LAB the Podcast with Patton Dodd | The Father You Get and the Ones You Become

In this conversation, Zach sits down with Author Patton Dodd to discuss his new book The Father You Get: And the Ones You Make, Believe In, and Become. Together they explore the fathers we’re born with, the father figures we create, our understanding of God as Father, and the ongoing journey of becoming fathers ourselves.Patton shares the deeply personal story behind the book, reflecting on a difficult relationship with his own father, the search for understanding and healing, the role of mentors and father figures, and the challenges of raising children in a complex world. Along the way, they discuss faith, masculinity, forgiveness, doubt, presence, and the courage it takes to face the stories that have shaped us.Whether Father’s Day brings celebration, grief, gratitude, or questions, this conversation offers a thoughtful invitation to better understand our fathers, ourselves, and the people we’re becoming.Thank you for joining the conversation and embodying the life and beauty of the gospel.
