148 - 15 years old and surprise you're a dad - What now?

This week I visit with Andy Van Order owner of Andy’s Auto Care +. We explore his amazing story of becoming a dad at 15 and manning up to take care of his son. No, it wasn’t easy but he dug in and not only did what was required to raise and support his son but to become the man he is today. Join the conversation as we explore Being the dad of 7 kids Having a kid at 15 years old Made it a goal of being a better dad than mine Not having the support of peers and his mom Facing the stage where half the kids are out of the house and half are still at home At that time his mom was dealing with depression so working through the challenge of having a kid by himself The goal of getting off government assistance When he was single was at the point of never getting into a relationship again. When he finally met his wife - committing to being in it for the long haul Key things he and his wife have done to make it 15 years Praying together as a family Dynamic of being a dad with such a range of kids’ ages.
