EPISODE 0228 | Biblical Fatherhood and Discipleship
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0228
In this episode, Pastor Stephen and Pastor Nate sit down with Pastor Rob McCoy to unpack how discipleship begins at home and transforms generations. Through honest storytelling and decades of hard-won wisdom, Pastor Rob shares the legacy-shaping impact of raising sons with vision, clarity, and conviction—especially in a culture that tries to blur the lines of manhood and responsibility.From the pain of past failures to the beauty of redemption, this conversation isn't just about parenting—it's about discipleship, identity, legacy, and what it means to grow into the kind of man who follows Christ with everything. Whether you're raising children, mentoring others, or rebuilding from mistakes, this episode will challenge and inspire you to leave a godly wake behind you.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ The difference between discipling daughters and sons
✔️ How to raise men who provide, protect, and walk with God
✔️ Lessons from failure, grace, and hard choices
✔️ Why a man’s response to failure defines his legacy
✔️ The importance of intentional rites of passage into manhood
✔️ Why frontloading a young man’s life with discipline and purpose matters
✔️ How to use your story to disciple the next generation
Key Scriptures:
📖 Psalm 131 – “I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child”
📖 Ecclesiastes 7:1 – “A good name is better than fine perfume”
📖 Psalm 127 – “Children are a heritage from the Lord…”
📖 1 Timothy 3 – Leading your family well as a prerequisite to leadership
📖 Deuteronomy 6 – Teaching your children as you go through life
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Discipleship isn't just taught—it's caught through everyday life.
🔹 A man isn't someone who never fails—he’s someone who owns his failures and rebuilds.
🔹 Sons need to be called into manhood with vision and purpose, not just left to figure it out.
🔹 Daughters need to see how a man honors and cherishes their mother to know their worth.
🔹 Your legacy isn't what you say—it’s who you’ve shaped and what they believe.
