🎙️ Dad Schooled: Faith, Fatherhood & Leadership 🎙️

In this episode of DadSchooled, Josh and Jimmy talk about a thought many fathers have but rarely say out loud—the fear that they are letting their family down.Even when you’re working hard, providing, and trying to lead well, it can still feel like it’s not enough. Many dads carry the quiet weight of feeling like they should be doing more, doing better, or getting it right more often.This episode explores where that feeling comes from, how it affects the way dads lead their families, and what Scripture says about faithfulness, identity, and growth.We talk about:Why so many dads feel like they’re falling short The pressure fathers carry in today’s world How mistakes shape a dad’s mindset What the Bible says about imperfect men leading well Practical ways to reset and move forwardIf you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough as a dad or husband, this conversation is for you.Real dads.

In this episode of DadSchooled, Josh and Jimmy tackle a moment every father faces but few talk about openly—when your kids show disrespect.Whether it’s talking back, ignoring you, or pushing boundaries, these moments can hit deeper than we expect. They challenge our authority, test our patience, and often leave us wondering if we’re handling it the right way.We talk through why disrespect happens, how dads typically respond (and where we get it wrong), and what Scripture teaches about leading our kids with both strength and wisdom.This isn’t about reacting in anger or letting things slide—it’s about responding in a way that builds real respect over time, not fear or distance.In this episode, we cover:Why disrespect hits so deeply for fathersCommon mistakes dads make in these momentsThe difference between discipline and reactionBiblical principles for leading your children wellPractical ways to correct behavior while strengthening the relationshipIf you’ve ever felt disrespected by your kids and weren’t sure what to do next, this conversation is for you.Real dads.

But somehow, it still feels like it’s not enough.This episode dives into the pressure of modern fatherhood, the invisible expectations placed on dads, and how many men are measuring themselves against a standard God never set.We talk about: Why good dads often feel like failures The invisible “scorecard” fathers live under The pressure of modern expectations on men What Scripture actually says about faithfulness How to reset your mindset and lead with confidenceIf you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything you can and still coming up short, this episode is for you.
