Christian Dad's Podcast

James Pellicane unpacks four battlegrounds where real fathers are called to long-suffering: With God (when heaven feels silent) With the Church (when people act like… people) With our Career (when promotion is slow or never) With Each Other (spouse, kids, in-laws—the daily grind) Then he draws the line: the one place Scripture never asks us to be patient—with sin. Straight-talk, no fluff, and immediately usable. If you're tired of confusing patience with passivity, this episode gives every dad the biblical clarity and practical grit to suffer long where it counts… and stand firm where it doesn't.

Some truths feel like gravel in your mouth: "You're too harsh with the kids." "You're married to your phone." "You're not the hero you think you are." Most dads dodge, deflect, or defend. 1 Corinthians 13 says real love does the opposite—it rejoices when the truth shows up, even when it hurts. In this direct, no-sugar-coating message, James Pellicane shows why dodging truth keeps us stuck and how leaning into it (about ourselves, our sin, and especially about God) actually sets us free. You'll leave with practical ways to welcome hard feedback at home, celebrate truth instead of resenting it, and model humility for your wife and children. Short, honest, and liberating for any father ready to grow up instead of cover up.

Most keep a quiet running tab: the time she embarrassed you at the party, the kid who lied, the coworker who threw you under the bus. Every replay adds another drop of poison to your marriage, your parenting, and your own peace. In this straightforward message from 1 Corinthians 13, James Pellicane shows exactly what "love keeps no record of wrongs" looks like in real life—no fluff, no therapy-speak. You'll see how the mental scorecard works, why it feels justified, and—most importantly—how to delete the file for good. Practical steps any father can start today to quit punishing people for past sins (including yourself) and finally live free. If you're tired of old mistakes stealing today's joy, this one's for you.

In this laugh-out-loud (and wince-out-loud) message, James Pellicane maps the exact stages every father travels from calm to volcano: the slow simmer, the sarcastic comment, the raised voice, the slammed door—and the regret that always follows. More importantly, you will get battle-tested steps to short-circuit the cycle before you lose it with your wife or kids. No guilt trips, no "just honest stories, real Scripture, and simple moves any dad can start using. Perfect for the man who wants his family to remember his laugh more than his temper.

1 Corinthians 13 says love "does not act rudely." Translation for dads: put the phone down at dinner, quit the sarcastic "whatever," and stop treating your wife like tech support. In this funny-but-it-hurts message, James Pellicane holds up the mirror with zero guilt trips and a lot of laughs. You'll walk away with laugh-out-loud examples of everyday dad-rudeness, plus simple swaps that turn rude into respectful. Short, relatable, and instantly usable for any father who wants his home to feel like a safe place instead of a sitcom with a laugh track only he hears.

1 Corinthians 13 says love "does not boast, it is not proud." Most can quote it, but many still live with pride running in the background. This episode humerously shows how pride shows up in a dad's life: the need to be the smartest guy in the room, the quiet resentment when another father gets recognized, the refusal to admit we're wrong in front of our kids, the subtle one-up stories at the dinner table. More importantly, it gives the biblical remedy: cultivate a teachable spirit. When a dad stays willing to learn—from his wife, his children, other men, and especially from God—pride loses its foothold.

Most men quickly identify boasting in others yet miss it in themselves. This episode examines the spectrum—from overt bragging to subtle sulking and false modesty—and shows how each version undermines a father's influence at home. Listeners will learn to recognize these patterns in their own lives and understand the practical opposite: humility that builds trust with wife and children. Direct, no-nonsense teaching with clear takeaways for any dad who wants to lead without self-promotion.

Every dad feels it: that quiet sting when another father rolls up in the newer truck, posts the perfect vacation pics, or brags about his kid's scholarship. Envy doesn't announce itself with horns—it slips in as a whisper: "You should have that too." In this episode we pull the mask off envy: where it's born, how it grows, and why it's especially toxic for fathers who are supposed to model contentment for their families. Once you see the pattern, you can shut it down before it poisons your marriage, your joy, and your kids' view of success.

In this message, James take Ask, seek, knock and aim it straight at your real battles: the stalled project, the teenager's door, the dream you've outgrown. Persistence isn't grit-it's obedience.
