Forever Dad

Send us Fan Mail"Welcome to Episode 166: You Became the Parent You Complained About.Today, we are taking a massive, honest, and hilarious look at the ultimate generational plot twist. We all grow up making a sacred promise to ourselves that we will never turn into our parents. We swear we’ll be the cool ones, the fun ones, the ones who do everything differently.But time is a circle, and life has a funny way of bringing us right back to our roots. In this episode, we are breaking down the entire 5-to-50-year timeline of a child’s journey with their parent. We're talking about the shift from viewing them as invincible superheroes at age five, to clashing with them at fifteen, to that terrifying moment in adulthood where you look in the mirror—or open your mouth to yell at your own kids—and realize you have officially transformed into the exact person you used to complainSupport the show

Send us Fan MailThis is FOREVER DAD EPISODE 164; In this deeply raw and unfiltered episode, we are tackling a painful reality that too many people suffer through in silence: how the church is failing the grieving world.It has been over a year since my mom passed away. In 365 days of navigating life without her, not a single person from the church has reached out, checked in, or asked how I am doing. I wasn't just left to grieve; I was entirely abandoned by the community that promised to be there. Today, I’m channeling my anger into a necessary conversation. We are breaking down.Support the show

Send us Fan MailAre we failing our kids? In Episode 163, Price Van Ray dives deep into "The Kids' Generation Crisis We Created." This week, we confront the stark, growing divide between the older generations and the new generation. From technology to shifting social norms, the new generation is increasingly out of touch with reality—but is it entirely their fault, or did we set them up for this? Price breaks down how modern parenting, societal shifts, and cultural changes have contributed to this massive generational gap, and what we, as fathers and mentors, must do to help them find their footing again. Tune in for a raw, honest conversation about accountability, connection, and bridging the gap before it's too late.Support the show
