In this episode of Father and Friend, host Tim Anderson sits down with new father Wayne to discuss his powerful journey from hip hop culture and New Age spirituality to discovering faith in Christ, embracing fatherhood, and redefining family values. Wayne shares an honest and compelling story of his life—from growing up in Zimbabwe and England, to facing bullying, immersing himself in hip hop culture, and producing music that shaped his worldview. He reflects on how media, music, and culture often replaced the guidance of his father, leading him into destructive patterns. During the COVID-19 era, Wayne’s worldview was challenged, pushing him to explore conservative voices, self-improvement, and eventually New Age spirituality. But after terrifying spiritual experiences in Bali, Wayne and his wife encountered what they describe as spiritual attacks that ultimately led them to Christianity. Now a husband and father to a newborn daughter, Wayne shares how his faith in Christ reshaped his perspective on family, parenting, and culture. He emphasizes the biblical call for fathers to disciple their children, protect them from harmful influences, and lead their homes with love, discipline, and faith. This raw and inspiring conversation covers themes of fatherhood, faith, culture, parenting, media influence, spiritual transformation, and discipleship, offering valuable insights for dads and families navigating today’s world. ----------------------------------------------------- 📣What Next?
