    2026/02/13

    In this episode of the Foundational Fathers Podcast, Nick and Marcus sit down with author, worship leader, and preacher Navontae Hamp to tackle a crucial question every man must face: Is inspiration enough—or are we willing to pursue transformation?

Together, the conversation challenges fathers and leaders to move beyond emotional moments and step into intentional living through faith, community, and mentorship. This episode is a call to stop admiring change and start walking it out.

  • Foundational Fathers Podcast — Where Was God When…
    2026/02/06

    In this episode of the Foundational Fathers Podcast, hosts Nick Sash and Jamie Hansen sit down with comedian John Branyan to wrestle with one of the most common—and painful—questions men ask in moments of loss, disappointment, and silence: “Where was God when…?”Through honest conversation, biblical truth, and well-timed humor, the guys explore how God’s silence does not mean His absence. John shares how humor has helped him navigate suffering, process grief, and point people toward hope. This episode reminds us that faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting God even when the story doesn’t make sense yet.Key TakeawaysEvery man has asked, “Where was God when…?”Silence does not mean God is absent.Humor can be a powerful tool for navigating suffering.Suffering produces perseverance—and ultimately hope.God’s plans often differ from our expectations.Faith means trusting God when understanding is limited.We often overlook the gifts God has already given us.God is present even when we feel alone.Trials can strengthen and refine our faith.When we cry out, God is near to the brokenhearted.Sound Bites“Silence doesn’t mean absence.”“God is not far from you.”“Call out to God—He will hear you.”Season 4 Episode 5Chapters00:00 – Introduction00:56 – Exploring the Question: Where Was God When?02:49 – Guest Roast04:33 – Dad Jokes06:30 – What Makes a Dad Joke a Dad Joke08:20 – What About Mom Jokes?11:47 – Finding Hope in Suffering and Trials17:35 – Finding Joy in Difficult Seasons18:55 – The Impact of Silence on Faith20:59 – Recognizing God’s Sustaining Presence22:14 – Navigating Life’s Unexpected Challenges24:19 – Understanding God’s Sovereignty26:29 – The Nature of Faith and Trust29:28 – Prayers and Outcomes: A Complex Relationship31:42 – Evidence of God’s Presence33:31 – Returning to Faith After Straying43:20 – John’s Final Word45:53 – Call to Follow52:25 – Outro🤝 Sponsor Links — Support & Give Back🦍 Sasquatch Gun Oil👉 https://sasquatchgunoil.orgUse code FFP316 for 10% off🪵 Pretty Good Wood Turning👉 https://tinyurl.com/prettygoodwtTurning scraps into handcrafted works with purpose⛳ HiJo Gurl Golf Apparel👉 https://hijogurl.comConfidence on and off the course🏡 Legendary Real Estate Media👉 https://www.thelegenderry.comReal estate media made easy📖 Support the MissionHelp share God’s Word through the One Million Bibles Initiative👉 https://intentionallyuncommoninitiative.com📘 Books by Nick SashUnmuted & The River Between Us👉 https://tinyurl.com/TMBP-Bookstore🎸 More from TheMuteBassPlayerMusic, devotionals, and creative content👉 Subscribe on YouTube🙏 Join the MovementIf this episode encouraged you, LIKE, COMMENT, & SUBSCRIBEJoin the #FoundationalFathers movement as we pursue faith, family, and discipleship together.🔗 Connect With Us📘 Facebook — Foundational Fathers Podcast📸 Instagram — @uncmndads📺 Watch on FaithPoints TV👉 https://faithpoints.org/TV-Ministry

  • Foundational Fathers Podcast — Resist
    2026/01/23

    In this episode of the Foundational Fathers Podcast, hosts TheMuteBassPlayer and Marcus The Phillipian tackle a reality every man faces after making commitments to change: resistance. After the reset and restructure, resistance shows up quietly—through temptation, discomfort, and compromise.


    Special guest Hezron Gomez joins the conversation to unpack why resistance isn’t a setback—it’s often confirmation that growth is happening. Together, they explore surrender, accountability, spiritual discipline, and the power of community in staying close to Christ when the pressure rises.


    This episode challenges listeners to resist the drift, confront quiet compromises, and pursue transformation with humility and support.


    🔑 Key Takeaways

    Resist the drift by staying close to Christ

    Resistance often means you’re moving in the right direction

    Surrendering pride is where healing begins

    Quiet compromises can be more dangerous than loud failures

    Community is essential for accountability and growth


    🎯 Sound Bites

    “Restructure is the plan, but resistance is the pressure.”

    “Resistance isn’t funny when it’s costing you peace.”

    “No resistance means we’re still in the comfort zone.”
