This week, I sit down with two best friends who became first time dads during the pandemic. I invited them onto the podcast to share their reflections in adjusting to fatherhood and also the unique lens of their strong friendship with one another through many seasons of life. We talked for nearly 2 hours as they reflected on their deep love for each other, their wives, their kids, and how this new identity has completely changed them for the better. While these two just became dads and the journey ahead is still vast and mighty, listening to them honor their wives, share some heavy reflections on how they hope to lead their families, and how they continue to value the pillars of their friendship is inspiring to say the least. Oh, but don't you worry, while there were many sweet words exchanged, I still got them to spill the tea on their reckless days and we even had some gossip time at the end about some of their other male besties ;) I also got rebuked a few times by these Enneagram 3 bros, so listen in for a good time! I bet you'll want to reach out to a dear bestie of yours after the episode ends <3
Dad #1, Joon Chong, currently lives in Seattle with his wife, Ashley, and daughter, Olivia, who just turned 1. He works as a product manager at Amazon and loves to explore new areas of Seattle, TV shows, foods, and hobbies with his family. Dad #2, Peter is a follower of Jesus, a husband to Kat, a father to 7 month old Elijah, a pastor at Seven Mile Road, and a weary Texas Longhorns fan. In spite of the humidity and traffic, Houston is home and the city he has grown to love a great deal. Happy Father's Day to all you amazing men out there! Your love and sacrifice do not go unnoticed <3
Both Joon and Peter are Enneagram 3's. Joon's MBTI is ENFJ - The Protagonist while Peter's is INFJ - The Advocate! #literalmatchmadeinheaven
