EP 389: The Capacity for a Man To Love His Children Is Not a Lacking Resource | Craft of Fatherhood

Ned takes us on a journey into the heart of parenting, punctuated by moments of raw vulnerability and genuine insight. Ned unravels the notion that fatherhood is constrained by the finite resources of time and money. He proposes a transformative perspective: our true capacity for love and connection knows no bounds. Through vivid anecdotes from his own life—skateboarding with his son, marveling at his daughter's new haircut, and the delicate balance of listening to their stories—Ned paints a picture of fatherhood that is rich with the opportunities of every micro-moment. He challenges fathers to see beyond the superficial metrics of time spent, focusing instead on the depth of presence in those fleeting interactions. Ned is rebelling against the scarcity mindset, urging fathers to recognize the abundance within their grasp. He advocates for a shift from a focus on what we lack to what we can offer through presence, attention, and an open heart. By embracing this mindset, Ned suggests, we not only enrich our relationships with our children but also tap into a wellspring of love that replenishes itself the more we give. Join Ned as he explores the infinite landscape of fatherhood, where every moment holds the potential for connection, every day is a canvas for love, and every father has the chance to leave an indelible mark on the hearts of his children.----------Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.Follow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fatherhoodfieldnotesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FatherhoodfieldnotesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rebelandcreate Mentioned in this episode:RUK Fitness
