#118 - This Episode ONLY mentions McDonalds for a second.

#118 - This Episode ONLY mentions McDonalds for a second.

Episode One Hundred and Eight Teen! Episode 117 was released in 2021 in October! The month I left the only Industry I knew and took my talents to a brand new venture. Months after buying a new home, losing my father and more. This Episode starts off pretty WIERD, just the way I like it! It’s only fitting to begin the conversation in the midst of one I should have had first. It’s a lot more to that conversation but for now let’s just back into the swing of things ! This Episode mentions McDonalds but only for a second ! It ends with a Question Far More Pressing!! Produced By: CJ (My Oldest Son)

#110 - A New Predator in Your Neighborhood

#110 - A New Predator in Your Neighborhood

Episode 110 our Host @adadcoach talks about the behaviors of a young man and the myths of manhood. This Episode is decently challenging because of the subject matter. In hopes of not being too graphic and just wanting to spark a dialogue a lot of the of the topics remain on the surface to protect our young listeners. This show hopefully tugs at your heart and encourages FATHERS to talk to their Young Men and tell them what a REAL MAN is!


I pray this helps!

#100 - A Victims Mentality

#100 - A Victims Mentality

Finally Episode 100 (Officially)! I wanted to do something Special for this show so I decided to do something that HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE! EVER IN THE HISTORY OF LIVEWITHMEECHREAL, THE CHHPLUG, THE DAVE JONES SHOW, OHSOGOSPEL or THE FATHERSHIP PROJECT HAS OUR HOST HAS EVER SHARED THIS: HIS MUSIC!!! YES YOU HEARD IT RIGHT ... HIS MUSIC!!! (WHY IS THIS IN ALL CAPS??!? IT'S THAT SERIOUS WE ARE YELLING AT YOU LITERALLY FOR A HISTORIC DAY!!) Demetrious "Meech Real" Early will be sharing one of the first and ONLY songs he ever got professionally recorded. He also shares a VERY SENSITIVE story that before this moment had never been talked about in public!!! 

This show is to encourage Fathers all over the world and people in general that your trauma doesn't have to be the defining moment of your life in a negative light. Prayerfully this episode finds you in a good health and leaves you a bit more encouraged, a bit more coming to terms and above all hungry and excited about YOUR RELATIONSHIP with the Father!!


(some of the subject matter isn't one size fits all...thats what God is for. His LOVE, GRACE MERCY, SACRIFICE and Blood is able to cover any and every problem and restore you)

We Pray, here at The Fathership Project, That the Lord keeps you and that your personal relationship grows and the fruit of it manifests over every aspect on your life!

The Internet be saying Anything!

Episode 80 wasn’t Planned but Necessary! Over the days couple of weeks the #CoronaVirus has taken over media and some will say the world! People are afraid! People are Misinformed and People are living in Fear! Our host has a very close connection with Fear for most of his life and he wants to share his testimony as well as encourage those that may be dealing with it now! This Episode is in NO WAY trying advert attention or downplay the seriousness of a disease that has killed people ! (1 death is too many) but instead not allow FEAR to take your life before the virus even has the chance to. The stats are vague and fear mongering and it’s not right! MeechReal Prays that you sill be encouraged from this show and challenged to not allow HEADLINES to stop them from educating themselves
