1 Timothy For Dads – Week 3

What does 1 Timothy 3 have to say to everyday dads?

In this episode of the Father On Purpose Podcast, Kent and Lawson unpack Paul’s qualifications for church leaders and explain why they also provide a powerful picture of biblical fatherhood. Traits like self-control, gentleness, faithfulness, hospitality, integrity, and managing your household well are not just standards for pastors and deacons—they are qualities every Christian dad should pursue.

Kent and Lawson also discuss what happens when dads fall short, why failure does not automatically disqualify you from leading your family, and how God’s grace empowers men to repent, grow, and keep moving forward. You’ll learn how to study Scripture more carefully, accept honest feedback, lead without relying on your own strength, and become the kind of man your wife, children, church, and community can trust.

If you want to become a more intentional Christian father, lead your home well, and grow in biblical character, this conversation through 1 Timothy 3 will challenge and encourage you.
