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.Leon Brown on Fatherhood, Marriage Storms, and Breaking Generational Cycles | Dear Son ShowOn the Dear Son Show, host D Johns talks with special guest Leon Brown (itsrevleon) about growing up in East Oakland raised by his praying grandmother and supported by his older brother, while navigating life without an active father. Leon shares how faith in Jesus Christ grounded him, how he now views his father with grace while still acknowledging the lack of effort, and why he’s intentional about giving his own children what he didn’t have—presence, guidance, and affection. The conversation explores learning manhood and marriage without a model, the impact of pornography and lust, marrying at 19 after sensing God’s direction, and practical marriage preparation like self-awareness, communication, and weathering storms. Leon also shares metaphors about God’s timing, and invites men to “Breaking Bread With Brothers” on August 29 in DeSoto, Texas.#fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas:“What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons”“How to Be a Better Father”“Father Son Relationship Advice”“Mistakes Fathers Make”“Lessons Every Man Should Learn”Follow James: https://instagram.com/jeyblac Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to:1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications,3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and5. share this content with someone who needs it.The DSP: https://thedearsonpodcast.com Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors: Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonpodcast.com/dsp-merch-%26-digital Love Kisha J Studios: https://houseoflkj.com My ebook: https://thedearsonpodcast.com/dsp-merch-%26-digital/ols/products/20lifepromptsv1My book (physical): https://thedearsonpodcast.com/dsp-merch-%26-digital/ols/products/dear-son-what-i-wish-my-father-told-me-physical-copyLet’s connect socially: https://instagram.com/thedearsonpodcast https://facebook.com/thedearsonpodcast The Three Foundational Pillars of the DSP Community1.
