Show notes
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood.
Dear Son Show: Dayshawn Robinson on Fatherhood, Ministry, and Raising Kids with Purpose
On the Dear Son Show, host D Johns converses with Pastor Dashawn Robinson, who shares how growing up as a pastor’s kid in Brooklyn shaped his view of fatherhood, ministry, and influence. They discuss moments of disappointment and pain when fathers see their children impacted by “other voices,” including stories of being caught cursing and hiding a journal, and how those experiences revealed deeper concerns about intimacy and influence. Dayshawn explains his call to ministry, resisting it as a teenager, and how repeated “disruptions” led him to yield, including a pivotal incident where an officer spared him despite a weapon. He describes meeting his wife in high school, her family’s faith journey, graduate studies at Princeton, joining Change Church under Pastor Darius Daniels, and a healing conversation with his father. The episode emphasizes parenting as stewardship, God’s priorities of family and union, dual apprenticeship between parents and children, and leading with influence, fun, and values.
