EP 78: Adventures in Fatherhood with Jason Weening

Some of you may be old enough to remember the sitcom Eight is Enough, about a family with eight children trying to get by. Well, for our guest in this podcast, it's not eight, but ten! Today, we're going to speak with Jason Weening, a dad of ten who has dedicated his life to fatherhood and helping other dads along the way. Jason and his wife, Alli, have been married for 20 years. He speaks to parents, encouraging them to be intentional in their "most important organization": their family! After spending 15 years in the business world, he moved into a ministry role at his local church. Their adventure-loving family recently returned from living in the Dominican Republic for 6 months. In 2024, he released an adventure book for kids, Danger in the Jungle. He co-hosts the Helping Men Thrive podcast and supervises the care of hens, ducks, cows, and vegetables on their small hobby farm. You can find him on his website, Helping Dads.
