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. 87: Romans 12 Pt. 4 - Spiritual Body Building
As men, we don't have a lot of time or patience for square pegs in round holes. We're looking for perfect fits and the results they produce. But God calls us to take a step back and consider our own "perfect fit." Understanding and using the gifts He provides can spell the difference between effective ministry and frustrating routines. As we continue our study of Romans 12, we're going to dive into the world of spiritual gifts and learn how we can make the body of Christ stronger.

Ep. 86: Romans 12 Pt. 3 - Why Humility Matters
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.

Ep. 81: A Model Dad - Living a Life Worth Imitating
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.

As a husband and dad, you’ve likely hit some rough patches over the years. Yet, so many guys feel completely overwhelmed by the struggles they face and the pain they experience. Thankfully, even our biggest challenges are never too big for God. In fact, He longs to use even our worst moments to make us more like Him. In today's episode, we'll hear from a listener who's walking through some struggles as a dad. Then we'll examine some important Scriptures about standing strong and finding hope in Him, especially during those seasons when we'd much rather throw in the towel.
