Raising Arrows
Raising Arrows is a podcast for the dad who's about to have his whole world flipped upside down — and the one who already has.
Hosted by Connor Sykes and Scott Stewart — two young fathers, husbands, and Christ-followers deep in the trenches of early fatherhood. Whether you just found out she's pregnant, you're holding your newborn wondering what the hell you got yourself into, or you're chasing a toddler who has zero regard for your energy levels — this show is for you.
We're not parenting experts. We're not talking from the other side of it. We're in it right now, and we're bringing you the raw, real conversations about what it looks like to step up as a husband, lead your home, stay close to God, and actually enjoy the wildest season of your life.
The stuff nobody told us. The stuff we wish someone had. That's what this show is.
"Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth." — Psalm 127:4
