    Masculinity Wars: Why Your Son Is Being Recruited by Both Andrew Tate AND Gender Studies Professors

    Your son is being recruited. The question is: by whom? Andrew Tate says be dominant. Progressive culture says masculinity is toxic. Your teenage son is caught between extremes, and honestly—so are you. Join a father of two boys in a raw exploration of raising young men when the culture wars have made masculinity itself a battlefield. No easy answers, just honest wrestling with what Biblical manhood looks like when both the manosphere and gender studies professors are wrong. Discover why John Eldredge's "wild heart," Piper's sacrificial leadership, and Keller's gospel-centered approach offer a third way—Kingdom masculinity that's neither domineering nor diminished. Learn practical approaches for when your son discovers red pill content, questions traditional roles, or asks what kind of man he should become in 2025. For: Christian fathers, parents of teenage boys, men navigating modern masculinity, anyone concerned about young men's development Send us a text Please join me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/kingdom.dad.roars/

    Stop Protecting Your Kids From Hard Things: (You're Making Them Weak)

    Your love is making your kids weak. And it's time someone told you. You're emailing teachers for extensions. Dropping off forgotten lunches at school. Managing their homework calendar. Rescuing them from every consequence. You think you're being an involved father. You're actually creating a child who can't function without you. In this hard-hitting 20-minute episode, host Ronnie Armijo shares the wake-up call that changed everything: The day he realized he wasn't preparing his son for life—he was crippling him. How constantly rescuing his 14-year-old from forgotten textbooks, missed assignments, and natural consequences was building a teenager who couldn't remember anything... because he never had to. You'll discover: Why divorced dads fall into the "rescue trap" harder than anyone (and how guilt drives you to overcompensate)The three levels of struggle every kid MUST experience to become a capable adultWhat happens when you picture your 19-year-old at college with no dad to rescue them—and why that image should terrify youThe exact conversation to have with your kids when you stop doing things for them they should do themselvesHow letting your child fail a class might be the greatest gift you ever give themWhy "I forgot" should never be an acceptable excuse—and what to do when your kid uses itThis isn't gentle parenting advice. This is a wake-up call. The real world doesn't care about your child's excuses. Their future boss won't accept "I forgot." Their college professor won't give extensions because they "need extra support." Their landlord won't waive late fees because life got hard. If you don't teach them to handle consequences now—when stakes are low and you're there to help them process failure—life will teach them when stakes are high and you're nowhere to be found. Perfect for: Divorced dads tempted to overcompensate with constant rescuingFathers who manage their kids' lives more than their ownMen raising teenagers who can't seem to remember basic responsibilitiesDads tired of being their child's personal delivery serviceAny father brave enough to ask: "Am I helping or am I hurting?"Warning: This episode will make you uncomfortable. It challenges modern parenting culture. It gives your kids permission to fail. And it demands you stop protecting them from the very struggles that will make them strong. Your kids don't need a dad who removes every obstacle. They need a dad who believes they're strong enough to overcome obstacles themselves. Listen now and discover why the hardest thing you do as a father might be the most loving thing you ever do.   Send us a text Please join me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/kingdom.dad.roars/

    Why God Didn't Answer Your Prayer (And What He's Doing Instead)

    You did everything right. So why didn't God show up? 300 prayers. One desperate request: Save my marriage. Heal my family. Don't let my kids grow up in a broken home. 300 times, heaven was silent. If you've ever begged God for something that truly mattered—your marriage, your kid's health, that job, that breakthrough—and heard nothing but silence, this episode is for you. In this raw, unfiltered 20 minutes, you'll discover: Why the "vending machine God" theology the church taught you is poisoning your faithThe brutal truth about prayer that nobody wants to say out loud (but everyone needs to hear)What actually dies when God says "no" to your most desperate prayer—and why that death might be necessaryHow unanswered prayer can become your greatest teacher instead of your biggest disappointmentThe three decisions that determine whether your pain gets wasted or investedWhat prayer looks like when you stop performing and start being honest with GodThis isn't your typical Christian podcast episode. No sanitized testimonies. No forced silver linings. No theological gymnastics to explain away your real pain. Just one dad's honest journey from the night he screamed at God in his car to discovering a faith that's deeper, rawer, and more authentic than anything he had before his world fell apart. Warning: This episode challenges comfortable Christianity. It gives you permission to be angry at God. It admits that sometimes He just says "no"—and doesn't explain why. But it also reveals what God might be building in the wreckage of what you begged Him to save. Perfect for: Dads walking through valleys they never asked to enterMen whose faith is being tested by unanswered prayersFathers who are tired of pretending everything's fine when it's clearly notAnyone who's ever wondered if God is actually good when life is undeniably hardYour unanswered prayer doesn't mean God isn't listening. It means He's answering a bigger prayer—the one where He makes you into the man you were always meant to be. Listen now and discover what God is actually doing when He doesn't do what you asked.

    Porn, Algorithms & Our Kids' Brains: How "The Feed" is Training Their Desires

    A conversation about what the internet is whispering to your kids when you’re not in the room. This episode follows the real story playing out on their phones: sexually charged clips, “one-way crushes,” body scores, and the slow pull from curiosity to secrecy. I discuss how the algorithm shapes desire, attention, and identity for both sons and daughters—boys pushed toward endless novelty and performance myths, girls pulled into comparison loops, DM pressure, and “post or disappear” culture. We sit in the tension most parents feel but rarely say out loud: fear, confusion, anger, and the ache of watching a good kid drift.  Send us a text Please join me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/kingdom.dad.roars/
