    Bret Green (Dad Got Bars): Redefining Fatherhood, Family, and Faith Through Hip-Hop

    Bret Green’s journey is one of fatherhood, growth, and courage. Known to millions as Dad Got Bars, his mix of music, honesty, and humor is reshaping how men talk about parenting and masculinity. Before becoming a viral voice for modern dads, Bret built a Hollywood career with roles in The Inspectors, How to Get Away with Murder, Stalker, and The Goldbergs. But it was fatherhood—not fame—that gave his life deeper meaning. In this conversation with Teko Bailey, Bret opens up about showing up fully for his kids, the humility of early fatherhood, and learning patience and purpose while home with his newborn daughter. Together, they unpack the real challenges men face—ego, expectations, and healing from absent or distant fathers—while exploring how to break generational cycles with empathy and shared responsibility. Bret’s reflections on marriage, the song “Child Support,” and supporting his wife through postpartum depression reveal a man intent on building a new model of love. His message is simple but profound: real strength is found in vulnerability, and fatherhood is sacred work.

    Brian Doerksen’s journey is one of faith, resilience, and love. Known worldwide for timeless worship anthems like Come Now Is the Time to Worship, Faithful One, and Hope of the Nations, Brian has spent over 35 years writing songs that carry people through both joy and grief. Behind the awards and global recognition lies a deeper story of brokenness, family, and learning to worship through pain. In this conversation with host Michael Wildes, Brian shares how songs like Hope of the Nations were birthed in the shadow of 9/11, and how Come Now Is the Time to Worship emerged during a season of financial collapse and personal struggle. He reflects on the whispers of God he first heard as a child under a ginkgo tree, and how music has remained a river of renewal throughout his life. Brian also opens up about raising two sons with Fragile X Syndrome, staying grounded through decades of marriage with his wife Joyce, and the way community, family, and long friendships have anchored him through an unpredictable creative journey. From writing worship music that circles the globe to creating an album about long love and an upcoming Christmas film, his climb reminds us that beauty can emerge from fragile places. For men navigating identity, purpose, and perseverance, Brian’s story is a testament to showing up with authenticity, staying faithful in love, and allowing God to turn brokenness into something enduring.

Known worldwide as a CrossFit Games champion and founder of NC Fit, Jason has spent nearly two decades at the intersection of fitness and personal development. But behind the podiums and gyms lies a deeper mission: helping men become protectors, providers, and present fathers. In this conversation with host Teko Bailey, Jason opens up about the men’s community he’s been leading in a parking lot every weekend—workouts followed by coffee that have connected dozens of men who once felt isolated. He shares how physical training is more than exercise; it’s a tool to build confidence, fight back against unhealthy crutches, and reclaim purpose as fathers, husbands, and leaders. From his daughter’s battle with leukemia to his work with law enforcement, Jason highlights how adversity can be met with strength and presence. He also reflects on the role of rites of passage, the importance of taking ownership, and how faith and calling shape his next chapter.

    18 SEPT

    Purpose, Parenting, and Perseverance with Juno Award Winner K-Anthony

    K-Anthony’s journey is one of faith, family, and perseverance. Growing up in Trelawny, Jamaica, his early identity was rooted in athletics—on track to follow in the footsteps of Usain Bolt’s alma mater. But a near-death experience at age twelve shifted everything. Calling on God for the first time, K-Anthony discovered that life’s true purpose wasn’t about talent or achievement, but about surrender and character. What followed was a transformation: from aspiring agronomist to gospel artist, from struggling student to Juno Award-winning musician, from gifted athlete to a father intent on raising children with honesty, humility, and faith. Along the way, mentors, hard lessons, and even grief redirected his path toward music and ministry. In this conversation with host Teko Bailey, K-Anthony opens up about the challenges of the music industry, the importance of therapy and healing, and how fatherhood keeps him grounded. He reminds us that giftedness is not the purpose—it’s the vehicle—and that legacy is measured not in trophies but in character. For men balancing fatherhood, calling, and faith, K-Anthony’s climb reveals that God’s guidance often comes in detours that lead us exactly where we’re meant to be.

    From Badminton to Brotherhood: Martin Strømberg’s Journey

    Martin Blaksker Strømberg’s story is one of sport, family, and transformation. Growing up in Denmark, he found his identity on the badminton court, where competition gave him confidence apart from his older brother’s shadow. But as life unfolded—through military service, teaching, and raising a family—Martin discovered that true leadership isn’t about always having the answer, but about listening and investing in people. His journey into coaching began on the sidelines of his son’s soccer games, where he realized that the most powerful coaching balances technical skill with emotional connection. Over time, he moved from assistant coach to head coach, responsible for youth teams in Denmark’s football federation, and became known for blending mentorship with care for both players and parents. In this conversation with host Teko Bailey, Martin shares how his wife Dorothe’ challenged him to grow as a man of faith, how vulnerability became strength, and how authentic listening reshaped his leadership. For men balancing fatherhood, calling, and faith, Martin’s climb reveals that legacy is built not in perfection, but in presence—being there, listening deeply, and walking the journey with others.

  6. Chase Kauhane, Musician & Songwriter (Olelo) | Ohana, Faith, and Purpose-Driven Music

    4 SEPT

    Chase Kauhane, Musician & Songwriter (Olelo) | Ohana, Faith, and Purpose-Driven Music

    Chase Kauhane’s story is one of resilience, family, and purposeful creativity. Raised on Hawai‘i’s Big Island in a musical household of nine siblings, he grew up surrounded by kani kapila—family jam sessions and songwriting. But at age 14, when his father left, Chase and his brothers faced a defining trial: living in tents while learning construction skills to build their mother’s home on the slopes of Mauna Kea. That season forged endurance, brotherhood, and a deep dependence on God. Out of that hardship came music with meaning. Chase and his brother Carl eventually formed Olelo, a band that draws listeners in with its Hawaiian roots while carrying a message of culture, legacy, and hope. Their songs have found homes in films and shows on Netflix, but Chase emphasizes that music only has power when it carries purpose. In this conversation with host Teko Bailey, Chase shares how timing, patience, and faith—like farming or fishing on the islands—have guided him as a musician, husband, and father. From serving people first in the music industry, to giving back by rebuilding homes in Lahaina after the Maui fires, his story reveals that legacy isn’t about spotlight moments but about building people, ohana, and community. For men balancing faith, family, and calling, Chase’s journey offers clarity: put ohana first, keep business at arm’s length, create space for God to move, and trust His timing.

    28 AUG

    Jacob Anglin Sonship Obedience and Calling

    Jacob Anglin’s story is one of endurance, obedience, and deep faith. Born with a serious intestinal disease, he spent much of his youth in and out of hospitals—facing near-death experiences, multiple surgeries, and a seven-year period of chronic bowel obstructions. Yet through every trial, he discovered perseverance, hope, and an intimacy with God that shaped his calling. In this conversation with host Teko Bailey, Jacob shares how those early battles forged his faith, why success is really about obedience and sonship, and how moments of risk—leaving a secure career in California, stepping into foreign nations, and writing his first book End Time Company—opened the door for God to reveal his strategy and governance. From supernatural healing to navigating seasons of transition, Jacob’s journey highlights the courage required to obey God when the outcome is uncertain. For men wrestling with purpose, leadership, or calling, this episode offers clarity: faithfulness and obedience are the true measures of success. If you’re in a season of shaking, transition, or simply asking “what’s next?”, Jacob’s story will challenge you to trust God’s timing, surround yourself with the right brothers, and root your identity in sonship, not assignments.

  8. From Control to Surrender — Tony Garay on Marriage, Money, and the Making of a Man

    21 AUG

    From Control to Surrender — Tony Garay on Marriage, Money, and the Making of a Man

    Tony didn’t plan to build a life around surrender. Early in marriage he made a countercultural choice—his wife would stay home—then walked straight into hardship: a father-in-law’s terminal diagnosis, his grandfather’s sudden death, and a long season of infertility. A chance visit to a church meeting in a movie theater opened the door to community and a deeper faith, but old patterns—control, image, the drive for money—followed him back to Miami. The result was shingles in his early 30s, a wake-up call that forced him to ask what God was actually asking of him. In this conversation with host Teko Bailey, Tony traces the long arc from self-reliance to submission: leaving a lucrative real-estate lane, returning to the Carolinas, taking a corporate detour, and finally answering an unexpected vocational call—roofing—where he discovered “marketplace ministry” and the freedom to put God, marriage, and fatherhood in their right order. Along the way he found brotherhood through F3 (Fitness, Fellowship, Faith), re-framed money as a tool rather than a master, and learned to design a family-first life without letting fear drive. If you’re a husband, father, or builder carrying quiet stress, this episode offers clear, tested practices: work on yourself more than the business, prioritize the household before the hustle, and trade control for daily submission—so your faith, marriage, and work can finally flow in the same direction.
