Christ is in our midst! Hey there, folks. Dave here – host of the Dad Devotionals Podcast. I’m here to let you know I’m excited for Season 2 of the podcast. I’m back from a hiatus where I focused on getting my MBA program done! It was a lot of work – a lot of writing – but very much a blessing. Praise God. But, I’m back and can’t wait for Season 2 of the podcast. I’m calling it – “An Exodus 90 Journey.” This season, I’ll take you through the ups and downs – wins and fails – of my participation in the popular men’s Christian development program – Exodus 90. If you haven’t heard of it – Exodus 90 – is a powerful 90-day spiritual exercise consisting of daily prayer, asceticism, and fraternity. The program summons men back to the foundations of their faith, stripping them of worldly addictions and reinvigorating their devotion to Christ. I hope you’ll join me in this journey – not just listening to the podcast – but actually join my Exodus 90 fraternity. You can sign up at the link on the pinned post at https://facebook.com/DadDevotionals. You’ll see it at the top. Or just go to https://app.exodus90.com/j/URZAZPP And – nope – I’m not getting any money from Exodus 90 to promote this. I don’t even think they know I’m doing it! I just thought – after all the devotion to my MBA program – it’s time to devote my time to prayer and family. Let’s do this together. God bless. Lord have mercy. Join me for the launch of Season 2 on the Facebook page – and let the men in your church know!

Jeff and Sarah Walton, authors of "Together Through the Storms: Biblical Encouragements for Your Marriage When Life Hurts," join Dave to discuss their new book and how they overcame issues in their own marriage. The Waltons both individually and as a couple dealt with incredible issues, including chronic illness, the after-effects of abuse, a child with neurological challenges, and financial difficulties. Despite this, they are still together and surviving because of their devotion to Christ. What's more is their book is a marriage guide focused on the Book of Job. You're not going to find many marriage books based on Job's life. However, that's what makes "Together Through the Storms" a must-read for any engaged or married couple.

Rashawn Copeland joins Dave on the show to discuss how we need to live out our belief in God and the Christian faith. Oftentimes, we profess what we believe, but we don't live it out other than on Sunday. Also, Rashawn fills us in on the details of his book, Start Where You Are: How God Meets You in Your Mess, Loves You through It, and Leads You Out of It, which is set to debut in September 2020. Pre-order your copy at https://amzn.to/2VFR9I4. Dave also reads John 2:1-11 where Jesus performs the miracle of turning water into wine at the wedding feast in Cana.

Have you ever noticed how devoted your wife is to your children? She goes about her day (either as a stay-at-home mother or working mother) and tirelessly gives to you and the children. If she stays at home, she tends to the kids just about 24/7. If she works outside the home, she likely works 8+ hours and then comes home-- and then takes care of the kids and housework. Moms just keep going because they know it's needed. We need to support that as their husbands, which I discussed in episode 18 (https://bit.ly/dd-18). But, perhaps more importantly, we need to support their time with God. That's the message from today's episode. Check out the article, "The Role of the Mother in Raising Children," mentioned at https://saintkosmas.com/st-paisios-the-role-of-the-mother-in-raising-children as well as the "Theotokos of the Life-giving Spring" article from https://www.goarch.org/chapel/saints?contentid=850&type=saints.

"Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" That's the message from Jesus in Matthew 6:27 NIV.  We are so consumed by worry and anxiety that we lose sight of what God does and who He is. Dave reads selections from Marcus Geromes' piece, "Anxiety and Our Life in Christ," and discusses a conversation he and an neighbor had about worry and Matthew 6.  Also, listen to the Bright Thursday readings from the Wisdom of Solomon (https://www.oca.org/readings/daily/2020/04/23/2).

As fathers and husbands, we are called to be role models to our children. We should exemplify how to pray, how to love, and how to forgive.

When Christ died for us, normal life came to an end. Our new normal is our life in Christ-- not some pandemic.

So, you thought Easter was yesterday? Well, not for us Orthodox Christians. Nope. Our Holy Week begins today and it all has to do with the calendars the east and west follow. Also, Dave shares a beautiful quote from the Wisdom of the Fathers Instagram account. It really sets the mood for the week and puts us all in the proper mindset. Be sure to check that out.

You may not be a party animal, but that doesn't mean you can't be a fun dad. No, that doesn't mean you need all the latest gadgets or toys. And it certainly doesn't mean you need to have a cook-out for the entire neighborhood. Instead, it's more about creating quality experiences with your children and making lasting memories that make them feel loved and valued. That's what truly matters. Dave shares that and more -- including Bible readings for April 10, 2020. Read the article, Dad Makes up for Canceled Disney Trip With DIY Splash Mountain Ride (along with the YouTube Channel for Disney Rides POV), mentioned in the broadcast and read today's scripture passage at Orthodox Church of America.

During this pandemic, we are being called to be obedient to our church leaders. In doing so, we are drawing closer to God in a way most of us have never experienced (including Dave). As Saint Macarius of Optina said, "Through unwanted sorrows and illnesses we draw closer to the Lord, for they humble us by constraint, and humility, when we acquire it, can save us even without works, according to St. Isaac the Syrian." Let us remember this as we continue toward Holy Week and read today's scripture readings for April 9, 2020.

As husbands and fathers, we are called to be stewards of our family. We're called to support them and not be a stumbling block on their spiritual journey. In this episode, Dave discusses how the Orthodox Christian husband sees his wife and how the "two become one flesh." Also, Dave reads from the Bible and shares some insight into his relationship with his wife. Read the article, How An Orthodox Husband Sees His Wife, mentioned in the broadcast and read today's scripture passage at Orthodox Church of America.

With the pandemic, it's not possible for new dads to be in the delivery room. Hospitals won't allow it. Not only is this difficult for the mother, of course, but dads have it tough as well. The day a child is born is a joyous occasion, and not being able to witness it and support your wife is unthinkable. We talk about how new dads can cope with this from an Orthodox perspective and how you can support your wife and new child.
