Father On Purpose Podcast
Being a godly dad is hard work. Challenges abound, and sometimes, we just need some ideas, encouragement, and a little laughter along the way. So, we created the Father On Purpose Podcast to have real, fun, and practical conversations about being dads. We've been honored with guests such as Chip Ingram, Stephen Kendrick, Gary Chapman, Clarence Shuler, and many more. Fatherhood is awesome, sacred, and hard all at the same time. We don't have all the answers, but together as dads, we'll try to figure it out. Find out how you're doing as a godly dad: https://bit.ly/GodlyDadQuiz

Ep. 198: By Wisdom a House is Built
Wisdom is one of the most talked about and heavily emphasized topics in Scripture. But what is it? While there are many aspects to a good definition of wisdom, we believe one of simplest and most concise ways to think about it is this: wisdom equals alignment with God's will. As you search for wisdom, the only place to start is with a firm foundation on God's Word. In today's episode, we look at the ways Scripture personifies Wisdom, what it means to build your life on the Rock, and how all of this applies to being a godly dad.

Ep. 197: Cameron Arnett on Playing The Part Of Jesus
Today, we have a very special guest. Cameron Arnett is an accomplished actor, author, speaker, director, and producer. Most importantly, he is a Christ follower. Our conversation with Cameron goes deep. We talk about how to be a godly dad when you never had one of your own, what it's like being a Christian in what can be a very dark industry, how God rescued Cameron from the evil he was a part of in Haiti, what it means to put Christ over career, and much more. Cameron's biggest piece of advice: we are all actors, the Bible is our script, and the part we're playing is that of Christ. How well do you play your part? Let's talk about that in today's episode.

God Of Wonders, Soul On Fire, I Need A Miracle...do any of those phrases sound familiar to you? If they don't, let us give you a hint: they're all song titles. Third Day is one of those bands in the Christian world that defined the sound of a generation, and in today's episode, we have the pleasure of chatting with Third Day co-founder and lead singer, Mac Powell. He's also a husband and a father to five kids, and when we asked him for his biggest piece of parenting advice, he said, "Realize that you were made for this." We walk through topics like how to be present with your kids when life and business get in the way, what it's like to love your teenage kids even (especially?) when they think you're lame, and many more mines of wisdom Mac has to share. Just like Mac said, as parents, we're never gonna completely figure it out, but we can't let that stop us from trying to figure it out. Go see Mac on tour!

As members of the human race, we have a problem. We will never be perfect, no matter how hard we try. Yet, so many men derail themselves as husbands and fathers by trying to keep up the facade of perfection. Like the old saying goes, it can be too easy for us to let perfect become the enemy of progress. In today's episode, we'll examine the benefits of ditching our drive for perfection in favor of a commitment to intentionality. It can be a tough transition, but it can make an eternal difference.

Memories. They can be a blessing or a curse. When they lead you toward gratitude and appreciation, there's nothing better. But if they keep you focused on guilt, pain, and "what could have been," you need to find a way to put them in your rearview mirror . . . and fast. Letting your past dominate and define you as a man is a dangerous and unhealthy way to live. It lands you on the bench when you should be making major contributions in the lives of your family and friends.

Teams that thrive are built around teammates who work well together. But that's not possible if players refuse to take ownership of their failures or, even worse, blame others for their mistakes. The same principle is true as a man. You can't prosper and grow if you turn a blind eye to your shortcomings or point the finger at your wife, kids, and friends. Instead of deflecting the blame, you've got to seek forgiveness and repair the damage. If you want to get off the bench–and become the best teammate possible–it's crucial to make it right.

Any athlete worth his salt knows that once you get off the bench, you never want to go back. Your goal is to stay in the game. Our God-given purpose as men of faith is to stay off the sidelines and to serve our wives, kids, co-workers, and friends with integrity and intentionality. But we can't do that if we refuse to be honest about our mistakes. We have to be able to call it out. As we start the second half of our Don't Bench Yourself series, we're going to look at four ways we can choose to stay off the bench. This week, the first one we'll focus on is the ability to "Call It Out." We're all going to miss the mark at times, but as we'll learn in this episode, the key to staying in the game is coming clean about our miscues and taking responsibility for making them right.

Ep. 177: Don't Bench Yourself - Impatience
"Hurry up!" How many times have you said this as a dad, maybe to your kids, your wife, or even to God? Patience is something that every single one of us struggles with as a father. It's so easy to give up when we don't see the results we're wanting, when we want them. "I'm still angry." "My kids still feel lonely." On and on the list can go. The bench can look really comforting when we're feeling like no matter what we do, we're not getting anywhere. However, we can't always rely on key performance indicators to determine our spiritual growth. Sometimes, all we can do is trust God's plan and keep pushing forward. In today's episode, we look at some encouragement from God's Word to keep running the race and completing the good work he has for you. Don't let impatience keep you on the bench.

However, these are some of the best opportunities for us to grow as dads. We miss out on these opportunities when we let shame keep us on the bench. Shame is one of Satan's trickiest and most clever tools that he has to use against us, but in today's episode, we cover what shame really is, where it comes from, and some of the ways to fight it. Christ's sacrificial love provides us with the strength we need to get off the bench and put shame back in it's place.

As guys, we often pride ourselves in being fearless. We never want to appear weak or unsure of ourselves. But the truth is, we all wrestle with fear to some degree. It's a universal affliction that's impossible to escape, especially on our own. That's where God comes in. Through His Word, he commands us to “fear not” and reminds us that we can face the things we dread in a godly, biblical way. Then, once we get a handle on those fears, we can teach our kids how to overcome their anxieties.

The challenges and struggles of being a godly husband are real. That's why it's important to seek help and encouragement every step of the way. Since its publication in 2011, The Meaning of Marriage by the late pastor and author Tim Keller has provided insight and guidance for men seeking to make their marriage all God wants it to be. Today, we discuss three key quotes from The Meaning of Marriage and some related Scripture verses that point us in the right direction as husbands and fathers. Unity, sacrifice, and love are three defining features of a godly marriage, and Keller's book gives us a good idea of what it looks like to become a husband that embodies those attributes. Whether you've read it before and need a refresher, or you're hearing about it for the first time, The Meaning of Marriage and Keller's key principles found within can make a difference in your life and your marriage.

Ep. 169: When the Bible Hits Hard
Sometimes, the Bible doesn’t just comfort us—it challenges us to rethink our attitudes, actions, and beliefs. We’ve all encountered challenging Bible verses that are hard to accept, passages that seem too difficult to follow or that make us uncomfortable.

Ep. 149: Sayings That Fall Short
Words mean things. That's why we need to be incredibly careful about the words we use—and the words we believe. Our cultural vocabulary is filled with phrases that might sound motivational on the outside, but they miss the mark of what Jesus wants His followers to know about who they are and who He created them to be. He needs to be the filter for everything we say or hear about ourselves and others. Take these common phrases and compare them to the truth of God's Word: 1) Take it like a man 2) Every cloud has a silver lining 3) Don't put all your eggs in one basket 4) Good things come to those who wait 5) Ignorance is bliss 6) Look before you leap 7) Play devil's advocate 8) There are other fish in the sea 9) There's no such thing as a free lunch 10) You can't have your cake and eat it too Handcrafted Leather Goods: Shop Range Leather .

From God's perspective, it's a good thing for a man to make his mark in the world by developing a reputation for working hard to support himself and his family. But a solid work ethic is not reserved for the marketplace. It also involves the effort we put into being a husband and father. It has its own set of rewards for the home.

None of us like to be called out. As guys, it goes against our grain to hear and receive negative feedback, even if it's meant for our own good. We tend to see "constructive criticism" as an oxymoron. But, if we're honest, we also wrestle with the nagging truth that nobody's perfect. We've all got room for improvement. We all fall short of God's standards. We all need a little accountability in our lives. Proverbs 12 reminds us that accepting loving discipline can protect us from dangerous and destructive choices in life. It's a sign of godly wisdom. More importantly, it's a gift from the God who loves us more than we can imagine. Ordinary Angels tells the story of a dad (Alan Ritchson from Reacher) who will do anything to protect his family.

Most guys are wired to be doers. Too often, we think we aren't achieving anything of purpose unless we're running full-throttle into every fire and fighting every battle. For many of us, action equals success. But Jesus had a different take on what really matters in life. In John 15, He emphasized that our work for God is not nearly as important as the work God accomplishes through us.

It’s always better to be a giver than a receiver, and the greatest gift guys can give their wives, their kids, their friends, and their co-workers is the gift of time. But truly investing time requires more than our physical presence. We've got to give the people closest to us our undivided attention. We’ve got to put the distractions on the shelf and really plug into the words and hearts of those around us. In such a noisy and chaotic culture, that can be easier said than done; but it's the only way to make and maintain strong connections in the relationships that matter most.

Flip on the television, listen to the radio, or search the internet. It won't take long to discover just how badly our world needs some good news—a breath of fresh air in a culture that so often chokes out the positive.

You hold the key to ensuring good news takes root and grows in your house. Proverbs 25 offers some great insight into giving your family a safe space and the impact of sharing a cold cup of water with the thirsty souls living under your roof.

We reach for one shiny ribbon after another in our search for something that will move us ahead or fill some aching void in our lives. We're convinced that just a little “more” will provide purpose. In truth, what we what we really need is contentment!

Men have a natural desire to be the smartest guy in the room. Deep down, we love being the one who solves every problem and ends every debate. Even with our children, we often tell them what’s right instead of letting them discover God’s truth on their own. If your kids are going to reach their God-given potential, though, they’ll need to struggle some and find their own answers to the biggest questions in their lives. That’s healthy, but that also involves taking a step back. You’ll need to embrace the role of pointing them in the right direction instead of being the guy with all the answers.

For centuries, believers have taken comfort in biblical words and images found in passages like Psalm 23. We love the idea of walking beside still waters. That's probably because we know life doesn't usually work that way. The waters might be calm for a while; but, without warning, we find ourselves caught in the whitewater. We experience the fear of those moments when we're doing all we can to avoid the rocks and keep our heads above water. Thankfully, we never navigate the rapids alone.

When the ancient Hebrews talked about the heart, they focused on every nook and cranny of a person's being. Everything was rooted in the heart, which also made it a prime spiritual battlefield. That’s why Solomon said that guarding your heart was one of the most important things you could do in life. Truth is, not much has changed since Solomon's day. As a man, you still need to guard your heart because it still connects every dot in your life.

So, early on in his letter to the Colossians, he urged his friends to continue their conversations with Jesus and to never forget why He is worthy of all honor. Things haven’t changed much. As guys living for God in the 21st century, Paul's insights are still words we can live by. If we want to grow into the husbands and fathers God created us to be, we've got to make the truths of Colossians 1 a huge part of who we are.

They just keep swinging, working to make the most of the other 30 percent. Sometimes as a dad, we just have to keep swinging even though we might be striking out. But the truth is, the perfect father is a fantasy. The perfect husband is a myth. You're going to make mistakes as a man. You're going to swing and strike out more times than you'd like.

There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance; and, even as Christian men, we fight the temptation to cross it. Truth is, God never created us to go it alone or live on an island. We're made to do life together with other believers within the body of Christ. In our ongoing study of Romans 12, we'll reflect on what it means to keep a humble view of ourselves and the importance of fulfilling our role within the body.

Ep. 85: Romans 12 Pt. 2 - Taking Shape
If you’ve ever used a cookie cutter, then you know what the world wants to do to you. The broken and sinful spirit of today's culture wants to shape us into its image. But as believers, we are called to a higher standard. Instead of being conformed to a failing system, we are challenged to be transformed into the likeness—the shape—of Christ. As we continue our study of Romans 12, we’ll zero in on verse 2 and learn how being transformed can help us become the men God created us to be. What is Manhood Journey?

Ep. 84: Romans 12 Pt. 1 - Living as a Sacrifice
Sacrifices were a vital part of worship in Old Testament Israel because they foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. What we forget sometimes is that God still challenges us to offer sacrifices to Him. These days, the offerings aren’t sheep, bulls, and goats. Instead, God expects us to surrender our very lives to Him. This week’s podcast marks the beginning of a series on Romans 12. As we dig into the incredible passage of Scripture, we’ll see what it means to be a living sacrifice—and the practical impact that can have on our lives as men, husbands, and fathers.

Ep. 83: You Can Overcome Anxiety (Pt. 2)
When a basketball player steps to the line for a free throw, he has to be relaxed. He also has to trust the countless hours of repetition he has invested in the process. In some ways, overcoming worry works the same way. We serve a mighty God who is absolutely trustworthy. So, we can relax and rest in Him. On top of that, the more we put that trust into practice, the easier it becomes to replace our anxieties with faith in Him. In today's episode, we'll continue our conversation about kicking worry to the curb by sharing some practical ideas for growing in our faith.

Ep. 82: Overcoming the Power of Anxiety (Pt. 1)
Let’s be honest . . . none of us have to look very far to find something to worry about. As guys, we’ve got our hands full trying to keep any number of plates spinning: marriage, fatherhood, career, faith, and so much more. And all of them provide fertile ground for anxiety to take root and grow. But God calls us to let go of our fears and to put our trust fully in Him. In this podcast, we’ll see what the Bible says about dumping worry in favor of steadfast faith in the One who loves us and longs for us to live in His peace.

Genetics ensure that your kids will inherit some of your physical characteristics. But it’s modeling that guarantees that they will pick up on the things that matter most in life. When it comes to being a dad, more is caught than taught, so you need to make sure the example you set reflects the spiritual and relational integrity you want your kids to imitate—because they will imitate you. In this podcast, we’ll dig into the topic of modeling and the impact it can have on your family, both now and into eternity.

Every father wants the best for his children. But before they can help their kids become the best version of themselves, many fathers need to discover their own true identity.

The Hulk is the only person in history who’s ever benefitted from being angry all the time. And, of course, he's make-believe, which means anger only creates pain and damages relationships in the real world. Yet, men tell us time and again that anger is one of their primary struggles.

For many guys, patience is not so much a virtue as an elusive unicorn. Sure, we’d all like to be more patient, but most of us just can’t stomach the idea of waiting around for it. In a world where we can download an app in mere seconds, allowing God to walk us down the long road toward patience doesn’t feel practical—or even desirable. In today’s episode, we’ll hear from guys like you who struggle to cultivate patience in their lives. We’ll also dig into some practical ideas for creating space to let it grow from the inside out.

Ep. 72: What’s the Role of a Father? w/ Pastor Scott Nickell
In today's culture, the role of a father is often presented as a joke. When in reality, a father's role is infinitely more than that. God chose to use the primary descriptor "Father" for Himself. Why? well, like He is our perfect provider and an example for us to follow here on earth, we should strive to be that for our children. "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4).

Ep. 71: Building Bridges - Connecting with Your Kids
When our kids were younger, connecting with them was so much easier. We were the knights in shining armor, the ones who could do no wrong. But, as our kids get older, they drift. Sure, it’s natural, and it may even be healthy. But for most dads, all the adolescent psychology in the world doesn’t make it any easier. Well, take heart because there is hope! In this week’s episode, we’ll look at some practical ways to nurture and protect that special bond that dads share with their sons and daughters.

One thing is guaranteed for every day: It only has 24 hours. That translates to 2,460 minutes or 86,400 seconds. No matter how you slice it, though, you never have enough time! As a man, a husband, and a father, you probably feel the tension of keeping all your plates spinning each day. We know because we asked our listeners about their biggest struggles, and "priorities" ranked near the top of the list. So, in this episode, we're taking a look at what the Bible says about time and time management.

Ep. 67: Proverbs 16 Pt. 9 - How Gossip Wrecks Relationships
One little patch of ice can send a car spinning into a guardrail. One small spark can ignite an enormous wildfire. And one snippet of gossip can damage a relationship forever. You may not think of yourself as “the gossiping kind,” but all of us wrestle with rumors and innuendos more than we’d like to admit. As we wrap up our study of Proverbs 16, we’ll dig deeper into what gossip really means—and why godly men need to ruthlessly remove it from their conversations.
S1 E66 · Fri, October 07, 2022
Ep. 66: Proverbs 16 Pt. 8 - Making the Most of Our Words
One of the biggest lies we hear in life is that words can never harm us. Truth is, words can wound us deeply. Even worse, our words can do infinitely more damage to our family and friends than sticks or stones ever could. While men do so many things well, speaking life into those we love can be a particular challenge; yet our influence as husbands, fathers, and friends depends on keeping a leash on our lips. As we continue our study of Proverbs 16, we’ll learn some important lessons about making sure our words don’t get in the way of what God wants us to be and do for His glory.
S1 E65 · Fri, September 30, 2022
Ep. 65: Proverbs 16 Pt. 7 - Chasing God's Wisdom
Nowhere is the clash of worldviews more apparent than in the struggle between gaining wisdom and collecting wealth. For centuries, the world has pushed us toward more stuff, while the Bible has challenged us to look up to discover what's most important in life. Wealth isn't evil, of course, but men of God are called to pursue something higher. As we continue our study of Proverbs 16, we'll examine what wisdom is really all about—and how we dads can seek wisdom for ourselves.
S1 E64 · Fri, September 23, 2022
Ep. 64: Proverbs 16 Pt. 6 - Living with integrity across the board
Despite what the culture might suggest, integrity is not something you can simply turn on and off like a light switch. As a man of God, if you’re going to have integrity in any part of your life, you’ve got to live with integrity in every part of your life. What’s more, the example you set as a husband and father becomes the legacy you leave for future generations. As we continue our study of Proverbs 16, we’ll talk about how to embrace a lifestyle defined by integrity—and the impact it can have on the world around us.
S1 E63 · Fri, September 16, 2022
Ep. 63: Proverbs 16 Pt. 5 - Pleasing God to find peace
We live in a world defined by conflict. Whether it’s war among nations, arguments over politics, or even strife within the body of Christ, tensions run high and patience runs low. Between the external battles people fight with one another and the internal turmoil that steals our serenity, peace feels like a rare and precious commodity. Yet, as we learn from Proverbs 16, God has given us a recipe for genuine peace. Living our lives in a way that pleases Him is the only guaranteed path to peace in our lives and in our world.
S1 E62 · Fri, September 09, 2022
Ep. 62: Proverbs 16 Pt. 4 - From fallen to forgiven
Nobody’s perfect. Intellectually, we know that to be true, but that rings hollow when we come up short and fall into the quicksand of sin. While our sin might create problems with our relationships here on earth, it ultimately offends the God who created us and sent His Son to die for us. Thankfully, He has proven time and again that He is faithful to forgive when we come to Him in humility. As we continue our study of Proverbs 16, we’ll see that God’s trustworthy love and grace can help us course correct so we can become the men He created us to be.
S1 E61 · Fri, September 02, 2022
Ep. 61: Proverbs 16 Pt. 3 - Taking steps to understand our motives
As guys, we like to act like we have it all together. But more times than we'd like to admit, our greatest enemy is the guy staring back at us from the mirror. Whether we're dealing with a spirit of bitterness or trying to make ourselves look better, our own arrogance and judgmental attitudes toward others often keep us from being the men God created us to be. Solomon understood that character flaw as well as anyone. In today's episode, we'll see how he addressed it in our ongoing study of Proverbs 16.
S1 E60 · Fri, August 26, 2022
Ep. 60: Proverbs 16 Pt. 2 - Letting God take the lead in our planning process
The old cliché tells us that failing to plan means we’re planning to fail. But, as guys, we’ve all experienced those moments when our best-laid plans come crashing to the ground. As we’re streaking toward the finish line, we twist an ankle or stumble on a rock. Truth is, planning for the future is an important part of life—as long as we do it the right way. That’s because our plans only work as they line up with God’s plans. More than anything else, we need His wisdom to navigate the twists and turns of this life. As dads and husbands, we’d do well to remember that often. And leaning into the wisdom of Proverbs 16 is a great place to start!

Ep. 59: Proverbs 16 Pt. 1 - Setting the Table
We all know that Bible study is supposed to be an important part of our lives as men and as believers. The sheer amount of wisdom to be had from a single verse can change your life. Yet, so many of us struggle to find the bandwidth to dig into God’s Word the way we should. The desire may be there, but we just don’t know where to start. As we set the table for our series in Proverbs 16, it's important to examine what the book is all about and how we dads can squeeze wisdom from each principle.

Sports can be a blessing and a curse for parents. On one hand, the lessons on the field can instill important character qualities like teamwork, self-discipline, and hard work. On the other hand, sports can become an obsession that sucks both time and money from your family and their values. The trick, though, is maintaining balance and making sure your child develops a solid grasp on life beyond the scoreboard. In this episode, former major leaguer and Olympian Pat Combs offers some valuable advice for navigating your kids through the landmines of travel teams and trophies, while also setting their feet firmly on a course that nurture’s godly character above all else.

As men, fathers, and husbands, gratitude is one of our most significant tools. Unfortunately, the selfishness that betrays us all can be the ultimate gratitude killer. Selfishness thrives in a life that’s not aligned with God, so the end result is always the same: pain and destruction. The key for us dads is to root selfishness out of our lives so the Father’s character can shine through.

Ep. 55: Learning to kick entitlement to the curb
One problem with the rat race is that it turns us all into rats more than we care to admit. As guys, it’s easy to let feelings of entitlement seep in and poison the well of our lives. We get so worked up chasing the next big thing that we miss what God has put right in front of us. We let our first-world problems blind us to blessings many can only dream of. As Christ followers, though, we’re called to a different standard. Instead of wallowing in entitlement, God has wired our hearts for gratitude and generosity. He’s changed the rules—and we’re actually at our best when we’re putting ourselves on the back burner.

Ep. 54: Comparison, The thief of contentment
In a world where social media makes everyone else’s at-bats seem like a home run, it’s easy to feel like you’re striking out every time you step up to the plate. The weight of comparison can quickly pull you down to some dark places both emotionally and spiritually. What’s more, the patterns you set in your life can have a tremendous impact on the lives of your wife and kids. Thankfully, the Bible gives each of us a game plan for guarding our hearts and minds against unhealthy comparisons—and for embracing the joy that’s found in being content with God’s plans and purposes.

Ep. 53: Chasing riches is an enemy of gratitude and a catalyst for discontentment
Chasing riches is an enemy of gratitude and a catalyst for discontentment: A lot of things can steal our contentment as dads; especially something like money that will have us staring at our bank account, obsessed with the numbers inside. Only serving money will usher destruction into our lives. However, If we trust God with our money, we'll soon discover genuine gratitude and learn how little we actually NEED. If we give (money, time, energy, expertise) out of pure generosity and desire to serve others, God's grace can flow through us and into them.

Ep. 49: 10 ways to serve on Father's Day (Bonus Episode)
Culture tells us that Father's Day is the one day each year when it's OUR day. A day for us to receive gifts - socks, a tie maybe, who knows - a belt? Even Father's Day cards are great. But the underlying message from culture is you deserve to receive. So, let's flip the script this year, go against the grain and use Father's Day as a day to MODEL service to others - especially those in our own family. Let's be counter-culture and celebrate who we are as Fathers On Purpose!

Ep. 48: The fatherhood traps of tradition and replication
As dads, we are the steward of our children, but it's God who owns them at the end of the day. We must serve our kids and give them every chance to know God and love Him; after that, it's up to them. We just have to let God direct their adult life and not connect our success as fathers to "their success." Whatever they get into, whether music, cars, or something we know nothing about, all we gotta do is be there when they need us the most. The rest can be left up to the Lord.

Dads need to know they always have another chance with the Lord on their side. So, why should we dads go through life trying to figure everything out by ourselves when we've got the ultimate partner in the Lord? All we have to do is ask God for help and let Him show us the way.

E. 46: How husbands can help their wives to cultivate mother-child relationships
Husbands have a unique role in ensuring their kids treat mom with the utmost respect and dignity. When they give her lip, we're there to reinforce her authority. And being a cultivator not only applies to bad behavior, but we can also promote good behavior and encourage acts of compassion. Team up with your kids and try buying her flowers and surprise her with her favorite snack. Those moments will not only instill godly principles in our kids, but they will also be a catalyst for a greater mother-child connection.

Ep. 45: How to prioritize our time as busy husbands and fathers
How should we deal with symptoms of imbalance that take valuable time away from our family? As loving husbands and fathers, our relationship with our wives and kids requires a much larger time commitment than anything else (if you want them to love you, that is!). So, let's ask ourselves: For the 16 hours we're awake each day, what can we do to carve up that time in a way that honors God, honors our family, and honors our professional duties? It's definitely not an easy task, nor one size fits all. But simply having awareness and intentionality are all we need to prioritize the most important parts of our lives.

Ep. 43: The godly dad rebukes those who wander
The last episode in the Nehemiah series calls on us dads to let our kids know when they're just not doing it right. When we rebuke our children, it's crucial to be wise in how we go about it. One idea is to keep the conversation private, mainly because kids can quickly become embarrassed when their actions are challenged in a public setting. The real power of rebuking comes when done in a private, loving manner. When we take our time and measure our response to an emerging issue, our kids are more likely to trust us to get them back on track.

Ep. 42: The godly dad praises God through worship
Two leading factors in whether or not our kids will pursue a spiritual connection with God as adults include the kind of music they listen to and if they participate in Bible study. We dads can't control everything our kids become exposed to, good or bad. And these life patterns and experiences can significantly impact their spiritual relationship with the Lord in adulthood. So that begs the question: What can we do now to lead our children spiritually and give them the best shot at walking with the Lord when they leave home?

Ep. 41: The godly dad proclaims God's Word regularly
An essential part of our mission as dads is to anchor our families in the Word of God. Whether it's a routine devotional or chat at the dinner table, every moment in God's Word matters. Even weaving Biblical perspective into age-appropriate current events - sports, news, politics, entertainment, etc. can work wonders. Take something from the cultural moment, and tie it back to Scripture. "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." - Ephesians 6:4.

Ep. 40: The godly dad anticipates that trouble will arise
Jesus said, "in this world you will have trouble" (John 16:33). So, let's make a list of potential trouble our kids may get into - it's not an infinite list - dating, porn, money, drugs, school fights, bad grades, disrespectful behavior, they may become Kentucky basketball fans, etc. Having our awareness level on high alert makes it much easier to anticipate trouble when it appears over the horizon. Now, when this trouble does arrive, don't be shocked beyond belief when "your little angel" gets in a fight or has a pack of smokes in their backpack. That's our job - to help our kids know what kind of trouble they're headed for and steer them in the right direction. Tell us what's challenging you: https://manhoodjourney.org/podcast

Ep. 39: The godly dad protects loved ones from danger
What does it mean to "not live in constant fear?" How do we manage fear and ignorance when parenting our kids? There's often a balancing act between letting our kids experience the world for themselves and being overprotective. Remember that God puts up guardrails (danger), but He also puts up the promise. If we're going to protect our loved ones from danger, we must make them aware of what threatens them physically, spiritually, and emotionally. As dads, the ability to arm those we love with truth is one of our most powerful tools. Want to learn more about Nehemiah?

Ep. 38: The godly dad discerns true needs around him
Dad, would you become closer to your kids if you asked better questions? Amid the constant challenges dads face (financial, relational, time management), it can be difficult to discern the TRUE needs around us. As we observe new challenges in our family, the ability to ask good questions can bring about great solutions. One where the situation is grounded in clarity and the problem is resolved.

Ep. 37: The godly dad risks comfort to pursue calling
What makes you uncomfortable? For the vast majority of us dads, we face daily challenges that we must have the courage to overcome. We are asked on a daily basis to step into a spiritual battle with our children or to engage in conversations with our families about complex topics. And, of course, we're asked to be honest and loving fathers, both of which require a big deal of courage in the face of life's chaos. It's important to tackle the tough conversations and challenges that arise each day. It's even more important to have peace in the discomfort that comes from these situations.

Ep. 36: The godly dad glorifies God in all he does
Glory can be one of our biggest downfalls when we direct it away from God. It often brings out the opposite of an "attitude of gratitude." We can't let our successes (financial, career, life accomplishments) convince us that we did it all on our own. Resisting the temptation to lay claim to personal triumphs helps bring glory to God's grace, not ourselves. "But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.” (Deuteronomy 8:18). Download 2 chapters of Bring Your Hammer for free: manhoodjourney.org/HAMMER

As we prepare our kids for the road ahead, are we identifying the areas in life where they are struggling? Asking ourselves and them how can we help? As the strategic leaders in our families, it's important to have a solid plan to serve our kids. What are the deepest needs they have? Start with questions and let those guide you in helping their situation and spiritual growth. Your game plan will help your families discern the problem and build towards the solution.

Ep. 34: The godly dad loves those under his care
The life of Nehemiah can be tied to fatherhood in several ways. One is the opportunities we take to show love to our families. Nehemiah was always concerned with how others were progressing through life. Are we having intentional conversations and making sure everything is ok with our kids (even if they're out of the home)? Do we ask them for ways we can pray for them? As dads, we need to be present and diligent with our kids. It is time we will long for when it's gone but can never get back.

Ep. 33: Being a dad is hard work. You need the right tools.
We dads often think that being a leader in the typical sense is good enough: food is on the table, the kids have clothes, and we take Sunday trips to the church where we learn about God. However, as Nehemiah teaches us, the idea of simply being a "leader" at home isn't enough. We must be the spiritual leaders that guide and guard our children. When we take that step to lead and be involved in our family's spiritual development, we're literally filling the role that God called us to serve (Ephesians 6:4).

Ep. 32: Helping kids with anxiety and creating a peaceful home w/ Stephen Kendrick
In today's world, technology and pop culture can often have a greater influence on our kids than we do. So, why do our kids become depressed after watching other people's highlight reels on social media, and what can we do about it? Father and Christian film producer Stephen Kendrick shares some practical steps dads can take to help their kids find inner peace as they navigate the modern social arena. Having a peaceful home is every dad's goal; we just need to trust God and cherish our families to help get us there.
S1 E31 · Fri, February 11, 2022
Ep. 31: We become more patient with our kids through God's Spirit
Have you ever wanted more fruit of the Spirit in your life? When talking about patience specifically, It's important we dads realize that our kids have a genetic desire to connect with us. Therefore, they'll bug us even when our work obligations or the game have our attention. It's our job to call on God's Spirit for the patience and gentleness to respond appropriately. They need us when they need us, not when our schedules allow.

Ep. 30: Pray for the future spouse your child will marry
If you have young kids, you are probably thinking about who that "special someone" may be for your son or daughter. There may be a few characteristics you want that person to have. You probably want them to follow Jesus, be honest and kind. And, clearly, if they're to earn your child's affection, they must know which chicken restaurant is the best (do I have to say it out loud?). Pray for your kids to have a "godly filter" for their future spouse, and to have the wisdom to "know one when they see one." Want to join a community of dads like you?

Ep. 29: The sex talk is not one talk, it's M.A.N.Y. of them
It's time to talk! As dads, our goal is to raise our kids to honor God in their sexuality. Therefore, it's essential to have M.A.N.Y. talks with our kids related to sexual purity. And more importantly, these aren't one-way lectures. Over time, invite your kids to ask questions and spark real conversations at various stages of their understanding. Try not to baby them, tell it to them straight. They will engage if you lead with openness and sincerity. Want to join a community of dads like you? Visit: https://fatheronpurpose.org

Ep. 28: We are not chained to our past, thanks to forgiveness and mercy
How we grew up can indeed affect our own fathering. Yet, we are not slaves to our past. Jesus taught us how to forgive, and He commanded us to do it. This is not so the offender gets "off scot free," but so that we are not burdened by our past. How we address our own past can set the stage for how our children relate to God. God Himself has equipped us with all the tools we need to successfully lead our kids closer to Him, regardless of how we got to where we are now. Want to join a community of dads like you?

Ep. 27: Can you humbly admit your role in the problem?
It's easy to blame challenges with our kids on every other factor but our own actions. Many of our issues at home boil down to a lack of communication. As dads, we make things worse by constantly telling and rarely asking. You tell your little kids everything. Go to bed. Put that down. Stop it. "Kenny, don't paint your sister." But, especially for teens, this approach backfires. Let's admit we are telling when we should be asking, and grow together in this area.

Ep. 26: Is your mouth a fountain of life?
Dad, understanding the power of our words is crucial. Would you define what comes out of your mouth as a "fountain of life"? Have your words been encouraging? Do you reflect God's righteous example in what you say? These are very powerful and undoubtedly tough questions. Nobody's perfect at this. Yet, our goal as encouraging fathers is to become a verbal reminder of God's love and joy in the lives of our family. Let's explore how to do that. Want to join a community of dads like you?

Ep. 24: A Great Gift a Dad Can Give His Kids
Our kids don't need to receive physical gifts from us to feel loved and appreciated. The reality is, our time and focused attention means the world to them (way more than any new gaming console or pair of shoes). And the best part is our kids already have all the fun activities lined up. All we need to do is lean in and dress up for the tea party or gear up for the covert operation to take down Darth Vader.

Our goal as godly dads is to guide our children in their walk with Jesus Christ. It's easy to get lost in making sure they can nail a job interview or throw a tight spiral. In reality, the majority of our time should be focused on helping our kids grow in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Even though they may not follow as we hope, our intentionality in how we disciple our kids will help give them every opportunity to find life and peace on their spiritual journey.

Everything we own is on LOAN from God. Often we think of stewarding resources in terms of financial responsibility. That's important stuff.

A lot of dads have wondered if prayer actually works? Maybe you've asked the same thing. Which leads us to ask: What do we mean by "work"?
