Grab a cup of coffee and join your host Micah Sherman, as I interview some of the coolest dads I know who have a big heart for their families and an even bigger love for Jesus. My hope and prayer in listening to these conversations is that all our dad listeners out there would glean from the deep wisdom and experience of other dads in the same boat as they are and that more importantly they would know that they are not alone in this adventure called Fatherhood.
Raising 8 Kids on a Dairy Farm in New Zealand | EP. 24
The season finale is here where I interview Marty Richards of whom him and his wife have not 1, not 2 but 8 KIDS! They live on a beautiful dairy farm in New Zealand where they love to mountain bike, camp, and go boating.
Marty shares all about what it's like balancing work, marriage, ministry and of course raising 8 children. Marty has a passion for both instilling purpose in each of his children as well as empowering them to understand how much they are loved as well as realizing their gifting and talents.
We also dive into the power of practicing what you preach in your relationship with God as well as modeling good habits and routines that your family is watching you do each day. Marty and his wife have a busy life but always try to make time first for God, their marriage and each of their kids.
