Growing as Fathers: Lessons from Pastor Sam Flynn | Father & Friend Podcast

In this episode of Father and Friend, Pastor Sam Flynn shares his powerful journey from growing up in an unbelieving home to raising a Christ-centered family. He and host Tim Anderson discuss parenting with grace, family discipleship, and the importance of being intentional in every stage of fatherhood.

Pastor Sam Flynn joins Tim Anderson to talk about faith, family, and fatherhood. Raised in an unbelieving home, Sam opens up about the challenges of breaking generational cycles and building a home rooted in biblical values. He shares lessons learned through parenting four children (and now a grandchild), the importance of apologizing and expressing love, and why fathers must be intentional stewards of their families.

The conversation covers practical parenting strategies—like consistent rules, open communication about difficult topics such as relationships and purity, and incorporating family Bible studies. Pastor Sam also reflects on his unique background in martial arts (MMA), the balance of pastoral ministry with family life, and the daily commitment to prayer and growth as a parent.

This episode offers encouragement for fathers (and mothers) at any stage of parenting: to embrace grace, keep learning, and invest deeply in their children’s lives.
