    The Magic 5:1 Ratio - Ep. #27

    What is the Magic 5:1 Ratio? It's an incredibly effective relationship principle that has helped countless families since it was first studied by Dr. John Gottman and Robert Levenson in the 1970s. The Magic 5:1 Ratio helps ensure that interactions with our family are overwhelmingly positive, which helps us build strong connections with our spouse and kids. Strong connections help lead to happy marriages, successful kids, and strong, loving families. Join Michael on this episode of The Dadventures Podcast as he explains what the Magic 5:1 Ratio is and how you can use it to build stronger relationships with your own family!

    New Creation - Ep. #26

    The devil wants to make us feel inadequate as dads, husbands, and followers of Jesus. He wants to remind us of our past sins and failures, keeping us trapped in our guilt and shame. But Jesus came to make us new—to free us from our guilt, our shame, and our sin. And Spring is a great reminder for us and our kids that God is in the business of making everything new. Join Michael on this episode of The Dadventures as he reminds you of this powerful truth and shows you how to teach it to your kids!

    Don't Walk in Darkness - Ep. 23

    Several years ago, I tried to hike back to my truck in the dark. Through the woods. Without any light. Let's just say, it didn't go well. But I did learn a valuable lesson: don't walk in darkness. That isn't just an important lesson for hiking; it's an important lesson for life. So many people are trying to walk through life without any light, but it doesn't have to be this way! Join Michael on this episode of The Dadventures Podcast as he shares what hiking in complete darkness taught him about faith and fatherhood.
