Dads & Fathers 11: 12 Kids??? Interview with Reagan Givhan

About this episode

In this episode, Joseph Barlow interviews Reagan Givhan about his experiences raising twelve children and the importance of faith and intentionality in parenting.

Hey friends, Joe Barlow here — welcome back to the Joseph Barlow Podcast , also known as Dads & Fathers . Today is Episode 11 , and I’m genuinely excited because I’m bringing you an interview that I believe is going to strengthen you. I sat down with my new friend Reagan Givhan — and listen… this brother and his wife have twelve kids . Twelve. And what you’re going to hear isn’t just a “big family story”… it’s a testimony of grace , faith , and the way God supplies when you say yes to Him. Reagan leads a ministry called Holy Temple Fitness , and it’s not just about working out — it’s about being fit in every area: spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, and relationally. But the heartbeat you’re going to feel in this conversation is his passion for holiness , purity , and building a family on purpose — not by accident, not by pressure, but by hearing God and obeying Him. And we go deep — we talk about fatherhood identity , the grace to parent , the power of an open-heart relationship with your kids, and why that little question “why?” is so important… because it builds strength on the inside of your children, so they can stand when the world pushes back. Now quick…
