1 Timothy For Dads – Week 5

What does real godliness look like in the everyday life of a Christian dad?

In this episode of the Father On Purpose Podcast, Kent and Lawson continue their study through 1 Timothy by unpacking chapter 5. They explore how biblical character is revealed through the way fathers treat aging parents, widows, women, church leaders, and the people closest to them.

Lawson shares honestly about the challenges of caring for his aging mother, the strain it placed on his family, and the unexpected ways God used that difficult season to strengthen his marriage. Kent and Lawson also discuss why honor begins at home, why character matters more than talent, and how your children learn to treat others by watching the way you live.

You’ll also learn a practical Bible study method for understanding difficult or seemingly contradictory passages: zoom out, study the wider context, and let Scripture interpret Scripture.
