On Fatherhood with Tanner Olson

Katie Blackburn, Ashlee Gadd
About this episode

Today, we’re doing things a little differently—our guest is a dad. Author and spoken word poet, Tanner Olson, shares his heart (and humor!) as we chat about his long journey to fatherhood and what God has taught him along the way. Tanner’s words and vulnerability are profound as he reminds us to  s l o w  d o w n , notice the world around us, and that there’s always hope in the midst of hardship. Oh, and he also tells us what dads actually want for Father’s Day, so don’t miss out. 

This show is brought to you ad-free by our generous Substack community. If you’d like to support the work we do for as little as $3/month, head to coffeeandcrumbs.substack.com to join us (and get bonus episodes!). For show notes, go to coffeeandcrumbs.net/podcast.
