong… but fewer finish steady. We talk about the difference between sprinting through seasons of fatherhood and faithfully running the long race God has placed before us.

This conversation encourages dads to value presence over intensity, consistency over emotional bursts, and long-term faithfulness over short-term momentum. We also discuss what it means to “keep the faith,” not as flawless belief, but as resilient trust sustained by the grace of God.

Christmas in Genesis, Part 3: The Blessing of a Coming King

📖 EPISODE OVERVIEW

Christmas doesn’t begin in Bethlehem—it begins with a promise.

In this final episode of Christmas in Genesis, Dave and Dante unpack Judah’s prophecy from Genesis 49, where Jacob speaks of a coming King whose reign will never end. This ancient blessing points directly to Jesus, the Lion of Judah, and reveals what true kingship looks like—strength under control, authority with humility, and leadership rooted in sacrifice.

For fathers, this passage challenges how we think about power, leadership, and legacy in our homes.

👑 KEY SCRIPTURE

“The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until he comes to whom it belongs;
and the obedience of the nations shall be his.”
— Genesis 49:10

🛠 PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS

• Reflect on how you use authority in your marriage and parenting

• Ask where God may be calling you to lead with humility rather than control

• Model repentance and courage for your children

• Point your family toward Christ—the true King—this Christmas season

Christmas in Genesis, Part 2: Messy Families, Merciful God

📖 Episode Overview

When we think of Christmas, we often picture peace, perfection, and tidy manger scenes. But when we look back to Genesis, we find something very different — broken people, dysfunctional families, and repeated failure.

In this episode of the Christmas in Genesis series, Dave and Dante walk through the messy family tree that leads to Jesus and reveal a powerful truth every dad needs to hear:

God doesn’t wait for perfect families — He works through broken ones.

From Abraham’s deception, to Jacob’s favoritism, to Judah’s moral collapse, Genesis makes one thing clear: the line of the Messiah is anything but clean. And that’s exactly the point.

🔎 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why God intentionally chose flawed men and families to bring forth the Savior

• How Genesis dismantles the myth of the “perfect dad”

• What Judah’s story teaches us about repentance, responsibility, and redemption

• How God’s mercy shows up again and again in generational brokenness

• Why Christmas is ultimately a story of grace, not genetics

🧬 Key Passages Discussed

• Genesis 12; 16; 27; 37–38 — A family marked by deceit, favoritism, and sin

• Genesis 38 — Judah, Tamar, and the unexpected path of redemption

• Matthew 1:1–6 — The Messiah’s genealogy includes scandal, outsiders, and grace

• Romans 5:8 — God’s mercy meets us in our mess

👨‍👩‍👧 Application for Dads

This episode speaks directly to men who feel the weight of their failures:

• You don’t need a perfect past to lead well today

• God can redeem your mistakes and use them for good

• Your repentance matters more than your record

• Faithfulness now can change the legacy of generations to come

If you’ve ever felt disqualified as a husband or father, this conversation reminds you that God specializes in restoring broken men and broken families.

🔥 Big Takeaway

Christmas didn’t come through perfect people — it came through repentant ones.
God’s mercy is bigger than your mess, and His redemption reaches further than your failure.
