What does it really mean to "train up a child" in today’s world?

In this episode of our Father’s Day series Dad Mode, we sit down with a public school teacher, dad, and believer to talk about how to raise kids with wisdom, faith, and practical skills — even in a culture that feels lost.

We talk about:

• Teaching discipline without being harsh
• Equipping kids with life skills and faith foundations
• Why presence matters more than perfection
• What Proverbs 22:6 really means today

Whether you're already a dad or thinking about becoming one, this episode is about building the kind of man who can lead with love and raise strong, healthy kids.

Are tattoos a form of self-expression… or spiritual rebellion? In this episode, we dive into what the Bible actually says about tattoos and body art. We unpack historical context, explore what Leviticus 19:28 really means, and ask whether ink is compatible with a life of faith.
This is a real conversation for Gen Z men navigating identity, faith, culture, and manhood. Whether you're tatted up or tattoo-curious, we’re breaking it down with honesty, theology, and brotherhood.

In this episode of Wooden Table Talks, we dive headfirst into the two biggest questions of 2025:
👉 Is GTA VI about to be the greatest game of all time?
👉 And if aliens are real… where are they?

We break down the leaked details and confirmed features from the GTA VI trailer, talk about Vice City’s return, and share our wild predictions.
Then we pivot to one of the most debated topics ever — aliens. From government cover-ups to the Fermi paradox, we explore it all (with jokes, of course).

This podcast is for Gen Z men who love to laugh, question things, and grow while talking culture, conspiracy, and chaos.
