Important Announcement : Pick & Stick!
Take A Leap! Just over a year ago, we took a bold step to launch the Black Daddy Podcast. We went from just hitting the record button to an all out production of what has become for us a labor of love. So much has been learned about the art of communication, the importance of excellence in media and the invaluable and transferrable skill of working together. All three of these have yielded the result of going far. Through this process we have, to put it in a catchphrase, “gotten better together.” The Black Daddy Podcast has been a tremendous step in our journey to the next RIGHT thing. In this video we discuss what we, through an amazing series of events over the last couple of months , have chosen to PICK and STICK to… Listen up for some updates, important lessons, and announcements as we enter into the new year…. *** SPECIAL THANK YOU TO *** Tai and Talaat McNeely of His and Her Money Mikaela Streeter of the Life School Damian and Jaime Johnson of Marriage is Real Dr. Joe Martin of Real Men Connect Sam & Desirae Ofori of M1-Marriage First/ Sincerely Mrs. Mommy Joel Bogess of the Re-Launch Show Jay Mayo of The Right to Real Love Podcast Charles Cooper Dr. Preston Adams

Bonus Episode: - The Highs and Lows of Faith
In this bonus episode of the blackdaddy podcast on the heels of our hit episode Supernatural Childbirth we wrestle with questions like : Where does the cultural belief in God part ways with genuine heart felt, Jesus- centered faith? When we step into a deeper trust of God, what are the possibilities? How does this affect our daily lives in a real way? "Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." - What does that mean? In today's episode we will touch on the highs and lows of faith, loss, and finding God in the midst of it all! Listeners, we'd love to hear from you! Have questions, concerns or comments? .Email us [email protected] or if you're on twitter @blackdaddynow.

Episode 15 : Supernatural Childbirth
06/06/2016
Episode 15 : Supernatural Childbirth
Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize is referenced in this episode. (http://amzn.to/1RVOHjz) In Episode 14 of the Black Daddy Podcast we were able to share the AMAZING Miracle of our daughter’s birth. If you would like to, We would encourage you to go check it out. In this episode we want to clarify the difference between natural childbirth and supernatural childbirth. Natural childbirth usually involves special breathing and relaxation techniques with the goal of minimal medical or technological intervention. Many women have found success using these methods. Natural Childbirth is good but God always has a better way of doing things. Supernatural always exceeds natural in any area and deciding to do it HIS way yields amazing results. We've totally had to changing our thinking by renewing our mind with the word of God on the subject of having babies the same way we renew our mind concerning, finances, health, and everything else. We can no longer think the way the world thinks if we want to have the results, the promises, and provisions that have been given to us a born again believers. We had to discover what God thinks on any subject and begin to think and talk the way he does. Romans 12:2 says and be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Preparation, Faith, Humility, Action. What happens when you stand on promises that seem to be a little un-orthodox? What happens when you shift your believe system from the natural to the supernatural. In today's episode we will unpack the belief system behind Supernatural Childbirth. As a disclaimer, supernatural childbirth is a practical and realistic look at God's promises for conception,pregnancy, and delivery. It is rooted in unlocking powerful biblical truths and dynamic faith principles. This episode is not about naming and claiming,wishful thinking, or prideful prayers towards God. It is our heart to make much of Jesus and provide a Christocentric celebration of the victory we have in him over the curse as a result of the fall. We are talking Supernatural Childbirth on the Black Daddy Podcast! Join us next week as we finish our discussion and celebration of Supernatural Childbirth on the BlackDaddy Podcast!
