Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Catholic talk show today

We're gonna be talking about how we can become better fathers with the founder of Exodus James Baxter

That's right. We're gonna look at all the challenges struggles and opportunities to overcome our own personal nature and become the fathers that God

And tends us to be so we're gonna start with a question. Who's your daddy?

Alright, great to be back in the studio with you guys. James, welcome. It's always a pleasure to see your face and have you on the show again. It's been a long time. It has. Yeah, we've really developed an awesome

Friendship with James Baxter and the Exodus crew and we are so happy to be a part of that Exodus Solidarity that you've really generated and started in the Catholic Church

It's been incredible how many people have been impacted by this ministry. Yeah. Yeah, it's one I'm so humbled by that father rich

Thanks for for sharing that and and honestly Ryan Ryan father rich. It is a joy to be here for all the listeners being on this show

Is is the highlight of maybe the year. It's just so

Thanks for having me and can't wait to have a lot of fun today talking about something

Talk about fatherhood like and who who are daddy? Like we all have one father, right?

Is it would it be an appropriate to call you daddy rich instead of father? No, we're not doing that. We're not doing that. How about father daddy?

All right, I'm cool

But you know all of us as as brothers like you know, and this is just you know the friendship that we have around the table

Especially right now with James. It's like you know having that sense of who we are in relationship to our father in heaven and

Striving to emulate in our own fatherhood and that's what this show is going to be about is just really the experiences that we have

The limitations and the weakness that we have in our fatherhood and and really how we can take active steps in developing a virtuous

Fatherhood like our heavenly father. That's right. I think society and culture we're really at a crossroads right now in our

Understanding of fatherhood, right? It's under so much attack both in media both in what it's supposed to do

What the aim of fatherhood is and even how children are supposed to respond and it's one of the things that's maybe the most pressing

Need that we have is to reclaim a true sense of fatherhood not a fatherhood based on a false sense of masculinity

Not a fatherhood based off of a false sense that males are bumbling idiots the Homer Simpson
