Episode 107
Elf: Rediscovering Joy in the Family Routine
This season, "Raising Little Saints with TV Screens", dives into what it means to find God in the shows we watch with our kids. Episode 107 - Elf: Rediscovering Joy in the Family Routine.
In this episode, we dive into Elf and explore why Buddy’s childlike joy isn’t naïve — it’s holy. He reminds us that delight is a spiritual discipline, that laughter can be a form of charity, and that renewing joy in our homes is part of our vocation as fathers.
Inside the episode you’ll hear:
🍼 Dad Fail Confessional — Feeling down on not exercising and the monotony of the dad life
🎄 Pop Culture Dive — What Buddy teaches us about presence, play, and living with open hearts
📖 Scripture Moment (NABRE) — “The joy of the Lord is your strength” in real dad life
🧉 Barstool Theology — Why joy isn’t optional for Christian fathers
🙏 Closing Prayer for dads rediscovering joy in the ordinary
Because holiness isn’t just about getting through the season —
it’s about letting God restore wonder in the moments we usually rush past.
🍻 Raising kids. Raising glasses. Raising faith.
