In this episode of Father and Friend, Tim Anderson interviews Zach Williams—Christian, husband, father, bestselling author, and motivational speaker—about his powerful journey through betrayal, tragedy, and near-death experiences to discovering faith, fatherhood, and living fully in the moment.

Zach Williams opens up about the defining moments that shaped his life and fatherhood. From experiencing deep betrayal in a past relationship to surviving a devastating motorcycle accident, Zach shares how these challenges ultimately brought clarity, gratitude, and purpose. He speaks about the importance of living in the moment rather than through memories, the practice of visualization, and how slowing down has changed his perspective as a husband and father.

The conversation also explores the pressures men face in today’s social media-driven culture, the dangers of “faking it until you make it,” and why real stories of success and failure matter. Zach discusses leaving behind a multi-million-dollar business to prioritize family and fulfillment, and how he now pours into men through Uncaged, a faith-based accountability and networking group.

This episode is full of encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that investing time in family and faith leaves a legacy far greater than money or success.

In this episode of Father and Friend, Tim Anderson interviews Josh Niemi, founder of Expository Parenting and author of Expository Parenting. Together, they explore biblical parenting, the sufficiency of Scripture, and how fathers can disciple their children through verse-by-verse teaching of God’s Word.

What does it look like to parent according to Scripture? Josh Niemi shares his personal journey from growing up in a confused church background to finding clarity and conviction in God’s Word. He explains how this shaped his passion for helping parents disciple their children through expository teaching at home—showing that Scripture alone equips kids for every good work.

Tim and Josh discuss:

The importance of theological training in childhood rather than waiting until adulthood.

How expository teaching in the home parallels expository preaching in the church.

The role of fathers in leading their families spiritually.

Practical strategies for discipling children, from storybook Bibles to full-text Scripture.

The challenges of relying on creativity, tradition, or emotions in parenting—and the freedom of resting in God’s Word.

Education and discipleship, including Josh’s conviction about homeschooling.

What this looks like in his own family, with encouragement for parents who feel overwhelmed or inadequate.

Josh emphasizes that parents don’t need to be spiritual “rockstars.” Instead, by faithfully teaching Scripture, fathers and mothers can raise children deeply rooted in truth.
