Viral Youtuber "Dad, How Do I?" On Being A Dad and Sharing The Gospel After Negative Backlash ft. Rob Kenney

Rob Kenney is best known as the man behind the viral Youtube account, "Dad, How Do I?" He shares videos explaining things that dads ought to have taught their kids... How to tie a tie, how to change a tire, how to make good food, etc. And he hit a nerve when he burst onto the scene in 2020, tapping into the father-hunger unconsciously felt by many young people today. But there's more to him than just fixing stuff. He's a Christian, and he wants to share his faith. In this conversation, we go into how he intentionally stepped into the identity of FATHER, and the backlash he endured from sharing his faith on his Youtube channel, and what it means for Christians today. -- FREE 5 Day Course To Transform Your Family Into A Team: https://familyteams.com/transform -- On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:53 Dad, How Do I? story 3:05 Sharing Faith and How People Interact With Christianity Today 14:53 The Moral Argument for God 23:42 Hard Fatherhood and Fragility 29:58 The Identity of FATHER Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: Dad, How Do I?: https://www.youtube.com/@DadhowdoI/ Dad's Faith Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@dadsfaithchannel Dad, How Do I?

David Nasser narrowly escaped Iran in 1979 after the revolution. He saw "religion gone wrong" and decided that he hated God. You'll have to listen to what happened next, but it's one of the most glorious testimonies we've heard in a long time. David knows only too well that this is a critical moment for the underground church in Iran. We discuss his story, what's happening in Iran with the church, how we can help, and the biggest lessons on family that he took from the Middle East (compared to our western obsession with hyper-individualism).

FREE 5 Day Email Series to Turn Your Family Into a Team: https://familyteams.com/transform/ --- Is it better to get a PhD, or have a child? I found this wild interaction on the "child-free" subreddit, and had to comment on it from our pro-family point of view here at Family Teams. There's a huge lie in the undercurrent of our society that has convinced so many young women to become hyper-individualistic and focused on self at the expense of children and family, and it's so tragic. This is a good way to showcase that lie and remind everyone to start celebrating kids and family.

There's a ton of talk lately about whether large or small families are better for kids, with most people saying small families are "obviously" better. This comes on the heels of influencer Ballerina Farm sharing that she's pregnant with her 9th, after which she received pretty hard push back from some people on X. In this episode, I'll walk you through why you're probably thinking about large families wrong, and explain the family teams way of thinking about this where the larger the family, the larger the blessing.

One of the things we talk a lot about here at Family Teams is the idea of ASSETS over CAREERS. In other words, we've found it extremely beneficial in building family teams to find ways to build assets together - especially businesses. While it's not right for everyone, we think it's right for way more people than are currently doing it! Jeremy and Kristin Netting join us today to talk about how they've started building family assets, and it goes WAY beyond just "start a business". We're talking things like how to actually work with your family as a team, how to start training your kids young so they want to be involved, the power of local community and land, and how to navigate the cultural tension of "limiting" your kids' choices. Absolute must-listen if you're ready to break free from building another man's family assets and start building your own.

Training your children is a Biblical mandate. But it's almost become a dirty word in 2026. "How dare you train your children! You're infringing on their liberty as individuals!"

In this episode, we'll convince you briefly why training your kids is necessary (if you still need convincing), and then give you some practical tools and mindset shifts to start actually implementing this.

A few weeks ago, we posted a clip on Instagram of Jeremy reacting to a woman's explanation of her dad's unique discipline (which also included an incredible teaching on grace). It went pretty viral, being seen over half a million times on IG. Today, we're excited to bring it full circle by having Rachel Awtrey - the woman in the reel - on the podcast, to talk more about her father's wise discipline, fathering and mothering in general, and about her new book on finding joy, even in times of hardship and trial, to which she's no stranger. Listen in to hear why her dad's unique discipline actually worked, and how it's helped her in her own motherhood journey. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:41 Rachel's family background 3:4 The identity of "daughter" 5:54 Creativity in discipline 15:44 Discipline must be correlated to the level of connection 19:21 Love your life even when you don't love it all the time 21:59 Joy through bad news Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: The Reel Mentioned: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSjDs-qFDj7/ Love Your Life (Even If You Don't Like It All The Time): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJY765XF/ Real Talk With Rachel Awtry: https://www.rachelawtreypodcast.com/ Rachel Awtrey on IG: https://www.instagram.com/rachel.awtrey/ Rachel's Website: https://rachelawtrey.com/ --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!
