Rob Kenney, lovingly known as the “Dad of the Internet,” created Dad, How Do I?, a YouTube channel that has grown to more than five million followers seeking practical advice, heartfelt encouragement, and, of course, a steady dose of dad jokes. And yet, behind the laughter is a story of resilience, forgiveness, and showing up when it matters most.

At just 14 years old, Rob’s father walked out, leaving him and his seven siblings to figure out life on their own. Years later, Rob transformed that pain into purpose, using his platform to share how-to tips, hope and inspiration.

Today, Rob shares how his faith gave him strength, how forgiving his father set him free, and why his mission to serve others continues to grow.

My friends, you’ll leave today’s conversation with a renewed sense of hope, the courage to forgive, and maybe even the confidence to tie a tie or unclog a drain.
