In this heartfelt episode of Holy Alive, we sit down with board member Jadi Rodriguez and Full Armor Director Anthony Davis to talk about stepping into the sacred role of fatherhood after growing up in broken homes. Jadi, dad to a 7-month-old and a 3-year-old, and Anthony, dad to a 6-week-old newborn, share the raw realities of learning to father without a godly blueprint, the beauty of watching their children thrive, and the ways God is rewriting their stories through their families.

Together, they open up about the fears, joys, and daily lessons of being present, intentional dads—and how their faith equips them to break cycles, build new legacies, and love their children in ways they never experienced themselves.

If you’ve ever wrestled with the weight of fatherhood or longed to see God redeem your family story, this conversation will encourage you that you are not alone and that grace truly transforms generations.

What we cover in this episode:

➡️ Breaking Cycles: How God empowers fathers to create new legacies, even when they didn’t grow up with healthy examples.

➡️ Daily Presence: Why small, consistent moments with your children matter more than perfection.

➡️ Faith as a Foundation: How relying on God gives strength and wisdom for parenting when your own upbringing left gaps.

➡️ Redemption in Fatherhood: Real stories of healing and restoration that come through loving and leading a family.

➡️ Encouragement for Fathers: Practical encouragement for dads who feel unprepared, reminding them they’re equipped and not alone.
