Welcome back to Dadville! Today, we’re sitting down with our incredibly learned friend, Ian Morgan Cron. We usually try to keep things light and funny, but Ian brought some serious “strings on the bridge” energy to this one. As an author, psychotherapist, former priest, and Dove Award-winning songwriter, he’s basically a vocational tossed salad.

We dive deep into his complicated childhood with an alcoholic father, how we all inevitably screw up our kids, and why we need to let everyone—and ourselves—out of the penalty box. Jon got to geek out over being a fellow Enneagram Four, and Dave sat up a little straighter to show off his youthful “vigor”. Truly, Ian reminded us that we’re just growing up alongside our kids, and that at the end of the day, we’re in good hands. Enjoy this episode with the lovely man of permission himself!

This is a tricky one - I’m recommending this only because I just bought it but I haven’t used it yet - but it looks SO AWESOME BECAUSE I LOVE THESE SORTS OF THINGS.

I also paid for the plan where you can forward the email with the baseball/gymnastics/church/school schedule and it AUTOMATICALLY PUTS IT IN THE CALENDAR!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Back soon with actual usage thoughts but I bet it’s gonna be awesome.

Also, if you work for skylight, let’s talk about a Dadville sponsorship.

The end.

Amen.

Do us a solid and send this to someone you think would enjoy this episode!

The fam & I went to Ireland for a wedding a few weeks ago (absolutely love Ireland now btw) and we went into this little bookstore in Greystones. Amy was chatting with the worker there and she asked if she would recommend some books by local authors. The worker made a few recommendations and Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These was one of them. It's a very short book (maybe just over 100 pages). I read it last week knowing absolutely zero about the story going in (which is my favorite way to go into a book but it rarely happens) and I really loved it. I don't want to give anything away so I'll just say that up until maybe the last 10 pages I had no idea where it was going and the way it ended was so absolutely beautiful.
