    The Value Of Married Friends

    This special episode of Authentically Adam features a rich and meaningful conversation with three guests who bring both personal insight and shared experience to the table. Wayne is joined by his wife, Shana Kaye, along with their close friends, Dave and Nicci Leonard.

These friendships help navigate the complexities of marriage, strengthen communication, and provide a network of people who truly understand the joys and struggles that come with building a life together.

    Dads That Pray

    In this episode, Wayne challenges men to embrace one of the most powerful and formative disciplines in the Christian life: prayer. More than a private spiritual habit, prayer is something our families—especially our children—need to see and hear from us regularly. When fathers pray, they model dependence on God, humility before Him, and confidence in His care. Wayne acknowledges that prayer does not always come easily. At times, believers struggle with uncertainty, distraction, or even spiritual apathy. Yet those moments are often when prayer is needed most. Rather than allowing discomfort or hesitation to silence us, we must push through those feelings and intentionally speak to God, trusting that He hears and cares. The episode also explores several key dispositions of prayer found in Jesus’ model prayer in Matthew 6:9–13. In this well-known passage, Jesus teaches that prayer should reflect reverence for God’s holiness, submission to His will, trust in His daily provision, humility in seeking forgiveness, and a desire for spiritual protection. Through this discussion, Wayne reminds listeners that prayer shapes both the one who prays and those who are watching. When children grow up seeing their fathers regularly turn to God, they learn that faith is not merely something we talk about—it is something we live. This episode serves as both an encouragement and a challenge for men to lead their families by cultivating a life of sincere, consistent prayer.

    Dads That Worship (Authentically Adam S13E6)

    What habits, hobbies, or interests did you pick up because of your dad? For most of us, it doesn’t take long to think of something. Maybe it’s the way you follow a particular sports team, the way you approach work, the music you enjoy, or even the way you spend your weekends. Fathers have a unique way of shaping the rhythms and priorities of our lives, often without realizing just how deeply their influence runs. That idea serves as the starting point for this week’s episode. This week, Wayne explores how the influence of a father goes far beyond hobbies or shared interests. Children are constantly watching what their dads value most. They notice what gets their father’s time, attention, and enthusiasm. Those notice if their dad love to worship the Lord or not. . When children see their dads investing in their relationship with God—prioritizing the assembly, engaging in worship, and speaking about spiritual things—it communicates something incredibly important: that faith is not merely a duty but a deeply valued part of life. Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that some of the most important lessons fathers teach are the ones their children see lived out week after week. When dads make worship a priority and demonstrate a genuine love for God, they are shaping the faith of the next generation in ways that may last a lifetime. Join us for a thoughtful discussion about the influence of fathers, the power of example, and why children need to see their dads leading the way in worship.

    The Transformation of Apollos

    Transformation is accomplished in smalls steps and single decisions. Sometimes transformation is not about major changes, but about a singular adjustment. Wayne notes this reality by considering the example of Apollos in Acts 18. The primary reason Apollos was transformable is because was teachable. He was willing to receive instruction and accept correction. True masculinity allows us to acknowledge our limitations and to accept the help needed to change.
