Summary
- Could you tell us a little about your family and your ministry?
- How does your book and podcast help dad?
- In all the work you’ve done writing and producing the podcast, what are some of your favorite lessons you’ve learned about fatherhood from all your guests and all your research?
- What do new dads need to hear right now? How do they need to be encouraged and admonished?
- As a Christian, how are you thinking about fatherhood differently from someone who doesn’t follow Christ?
- How does a father raise kids who have their identity in Jesus?
- What does spiritual leadership look like for you in your house and how has it changed as your kids have grown up?
- What are some of the struggles you have when it comes to leading your kids? What are you hoping your kids aren’t going to learn from you?
- If a mom or wife is listening and their husband is not spiritually engaged in their family, how would you advise her, what wisdom do you have for her?
- If a dad listening is having a real battle with his own guilt, about his own struggles around leadership, how would you encourage him?
- Why do you think it’s so easy for men to choose other things over their families?
- If you think about our generation of fathers how would you commend them? What would you say needs to be changed?

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Family Discipleship podcast, a podcast of Training the Church. |
| 0:13.7 | We are partnering with God to raise disciples and to shape their heart. |
| 0:19.2 | And we have no control over their heart. We can't change their heart. There's only one heart changer, and that's Jesus. All of spiritual leadership is just taking initiative. It's not being the best theologian in the house. It's not having all the scripture memorized. It's not being the Bible answer guy, although all those things are awesome. Really, it's just the one that's going to take initiative. |
| 0:38.9 | Like, hey, I'll wake up and make sure we get to church. |
| 0:40.8 | I'll wake up and read the Bible. |
| 0:42.3 | Do I know everything that they talked about? No, and I'm okay telling my kids. I don't really understand that either, but let's just keep reading. Ask the Spirit to reveal it to us. Hey, this is Adam Griffin, and I'm here with my lovely co-host and wife, Mrs. Chelsea Griffin. |
| 0:59.9 | How you doing today, Chelsea? |
| 1:01.1 | On top of the world. |
| 1:02.2 | Happy to be here. |
| 1:03.1 | I'm so glad you're with us. |
| 1:04.3 | And speaking of glad to have with us, we have today author and father-oficionado podcast master Jared Lopes. Jared. |
| 1:14.8 | This guy. How you doing? Oh, man, that's way too big of an introduction. I should have said |
| 1:21.5 | gator wrestler. Also like, yeah, that would feel even more accurate than dad, whatever you said. |
| 1:27.0 | Yeah. Well, Jared was telling us than dad, whatever you said. Yeah. |
| 1:44.2 | Well, Jared was telling us this morning he has an eight-foot gator in his backyard that he likes to tease with a drone and soccer ball and sometimes with his children playing. But that is that is a different life. Dallas, we don't have a lot of gators. You're not scared, though. You don't seem scared at all. Not even a little bit. No, man. Actually, the most scared I got was not my kids. |
| 1:45.5 | My wife was way too bold. |
| 1:44.8 | She, like, went down to the pond and was like, she's like, my wife is like Ace Ventura Woman Edition. And she's just, she's way into animals. Anyway, that was the most scared I ever got. I was, like, yelling at her more than I was yelling at my kids. I think when I picture a female version of Ace Ventura, just liking animals isn't the first |
| 2:03.9 | thing that comes to mind. But I love that. I hope that's a compliment. Well, this is Father's Day |
| 2:09.7 | week. You got big Father's Day plans this week? No. Actually, I just booked my wife a ticket to go back |
| 2:15.9 | to the West Coast to visit family. Her sister's graduating |
| 2:19.2 | college. So I will be alone. Just me and the kids, I'm going to go full Father's Day by myself. |
| 2:24.6 | I love that. Well, okay, you're here to talk a lot about fatherhood, and we're excited about that. |
