Father On Purpose Podcast
Manhood Journey
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. 19: Disciple Your Kids, Don't Just Raise Them
Our goal as godly dads is to guide our children in their walk with Jesus Christ. It's easy to get lost in making sure they can nail a job interview or throw a tight spiral. In reality, the majority of our time should be focused on helping our kids grow in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Even though they may not follow as we hope, our intentionality in how we disciple our kids will help give them every opportunity to find life and peace on their spiritual journey.

Ep. 18: Stewardship Isn't Just About Money
Everything we own is on LOAN from God. Often we think of stewarding resources in terms of financial responsibility. That's important stuff. Yet, being a good steward is about much more than just managing our money well. It's about serving others with everything God has temporarily placed in our possession. All of it belongs to God and He's watching how we use it. Want to join a community of dads like you? Visit: https://fatheronpurpose.org/

Ep. 15: Does Prayer Really "Work"?
A lot of dads have wondered if prayer actually works? Maybe you've asked the same thing. Which leads us to ask: What do we mean by "work"? One guarantee we have from the Bible is that when we pray, the peace of God will always guard our hearts and minds. We don't need to be anxious. We just need to go to the Father in prayer.

Ep. 14: Let God's Word Lead the Way For You and Your Family
Diving into scripture can be intimidating. But don't let that keep you from investing valuable time in God's Word. As dads, we need to effectively handle the Bible so our kids can learn and grow in their knowledge as well. We can help them develop a love for the Bible and see how God's Word lights their path forward (Psalm 119). Want to join a community of dads like you? Visit: https://fatheronpurpose.org/

Ep. 13: Trusting in God is the Ultimate Fatherhood Compass
It's easy to get lost on our fatherhood journey, especially if we don't know how to find our compass. How can we know which direction is the right one? This is crucial, since we're entrusted to lead our families. God has the magnetic pull to get us on the right path. We can trust the Lord with all our heart and he will guide our steps.

Ep. 12: How Would Our Wives and Kids Rate Us as Dads?
Whoa, that's a scary question, right? But, worse than knowing the answer is having no clue at all. It can be hard to know how we're doing as dads and whether we're making progress. We probably don't want weekly surveys from our wives or kids (yikes!). So, let's ask ourselves some questions: Where are we now? Where are we going? Do we have the right equipment for the journey?

We're surrounded by knowledge and expertise. We often don't see it because we don't ask for it. Tons of guys have been through (something like) what you're going through. Let's see how one dad sought input from another one. You're only on this journey alone if you choose to be. Want to join a community of dads like you? Visit: https://fatheronpurpose.org/
