    Relatable and Challenging
    Excellent show for the man’s man. Outstanding biblical insight from real fathers and husbands who really care(and love sports) Humility with realism. Makes me better every time I listen.

    This podcast is great for people all ages! There is generation wisdom on this podcast, whether it’s personal experience from middle aged men or shared experiences from their children and their elders. There’s just lots of wisdom, and generational wisdom!

    This podcast has continued to get better and better. The conversations are deep, the belief is strong and the wisdom shared is so good. Just finished the episodes with Sage Steele. Wow! That was powerful.

  • Hodi5555
    My favorite podcast
    This is my go to podcast. I cry, laugh and get so much inspiration from this podcast. Thanks for reading scripture and tying real life into it.
  • AngeloSciandra
    Thank you!
    This might be my first review on anything, ever. I started listening to the podcast 3 months ago, and am episode 42. Pastor J, and David Pollack so such a great job diversify how they get across the Bible, parenting, joy, roles, and a lot more. They incorporate so many life skills and concepts that helps me grow in many ways. These fellas would love to know they strengthened my relationship with God and Jesus!👍 Thank you!!
  • cblack indiana
    So valuable
    Thank you so much for this podcast! I so appreciate having God-fearing man help me strengthen my relationship with my wife and my kids. Thank you thank you thank you! Keep up the good work.
  • Erikalynn21
    Love love loveee this podcast
    I just found this podcast 2weeks ago and I am 20 episodes in. My fiancé and myself have just moved and just found a new home church and I am trying to incorporate church in our house. This was never done for me growing up, nor my fiancé, and none of this has been done for his son in either household. I have used some of these episodes as guidelines to do this, as well as being a good bonus mom. When I hear a good one that I think my S.O. needs to hear I will re listen to it with him and then discuss the episode together. Listening to y’all makes me wish that I lived in Georgia and could attend church with y’all and your families
  • Laurence Guisinger
    Hits on so many levels
    As a man, husband, father, pastor, sports fan this podcast hits home on a variety of levels. I appreciate the realness of everyone on the podcast. Thanks for being passionate, Christ-cemeteries, honest, vulnerable, real, and hilarious.
  • Italianrunner
    Incredible Blessing!
    Not enough words to truly explain the truths and enlightening wisdom shared by all in this amazing podcast. To be honest, on one hand I wish growing up I was surrounded by such Christ like minded people. I’ll probably would have less regrets in my life. At the same time it gives me hope that there are many men of GOD out there, that society doesn’t really want to talk about, that are constantly seeking to be true men of GOD and therefore men of valor. I truly appreciate you all for following the Holy Spirit to share your personal life moments, which are immeasurable blessings for so many men and families in our country and in the world. Keep fighting the good fight! GOD BLESS! Luigi

    Uplifting
    This is a great Podcast for every day life. Love the conversation between Paster J and Davey. Also love that the producers also share their experiences.
  • Photosbyjohng
    David Pollack - Dawg, ESPN super star, Georgia born and breed, Christian!
    I’m biased… I’m a big dog fan! Love David Pollack in Kirk Herbstreit on game day. I think they love it when their alma mater do you well but they’re not afraid to say if they don’t believe they’re going to win. And to find out that David Pollick is not only a DGD he’s also an unembarrassed Christian. Love the podcast You too Pastor J ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • CYCLONES62
    So good!
    For a long time I’ve looked for a Christian podcast that was real and not so stereotypical. I have finally found it. The wisdom and authenticity from two men that are in the next two stages of life from me is refreshing to hear!
  • DoctorEdison
    Great Podcast
    This is a great podcast. I love the authenticity that each of these gentlemen have. I love the conversations about being a parent and what all parents are going through. Thanks for doing another season.
  • blakesterb
    Five Star
    Love the message David and Pastor J bring in these conversations each week. Just binged the season 2 I was behind on. Loved the episodes with the wives. Got my wife to listen in on those. Such good truths.
  • M_Thompson40
    Ready for more content
    Really really enjoy this podcast. Opens up great conversations with my husband. Hope more content is in the future!
  • Rowdydawg35
    Great pod
    This is great pod learned a lot of things to use in my marriage
  • LJVari
    Love it!!
    I have been listening to the podcast in the car with my son. As a single mom, I’m finding great value in my son hearing the conversations between David & Pastor J. There are things that I’ve told my son over and over (choosing friends wisely, attitude/effort are more important than victory) which he just kind of brushes off. When he hears this in the podcast he perks up a little bit and it’s making a bigger impression than just me telling him. Episodes are funny, but also provide biblical advice and they are authentic. Love it!!

    More of the producer, Joelan.
  • CoachScoggins
    Amazing
    Love the perspective from Pastor J and Davie. We all need to work together as brothers and sisters in Christ to raise our children up as He intended. Grateful y’all are sharing some wisdom! Even though as a Tech fan Its hard to give credit to a pup🤣
  • Al21sm
    Great podcast!
    Great podcast! Can’t wait for the next one!
  • _Summy_
    Godly Perspective, Lots of Laughs
    I enjoyed this podcast immensely! It’s refreshing to hear personal stories of mistakes and failures from people you admire; very relatable (and often hilarious)! A great reminder that we’re not perfect, and we’re not expected to be. The advice is Godly, doctrinally-sound, and delivered in a way that doesn’t feel condescending or “preachy”. Some Christian podcasts leave me feeling “heavy”, but Family Goals left me feeling “seen” and inspired. Davey and Pastor J do an excellent job simply being themselves. It feels authentic and honest. I usually speed up my podcasts to 1.5x, but I didn’t for Family Goals; I wanted to catch all the details, especially the stories! I do wish the episodes were a bit longer, and I’d love to hear marriage-centered conversations in the future. Their episodes stand out from other podcasts in the same genre; they have a unique vibe and conversational style that’s enjoyable for the audience. Looking forward to future content!
  • Jessiekay13

    Family Goals
    We need to help our kids set goals and help them be accountable in a loving positive way.
  • Justamom2.0
    Funny and oh, so practical!
    This podcast is the perfect recipe for practical parenting. It’s clever and witty with a sprinkle of self-deprecating humor and a dash of spiritual guidance. I actually caught myself laughing out loud a couple times. Worth it.
