The Power Of Vulnerability [S01E14]

What’s good Fathers! Well this is it. The Season 1 Finale, and man do we have a juicy one. We are talking about vulnerability. I know…I cringed at the thought of it too. Exposing my pain. Being emotional. Allowing my sensitive side to show. These aren’t things fathers do! Or are they? On this Episode, Gladys and I discuss this needed, yet challenging topic around being vulnerable. I will be the first to admit this is a real challenge for me. I was not raised to be that type of man. Yet day after...

How To Affirm Your Child [S01E11]

What’s good Fathers! Do you believe in life defining moments? Those times where you knew it was a pivotal turning point in who you were to become. We all have them. Marriage. Career transition. Having children. Yet, it doesn’t stop there. I learned this truth all too well with Kyndall, my soon to be 8-year old. She is constantly stretching me as a father whether she knows it or not (I think she does). One area that is extremely important for her is receiving affirmations; knowing without a shado...

How To Achieve Excellence For Your Children [S01E09]

What’s good y’all! Achieving excellence is no short task. It requires discipline, grit, and an unyielding drive to impact in a significant way. One of my favorite persons that displays this type of character is Tony Dungy. He’s a man that always puts his principles into practice no matter if it's at home, on the football field, or as an NFL commentator. The excellence he and so many other fathers achieve though does not happen overnight. There is no magic solution. It simply means showing up put...

Fathermore with Rev. Kris Cooper [S1E6]

You know what one of my favorite drinks is? A half-n-half! It’s a blend of half lemonade and half tea. Honestly I am not a fan of tea at all, but when its blended with some good lemonade…watch out. Another popular blend is the family. A blended family is simply parents and children combined from previous/current relationships. Being in a blended family can be tough. Knowing what role to play as a non-biological parent. Wondering if a child is being treated more or less fairly than another. How t...

Fathermore with Chad Keyser [S1E3]

Isn’t it great when you can sit down with someone and instantly connect? That's exactly what happened on this interview. I met Chad when I had the opportunity to preach at his church around Easter. Immediately we hit it off. I could tell he was a man of insight and genuineness. I think you will agree when you hear him talk about his family, and perspectives on life. We laughed a lot. I mean a lot. Yet at the same time, he gave us some “Sirloin Tips” any father would appreciate. Listen in as Chad...

Fathermore with Pastor Baron Young [S1E2]

What does Yul Brynner, a tennis racket and Chinese proverbs have to do with being a father? I don’t know but my former Pastor found a way to tie them all in to one podcast. Rev. Dr. Baron Young is one of my favorite men in the entire world. He is the pastor of the One and Only St. James (Green Street) in Havre De Grace, MD. He’s compassionate, witty, intentional and has a wealth of knowledge. He is also one of the chief reasons The Fathermore Podcast exists. You’ll find out why soon. Join in, as...

Fathermore with Dee Black [S1E1]

I get it. Being a father is an amazing responsibility. Still, it’s tough. You don’t always get it right. You miss things. You say the wrong words. But that’s okay. You’re not alone. I couldn’t think of a better person to kick off The Fathermore Podcast than with my brother, Dee Black. Dee Black is CEO and founder of HISstory Music Group. He minces no words about it. He loves Christ. He loves his family. He loves to rap. When you put all that together, you get something truly epic. I met Dee a fe...
