Halloween can raise some tough questions for Christian families. How do we honor our convictions, guide our children, and love our neighbors when we approach the holiday differently?

Andy Dalton welcomes Justin Moore to Strong Dads for an honest conversation about faith, Halloween, and intentional fatherhood. They share two different family approaches: one centered on welcoming neighbors with generosity and Scripture, and another focused on an alternative family evening that reinforces their children’s identity in Christ.

Through passages including John 17:14–16, 1 Peter 2:9, and Ephesians 6, Andy and Justin explore what it means to be set apart, recognize spiritual warfare, and represent Jesus in everyday decisions.

You’ll hear practical encouragement for praying with your spouse, explaining family boundaries, having age-appropriate conversations, and building a foundation of faith in your children.

As you listen, consider: Have we prayerfully thought through our family’s choices, and how can we use this season to reflect the love of Christ?

Strong Dads exists to equip, encourage, and strengthen fathers and all men in the ways of Christ. To learn more about Strong Dads, go check them out on FaceBook or go to Rock Solid Families website: https://www.rocksolidfamilies.org/

In this episode of Strong Dads, Andy Dalton sits down with Jack Phillips to have an honest conversation about Ephesians 6:4:

Andy and Jack come from two very different stages of fatherhood—Andy is raising young children, while Jack has adult children and grandchildren. Together, they share real stories, mistakes, lessons learned, and practical encouragement for dads who want to raise their children in a way that honors Christ.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What it actually means to provoke our children to anger
• Why our children need both structure and encouragement
• Learning to recognize when we need to step away and cool down
• The power of speaking life over our children
• Why our kids often watch what we do more than they listen to what we say
• Being intentional with our time and slowing down enough to truly connect
• How dads can model what it looks like to follow Jesus
• The importance of having other godly men speak into our children's lives
• Why we don't need to be perfect fathers—we need to be fathers who are willing to pursue Christ and keep growing

Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that fatherhood isn't about getting everything right. It's about pursuing Christ, pursuing our children, admitting when we fall short, and continually becoming the fathers God has called us to be.

“Have I spoken love and encouragement to my kids? Have I spent intentional time praying over them? Am I affirming who God created them to be? And am I teaching my kids about God by the way that I live?”

If you're a dad—or simply a man who wants to grow in your relationship with Christ—this conversation is for you.
