Dave Barnes: Marriage, Kids, & the Life You Choose

In this episode of The Soul Talks, Theresa sits down with singer-songwriter Dave Barnes for a deeply honest conversation about success, family, faith, and what really matters in the long run.At the height of his career, with a hit song taking off and life accelerating, Dave found himself asking a question many of us quietly wrestle with: Is this it? What followed wasn’t just a shift in his career—but a redefinition of success itself.Together, Theresa and Dave explore the tension between ambition and presence, and the difficult choices that come with both. Dave opens up about choosing family over constant growth, the reality that success can never fully satisfy, and the intentional decisions that have shaped his life as a husband and father.They also dive into marriage—the way it evolves over time, the beauty of growing alongside someone, and the humility it takes to keep showing up through every season. Dave shares candidly about faith as a lived, everyday practice, not something performative, but something steady and grounding.This conversation is a reminder that a meaningful life isn’t built on bigger moments—but on choosing what matters, again and again. Subscribe for more soulful conversations.Connect with us:Visit Theresa's Website: www.theresabruno.net Follow Theresa on Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok: @Theresa.Harper.BrunoGet your copy of "He's Not Coming Back": https://bit.ly/40qGX6Y Connect with our guest:Visit Dave's Website: https://www.davebarnes.com/ Listen to Dave's Podcast "Dadville": http://bit.ly/4cOEFFT Find Dave on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davebarnesmusic/ Follow Dave on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davebarnesmusic/
