#42 -- No More Deflecting: How Real Men Celebrate the Truth
from Christian Dad's Podcast · host James Pellicane
Some truths feel like gravel in your mouth: "You're too harsh with the kids." "You're married to your phone." "You're not the hero you think you are." Most dads dodge, deflect, or defend. 1 Corinthians 13 says real love does the opposite—it rejoices when the truth shows up, even when it hurts. In this direct, no-sugar-coating message, James Pellicane shows why dodging truth keeps us stuck and how leaning into it (about ourselves, our sin, and especially about God) actually sets us free. You'll leave with practical ways to welcome hard feedback at home, celebrate truth instead of resenting it, and model humility for your wife and children. Short, honest, and liberating for any father ready to grow up instead of cover up.
