Shownotes
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.
