Today’s episode is a bit different.

I invited Pastor Andrew Delgado onto the show with the intention of talking to him about how he ended up with 4 wonderful girls who all all adore him.

What I got was an hour long conversation about redemption, surrender, and grace.

Every episode I attempt to cut down to be a concise length and straightforward message.

But today’s episode I leave relatively unedited. Our conversation bounces around a lot, touching different subjects, but what is said is straight from the heart of one of the pastors of my church, and a man who I believe was put on this earth to be an example and lead men who didn’t grow up with great father’s.

I don’t want to take up any more time, So let’s get to it. I present to you, my conversation with Pastor Andrew Delgado.

What’s most important to us?

is it our family?

Is it our career?

Our spirituality?

Our word?

Our legacy?

Ask one hundred different people, and I’m sure you’d get similar answers.

But watch 100 different people, and I’m positive you’d see many different ones.

Because our words may say one thing, but our actions speak for itself.

And as fathers, our kids do far more watching, than listening.

It’s rarely what fathers say, or give, but instead it’s what fathers do which is remembered.

Our actions, build our legacy.

Hi, my name is Ryan Guerra and this is a Father’s Voice. And today I talk with Jordan Parker. Jordan is a good friend, and a man I appreciate having in my life because he is a bit further down the road than I am. His kids and career are reflections of where I’d like to be in another 5-7 years. He’s consistent, caring, and knowledgable, and I can tell by how his kids interact with him that he is a good father.

Our conversation today takes a look at parenting as a long term process. One where the decisions we make today should have the future in mind, because what we choose to say, and how we choose to act, will continue cementing our legacy in our kids lives, and will help guide them as they grow from young kids, to teenagers, and then to adults.

Jordan is typically a quieter person, not one for the spotlight. But when he speaks, I listen, because I have seen through our conversations that he carries a wisdom that comes from experience and learning.

I am very excited to have him on the show, and I am honored to present to you, my conversation with Jordan parker.

On paper, having a child is easy.

Two compatible people find one another

they have unprotected sex

a few times maybe

then 9 months later out comes a baby.

It’s a very natural thing.

For some.

But not for everyone.

In the U.S. there are approximately 6.7 million people dealing with some form of infertility each year. That’s 1 out of every 8 couples that are actively trying to have a baby.

It turns out, having a child isn’t that simple.

Hi, my name is Ryan Guerra, and this is A Father’s Voice. And today I talk with Chris Gwaltney about his story. Chris is one of my closest friends. We have laughed together, we have mourned together, and I have walked alongside him and his wife Ashley through their long process of trying to have a baby.

Spoiler alert, they are the proud parents of a beautiful boy. But it was not easy getting to this point, and though they finally have their wonderful little miracle, there are still moments of struggle and moments of weakness.

Every father runs into different issues with their families, and every dad experiences their own versions of the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows of parenting. All of our journeys look different, and yet there’s a camaraderie that can happen when we open up and share what these moments look like. Chris is that person for me, and I am thankful he is in my life.

Like episode 3, this is not an easy conversation to have. Most men don’t want to relive these moments, but Chris is a rare breed of man. A man who is willing to share his family’s experience to help us all learn and grow from it.

I am honored he is entrusting me with his story. I present to you, my conversation with Chris Gwaltney.
