Hey Dad... Can You Talk?

Hey Dad... Can You Talk?

By Toby Slough & Bailey Garner

A podcast convo between Bailey Garner and Toby Slough, a daughter and her dad, where they talk about real stuff, hard stuff, the stuff no one else wants to talk about and funny stuff too! "Stuff" includes parenting, relationships, community, mental wellness and more. We are so thankful you're here to listen and we pray that the Lord uses the special relationship that Toby and Bailey share along with their casual but heartfelt conversations to encourage you and to help you know that you're not alone in your struggles.

On today's episode, we are excited to share a conversation that Dad had with some leaders from Cross Timbers Church. Today's episode is all about Social Media – is it good? Bad? Evil? Should we allow our kids to have access to it? How do I create healthy boundaries? Should I just log off for good?  Let's answer some questions and share our personal journeys and struggles with social media!

49 | Hey Dad... Let's Talk About Family Values

Have you ever thought about a few core values that you want to instill in your kids? Lately I've been really focused on gratitude in my family and so I asked Dad what his core values were for our family growing up, why he chose them and how he was intentional in cultivating them in my brother and I. We chatted about gratitude, respect, responsibility and resiliency. This is an episode you won't want to miss! Press play, why dontcha?!


Here is our gratitude list that Dad refers to in this episode!

19 | Greatest Hits: Hey Dad... Let’s Talk to Mom About What It’s Like When Someone You Love Is Struggling With Their Mental Health

Throughout the month of June we will be re-airing some of our greatest hits from season one! Today's episode is a re-air of episode 13!

Today we have a VERY special guest and her name is... Mom. Just kidding, her name is Mika, but she is Mom to me. She is wife and best friend to Toby and Honey to her grandkids. She is loved by so many and I am elated that our podcast family (that's you!) is getting the chance to glean from this woman's wisdom. Up until this point, Dad has shared a lot about his journey with panic attacks and anxiety. But it has not only been a journey for him, it has also been a journey for my Mom, too. Today she shares her story. She shares how she felt when he first admitted he was struggling, who was her source of comfort, what she has learned along the way, and so much more. This is a side to the story that we don't often get to hear, so lean in and listen close. Oh and also grab some tissues, because I think you'll probably want a few on hand for this episode. Don't forget to also share with someone you know would benefit from listening. There's power in a "me too" moment and we want others to know they're not alone as they love and support someone else who is struggling.

09 | Hey Dad... Let's Talk About Our Kid's Faith

A big question that parents often have is, "How do I help my child develop and grow in their own faith?". On today's episode, we talk about just that. It's a topic that, as a parent, you may feel uncertain about. And maybe you just have never had anyone to discuss this kind of question with. Well, settle in, press play and listen to Dad give his two (or three) cents of wisdom. I promise you'll walk away with multiple helpful nuggets that you'll want to keep in your back pocket as you begin or continue to raise your kiddos to have a real relationship with Jesus. 


Would you like a bit more encouragement as you raise your kiddos? Read this recent blog post about what it looks like for you to be your kid’s biggest cheerleader. And then download this pdf that we wanted to share with you. Add your child's name-make a copy for each kiddo! Read it to them and let them hear you speaking the truth of the words over them.
