    James K.A. Smith: The Dynamic of Being Known

    James K.A. Smith: The Dynamic of Being Known

    For years one of Dave's favorite books has been On the Road with Saint Augustine: A Real-World Spirituality for Restless Hearts, and today we have the author James K.A. Smith joining Dadville. Throughout the conversation, Smith gives enlightened views on not only Saint Augustine, but also his latest book, How to Inhabit Time, which shows why awakening to the spiritual significance of time is crucial for orienting faith in the twenty-first century.

    The McLaughlins: Don't Sleep on the Couch

    We have one half of the founding couples of Dadville joining us today. Dave turns the tables and interviews Jon and Amy McLaughlin about their origin story and how they've grown into their marriage over the last 18 years. From standing in lines together in college, to choosing not to sleep on the couch, and finally understanding that it's all about the simple things.

Suzysalmon ,

Love the couples!

Have just adored listening to the couples you’ve been having on. It’s clear y’all are great friends and it’s really fun to hear you laugh and encourage one another.

Mom who loves Dadville

Keep it coming! I love it and have listened from day 1.

Peyton Stokley ,

Could not love this show more

As a frequent mom visitor to Dadville- I just have to say that I could not love this show more. Also- after the Steve Moakler episode I checked …and the Pontiac Coffee House is sadly permanently closed 😂- but the yelp images made the Girl Scout story truly come to life. Thank you for your laughs and wisdom -shared with dads and moms alike!
