  • Love + Kindness: The Two Ingredients That Saved My Marriage | Ep 195 | The Dear Son, Show
    2026/06/24

    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.


    Love + Kindness: The Two Ingredients That Saved My Marriage | Dear Son Show (Patrick Murphy)


    On this Father’s Day episode of The Dear Son Show, D Johns welcomes Patrick Murphy from Florida to discuss fatherhood, peace, and relationships. Patrick shares growing up in the Bay Area with nine siblings, learning entrepreneurship from his father, and being shaped by his parents’ divorce and contrasting parenting styles. He describes how his first 27-year marriage ended in divorce, leaving him bitter and searching for answers, which led him to study relationships and help teach a divorce and separation care ministry at One Community Church. In his second marriage, frequent divorce talks shifted after a spiritual warning and a series of “ice cream dates” focused on sharing childhood stories instead of issues, helping them heal. Patrick argues that relationships need both love and kindness, warns against weaponizing vulnerability, and says this approach brought peace at home and years without arguments.

  • Read the Room: Awareness, Tact, and Raising Kids Into Adulthood | Ep 194 | The Dear Son, Show
    2026/06/20

    Read the Room: Awareness, Tact, and Raising Kids Into Adulthood


    Hosts D Johns and Jey Blac of the Dear Son Show discuss “reading the room” as a key life skill for kids and adults—balancing individuality with tact, context, and awareness of consequences. They talk about observing who children become around friends, resisting “go along to get along” behavior, and understanding how intent doesn’t erase harm when words land offensively. The conversation also covers parenting older teens and young adults: checking in often, being approachable, not dismissing “kid-like” gaps at 19–20, and helping kids pivot through phases without forcing a parent’s timeline. In dating, they stress consent: a yes can turn to no, and “no” (including hesitation) means stop. Follow the channel and leave a review to support more conversations like this.

  • My Emotional Wellness & Healing Journey | Zimbabwe to the UK | Ep 193 | The Dear Son, Show
    2026/06/19

    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.


    King Cass Ajani on Fatherhood, Emotional Wellness & Healing: Dear Son Show (Zimbabwe to UK Journey)


    In this episode of The Dear Son Show, D Johns sits down with King Cass Ajani (Dumisani David Moyo), born in Zimbabwe and raised in the UK, to discuss identity, fatherhood, and emotional wellbeing for boys and men. Ajani shares memories of a joyful childhood in Harare, the abrupt move to South London at age 10, and his family’s fragmentation as his father became less present and left when Ajani was 14. He reflects on a father who was accomplished and confidence-building yet emotionally unavailable, and how grief after his father’s death led to a dark season before community, honesty, and therapy helped him rebuild. Ajani explains how his work mentoring men centers on curiosity, gentleness, and asking “Are you okay?”, and he shares his Brunch Brothers books and where to find his work online.

  • Closed Doors Open New Paths | Ep 192 | The Dear Son, Show
    2026/06/08

    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: Not All Doors Are Created Equal | Closed Doors, Consistency & Mental Health


    On the Dear Son Show, hosts Jey Blac and D Johns discuss how closed doors can protect you and redirect you toward better opportunities, emphasizing that rewards are most sustainable when habits and discipline are established first. They share examples of a comedian whose oil-field dreams were denied but led to success in entertainment, and D Johns’ own career path where not getting one shipyard job opened a higher-paying role that shaped his leadership trajectory through learning each phase of the work. They compare life to a warehouse where each season offers tools and lessons, caution against forcing doors, celebrating too early via social media, and chasing outcomes without understanding the “why.” The conversation also addresses men’s mental health, resilience after setbacks, problem-solving, patience, and staying consistent while remaining open to unexpected opportunities.

  • Fatherhood is Stewardship | Parenting with Purpose | Ep 191 | The Dear Son, Show
    2026/06/06

    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.

  • There's 2 Sides to Every Coin | Unfair Projections In Fatherhood | Ep 190 | The Dear Son, Show
    2026/06/05

    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.


    Two Sides to the Coin: Parenting, Perspective, and Better Preparation | Dear Son Show


    In this episode of The Dear Son Show, hosts Jey Blac and D. Johns discuss the importance of perspective and “the other side of the coin,” using the idea of cassette tape B-sides to illustrate value beyond what’s most visible. They share real-life parenting and responsibility lessons, including a story about poor planning while moving a son out of his college dorm and frustrations with household cleanliness and accountability. The conversation expands to how parental coddling can create dependency, how to correct behavior without damaging relationships, and how to connect important responsibilities to personal desires. They also reflect on friendships across life phases, the impact of first impressions and presentation, and the lasting effect of adults who genuinely engage young people—especially those seen as “troublemakers.”

  • Fatherhood, Ministry, and Staying Humble in the Spotlight | Ep 189 | The Dear Son, Show
    2026/05/26

    Quentin Harris on Fatherhood, Ministry, and Staying Humble in the Spotlight | Dear Son Show


    On the Dear Son Show, host D Johns welcomes back QuIntin Harris, the young adult director at Concord Church, to discuss busy family life with a daughter in competitive dance and theater and a toddler son, and the ongoing need to “slow down” and stay present. They explore the tension of serving in ministry while prioritizing family, eliminating distractions, and being honest about motives as public recognition grows. Quentin shares how early ambition to grow the ministry through networking was misread as clout-chasing, prompting him to step back and let God lead, and he emphasizes keeping grounded friends for counsel amid shifting perceptions. The conversation also covers faith being marketed, balancing struggle and prosperity, how fatherhood reshaped his understanding of God’s unconditional love and grace, navigating church culture and titles, and ending with an encouragement that it’s never too late to come home to God.

  • Why Sons Stop Talking to Their Fathers | We Asked AI | Ep 188 | The Dear Son, Show
    2026/05/23

    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.


    Why Sons Stop Talking to Their Fathers | The Dear Son, Show


    The hosts use ChatGPT to suggest discussion topics for the Dear Son, Show and choose “Why sons stop talking to their fathers,” reflecting on how fathers’ seriousness, constant accountability, and communication style can make kids seek the “path of least resistance” with mom instead. They discuss male ego and pride when a child brings issues to the mother first, the importance of asking why a son doesn’t feel comfortable approaching dad, and how parents can present a unified front without using mom as a buffer. They emphasize balancing love and grace with timely, appropriate lessons, especially as older teens and young adults can walk away. They encourage dads to initiate regular, even trivial conversations so their voice isn’t only heard when something is wrong.
