A Life of Hope with Rev. Keith Hinton - PDP 078

Queen Esther had to be alerted to the danger, but when the call came for her to engage, she risked her life to do the right thing.

Christians in America are called to the same battle. The battle of ideas that threatens everything we hold dear. What will your answer be? It could be that "you have come to the kingdom for just such a time as this."

The Benefits of Hunting - FF Ep 18

Happy Independence Day!

As America celebrates 250 years of liberty, fireworks, and family gatherings, we pause to ask a deeper question: where do our rights come from?

In this special episode, Preacher Dad Jarod Hinton explores the biblical truth that our rights are not created by government but given by God. Governments may recognize or protect them, but they cannot originate them.

Jarod also reflects on the Founding Fathers’ belief that true liberty is rooted in the Creator—and why that foundation still matters today.

This isn’t just reflection, though—it’s gratitude. A celebration of a nation that has, for 250 years, sought to protect those God-given freedoms and become a unique testimony in history.

Whether you’re at a cookout, on the road, or watching fireworks, this episode invites you to remember both the Giver of liberty and the blessings of a nation built to defend it.

Happy Birthday, America—may we never forget the source of our freedom.

Preacher Dad Podcast

This podcast is by about the things that are important to dads. Raising good kids. Being good husbands. Keeping up with Star Wars..... you know, the important stuff. And I have 8 kids, so I know important! 

But it is also for the people that care about what the Bible says about raising kids, being a good spouse, influencing the culture, and making a difference that will last even after we pass away.  We want to inspire and equip Christians to engage in the Culture War and impact the next generation by proclaiming Christ!

Yep, I'm a Preacher Dad. And I want my relationship with Jesus Christ to permeate every part of my life, including how I relate to my wife and children. 

He tells me about Himself in the Bible, and I believe Jesus has addressed every part of life in his Word. Let's see if we can find a current issue or family issue where the Bible does not apply. From parenting to politics to preparation...and everything in between! Join me!
