Like looking into a mirror, God's Word shows us what we are as husbands and fathers...and it's always an accurate reflection. Thankfully, it also gives us a glimpse of what we can become with God's help. In this episode, we'll continue the deep dive into Psalm 112 and learn more about how this Scripture passage can transform you into a spouse and dad who blesses his family and fits perfectly into God's plans and purposes.

A new year is upon us, and this often gives us a chance to feel like we have a fresh start. Scripture tells us that even Jesus grew intellectually, physically, spiritually and socially. If He had room to grow in those areas, we certainly have room to grow as fathers, husbands, friends, and Christ followers. In this episode, we'll be talking about healthy ways to turn the page in the new year and considering some helpful actions that will help us become more godly dads in the coming months.

What’s Your Mission as a Dad?
Being a godly dad is hard work. Challenges abound, and sometimes, we just need some ideas, encouragement, and a little laughter along the way. So, we created the Father On Purpose Podcast to have real, fun, and practical conversations about being dads. Fatherhood is awesome, sacred, and hard all at the same time. We don’t have all the answers, but together as dads, we’ll try to figure it out.
