The Better Father: Why Praying for Your Kids Changes You First

What if praying for your kids is less about changing them and more about changing you?

Most fathers treat prayer like a spiritual checklist.

✅ Protect my child

✅ Bless my child

✅ Help my child

But beneath every request lies a harder truth most men avoid: your children belong to God more than they belong to you.

God's unlimited mind is set on your kids in ways your limited mind can't match. He loves them more, thinks about them more, holds them more securely. That's difficult for men who feel 100% responsible for their children's formation.

This episode explores why speaking about your children to God — letting them hear how you describe them to their Heavenly Father — shapes their identity and yours. You'll discover practical prayer rhythms that work with short attention spans and why your prayers should begin long before your kids can understand a single word.

The freedom anxious fathers need might start with three words: they're not mine.
