Ned Schaut leans all the way into the calling of fatherhood by reflecting on the intentional steps he's taking with his 16-year-old son. With a heart full of purpose and a mindset of mentorship, Ned shares his real-time journey of helping his son build a life roadmap—one rooted in clarity, values, and vision. He opens up about fasting, family conversations, and creating opportunities for exploration beyond the traditional classroom. Ned also touches on the delicate dance between giving our kids freedom to be who they are and guiding them toward becoming who they’re meant to be. Whether you're navigating your child's next steps or still figuring out your own foundation, this episode is a rally cry for dads to be present, proactive, and profoundly engaged. The world needs fathers who show up—and it starts with you.
