Summary
Jeremy Pryor reacts to 2 recent videos on topics important for Christian dads to consider, joined by fellow dads Phil Goodwin and Phil Cotnoir.
Today's discussion includes attachment theory, what the "ideal" or "mature" version of masculinity and fatherhood really looks like, how to become a coach (not a babysitter) as a father, and how to balance being like Jesus with an intellectual belief in Jesus.

11:01 The difference lifespan makes to multigenerational family
16:01 Rediscovering masculinity and the role of a father
22:45 "Rediscovering" Scriptural truth through science...and the limitations of research
28:59 The first step to recovering the role of "coach" as a father
34:12 Jordan Peterson and Russell Brand on the mistake of faith as mouthing a set of presuppositions

| 0:00.0 | One of the things that's made me hypersensitive to is premature death. |
| 0:04.8 | Because I think that it's very difficult. |
| 0:06.8 | Like when I think about the difference between dying when I'm 60 or dying when I'm 90 |
| 0:10.3 | and trying to lead a multi-generational family, it is night and day. |
| 0:14.4 | Because you can imagine that those 30 years that I might or might not have, |
| 0:18.4 | we'll see, God willing. |

| 1:04.2 | about both sides of the equation, but sometimes it's nice to just dial into one of the other. |
| 1:09.6 | And so I've got a couple old dads on the line with me right now. |
| 1:12.5 | We got Phil Goodwin from Athens, Georgia, and Phil Cot Noir from Canada. |
