In this episode of Father and Friend, Tim Anderson sits down with Jeremy, a husband, father of two, and dedicated church member, to discuss fatherhood, faith, and the intentional choices that shape a family. Jeremy shares his powerful journey from growing up without a dad to becoming an intentional father, the struggles he’s faced, and the practical habits that help him lead his family with love and humility.

Jeremy opens up about his childhood without a father, the challenges of step-parent relationships, and how those experiences pushed him to redefine what it means to be a godly dad. He talks candidly about losing his temper, confronting pride, and learning to embrace self-control through God’s guidance and the fruits of the Spirit.

We dive into how Jeremy and his wife create rhythms of prayer, family fun nights, and non-screen activities to strengthen their family bond. He also shares the difficult career transition from TV production to trucking, and how God provided both financially and spiritually through that leap of faith. Along the way, Jeremy reflects on biblical principles of servant leadership, practical parenting habits, and the importance of making time for yourself so you can pour into your family.

Whether you’re a dad looking for encouragement, a husband seeking to grow in servant leadership, or simply someone who wants to live intentionally for your family, this conversation offers wisdom, vulnerability, and hope.

This episode is full of practical wisdom and honest conversation every dad can relate to.

In this episode of Father and Friend, host Tim Anderson sits down with new father Wayne to discuss his powerful journey from hip hop culture and New Age spirituality to discovering faith in Christ, embracing fatherhood, and redefining family values.

Wayne shares an honest and compelling story of his life—from growing up in Zimbabwe and England, to facing bullying, immersing himself in hip hop culture, and producing music that shaped his worldview. He reflects on how media, music, and culture often replaced the guidance of his father, leading him into destructive patterns.

During the COVID-19 era, Wayne’s worldview was challenged, pushing him to explore conservative voices, self-improvement, and eventually New Age spirituality. But after terrifying spiritual experiences in Bali, Wayne and his wife encountered what they describe as spiritual attacks that ultimately led them to Christianity.

Now a husband and father to a newborn daughter, Wayne shares how his faith in Christ reshaped his perspective on family, parenting, and culture. He emphasizes the biblical call for fathers to disciple their children, protect them from harmful influences, and lead their homes with love, discipline, and faith.

This raw and inspiring conversation covers themes of fatherhood, faith, culture, parenting, media influence, spiritual transformation, and discipleship, offering valuable insights for dads and families navigating today’s world.
