    Raising Kids You Enjoy Being Around

    Episode 29 centers on raising kids you enjoy being around, as the family discusses discipline that corrects behavior without crushing personality, teaching children to engage adults with respect, and setting wide but consistent boundaries.

The episode opens with the family's tempered hopes for the Dallas Cowboys' new season and a lively debate over where Dak Prescott ranks among NFL quarterbacks.The Akin Huddle Podcast is presented by Southern Seminary.

    Building and Leading a Team

    Episode 28 focuses on building and leading a team, as the Akins talk through what they look for when they hire and why character and integrity always outweigh talent. The conversation turns to the harder side of leadership, including how to move someone on with kindness, why Christian organizations so often avoid addressing competency, and what it takes to hold people accountable without harming the health of a church or institution. Along the way, they discuss core values, clear expectations, hiring from within, and the everyday practices that build a culture worth being part of.

    Do Institutions Matter?

    Episode 27 makes the case for why institutions matter. The brothers and their dad talk through what an institution actually is, why God himself established the family, the government, and the church, and what gives institutions the staying power that movements often lack. The conversation also considers why so many young people distrust anything big and established, the hard and worthwhile work of revitalizing an existing church, and the call to steward these institutions well and hand them to the next generation.The Akin Huddle Podcast is presented by Southern Seminary.

    What will heaven be like? (Part 2)

    Episode 26 opens with the family's memories of the Left Behind books and the cultural fascination with end times speculation, and why reading today's headlines back into Scripture leads to a distorted way of understanding the Bible. Danny then works through a rapid-fire round of questions about heaven, including whether we will recognize one another, whether children and animals will be there, what our resurrection bodies will be like, and whether we will still work, eat, and explore. The conversation closes with a reminder that the new heaven and new earth will be anything but boring, because everything we love here is only a faint echo of what is coming.The Akin Huddle Podcast is presented by Southern Seminary.

    What Will Heaven Be Like (Part 1)

    Episode 25 puts Danny Akin in the hot seat for an extended conversation about the end times, drawing on decades of teaching and writing on the book of Revelation. The brothers compare their own eschatological positions with his, talk about why so few in this generation have thought carefully about the doctrine, and model how to hold real convictions on secondary matters without dividing fellowship.The Akin Huddle Podcast is presented by Southern Seminary.

    Men in Women's Sports

    Episode twenty-four focuses on the growing controversy over men competing in women's sports, sparked by recent events in the WNBA and the backlash facing players who have spoken up. The brothers explain why this is a moral issue of fairness even when the numbers seem small, drawing on their own experiences as players, pastors, and parents. Along the way they discuss what it looks like to hold firmly to the truth that God made men and women distinctly different while still loving and caring for every person as someone made in the image of God.The Akin Huddle Podcast is presented by Southern Seminary.

    How to Balance Rest and Work (Part 2)

    Episode 23 continues the Akins' conversation on rest, moving from the theology of the Sabbath to how a Christian in 2026 actually practices it. The brothers talk through youth sports on Sunday, what makes a home genuinely restful, and whether pastoral sabbaticals are a gift or an indulgence in the eyes of the average church member. Danny closes with a story about John MacArthur that captures the balance between working hard in ministry and being present at home.The Akin Huddle Podcast is presented by Southern Seminary.
