In this episode of the New Dad Order Podcast, Ray and Parfait tackle a topic that hits harder than most men are willing to admit—friendship in adulthood.

Parfait shares a powerful experience reconnecting with lifelong friends during a meaningful golf tournament, reminding us what real brotherhood feels like when life slows down long enough to appreciate it. It’s more than nostalgia—it’s perspective.

Ray brings the other side of the conversation, opening up about something many men quietly deal with: not having that one person to call when life gets heavy. It’s honest, relatable, and something a lot of fathers—and men in general—don’t talk about enough.

Together, they break down:

• Why friendships change after marriage and kids
• The difference between old friends, new friends, and real friends
• How environments like sports, school, and the gym shape your circle
• Why many men feel isolated even when surrounded by people
• What it means to have friends who truly challenge and sharpen you

Built around the idea of Book of Proverbs 27:17 — “Iron sharpens iron”, this episode challenges you to evaluate your circle.

Do you have people in your life who make you better?

Or are you just staying comfortable?

This is a real conversation about brotherhood, growth, fatherhood, and finding your people again.

In this powerful episode of the New Dad Order Podcast, Ray and Parfait sit down with guest Tony Maska for a deep, thought-provoking breakdown of Bible prophecy, the end times, and the true meaning of salvation.Tony Maska leads a comprehensive discussion connecting the Book of Revelation, the Book of Daniel, and Old Testament prophecy, revealing how these texts form a unified narrative about the end of the world. The conversation explores the end times timeline, including the rapture, tribulation, Antichrist, and the return of Jesus Christ, while clarifying common misconceptions that often confuse believers and skeptics alike.A central theme of the episode is the distinction between grace vs works, with Tony explaining how the Apostle Paul’s message of salvation through grace and faith differs from earlier biblical frameworks. This leads into a deeper discussion on dispensationalism, the “age of grace,” and why many believe we are currently living in a unique window of time where salvation is freely available to all.The episode also dives into advanced biblical concepts rarely discussed in mainstream conversations, including the divine council (spirit realm), the Tower of Babel, Psalm 82, and the role of spiritual forces influencing human history. By connecting ancient civilizations, false gods, and biblical accounts, Tony presents a compelling perspective on how spiritual rebellion parallels human history.Listeners will gain insight into the relationship between Daniel’s four kingdoms and Revelation’s beasts, the difference between the rapture and the second coming of Christ, and why the ultimate focus of Bible prophecy is not fear—but preparation and faith.Throughout the conversation, Tony challenges a common belief: that being a “good person” is enough for salvation. Instead, he emphasizes the biblical message that salvation comes through accepting Jesus Christ, understanding grace, and aligning with truth rather than relying on works alone.This episode is both intellectually engaging and spiritually grounded, offering a rare blend of biblical theology, historical context, and practical application. Whether you are exploring Christianity for the first time or seeking a deeper understanding of end times prophecy, Revelation explained, or the meaning of faith, this discussion delivers clarity, conviction, and perspective.If you’ve ever wondered what the Bible really says about the end times, the rapture, and your role in it—this episode is essential listening.✦ Sponsored ByBurns Estate Planning & Wealth AdvisorsPresident & CEO: Ernie M.
