Hey friends, Joe Barlow here — welcome back to the Joseph Barlow Podcast, also known as Dads & Fathers. Today is Episode 11, and I’m genuinely excited because I’m bringing you an interview that I believe is going to strengthen you. I sat down with my new friend Reagan Givhan — and listen… this brother and his wife have twelve kids. Twelve. And what you’re going to hear isn’t just a “big family story”… it’s a testimony of grace, faith, and the way God supplies when you say yes to Him. Reagan leads a ministry called Holy Temple Fitness, and it’s not just about working out — it’s about being fit in every area: spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, and relationally. But the heartbeat you’re going to feel in this conversation is his passion for holiness, purity, and building a family on purpose — not by accident, not by pressure, but by hearing God and obeying Him. And we go deep — we talk about fatherhood identity, the grace to parent, the power of an open-heart relationship with your kids, and why that little question “why?” is so important… because it builds strength on the inside of your children, so they can stand when the world pushes back. Now quick heads-up: I’m probably moving to one episode a week for a season instead of daily — and that’s okay. We’re going to keep flowing, keep building, and keep bringing you something that helps you become the man God made you to be. Alright—before we jump in, let’s pray. Father, I ask You to bless this time with my brother Reagan. We love You with all our heart. Flow by Your Spirit, say what You want to say, do what You want to do. We commit this time to You. In Jesus’ name, amen. Alright my friend — you’re going to love this interview. Let’s get into it. Maybe God’s Calling You To Partner With Us: This podcast is paid for by my partners.
