Fatherhood: Perspectives on Righteous Intentional Parenting
A podcast based the perspective of fathers on the concept of Righteous and Intentional Parenting. Joseph Winkle and Taylor Greenhalgh (both fathers) have some fun discussing parenting and some of their own success and failures as dads. In several episodes, you'll probably hear the perspective of wives and mothers, as well as other knowledgeable guest experts. The podcast is for anyone who is now, or is aspiring to become, a parent. The subject is approached from the idea that parenting is a divine responsibility. These discussions are moderated by two men, fathers with children of widely varying ages, who take being a dad seriously - but don't always take themselves too seriously.
