Episodes

  1. We all fail

    Cut yourself some slack

  2. When to step back and let kids take on bigger things

    I received some feedback in regards to the previous episode about commander’s intent

  3. Save your bullets

    Not everything is worth a fight. Save your bullets for when you really need them.

  4. Modeling Forgiveness

    The best way to teach our kids how to forgive is to ask them to forgive us when we’ve done wrong.

  5. The Commander’s Intent at Home

    Decentralizing command at home instead of expecting kids to just follow orders

  6. Value Challenge

    Struggle can mean growth and we should value that.

  7. Take the Risk

    Are you on the fence about a decision? Taking a risk just might be the best choice.

  8. Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

    It's a deadly game to compare your life to others' lives. Everyone has their own good and their own bad.

  9. Celebrate small victories

    Major victories in fatherhood can take years of hard work. Along the way there are many small wins that we can celebrate.

  10. The prescription for device addiction

    Are your kids glued to their electronic devices?

  11. Today is Someday

    Stop putting things off. "Someday" eventually comes and you've got to make good on all of those promises.

  12. Finishing is in my Blood

    Sometimes we teach our kids without trying

  13. Let them grow up

    People are remaining children long into what should be adulthood. You're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem.

  14. This is your life. Are you who you want to be?

    It's not about your circumstances. Are you, right here and right now, the kind of person you want to be?

  15. To be or not to be overprotective

    We have a choice to make in raising independent children

  16. The Car Line Blues

    Sometimes the things we complain about are blessings

  17. The mission of fatherhood

    “Father” is more than a title. It’s a calling.
