Am I Leading, Or Just Reacting? – Overwhelmed To Intentional (Part 3)

Are you leading your home, or just reacting to whatever happens next? If you feel like you’re always playing defense, this episode is for you.

In Part 3 of our series From Overwhelmed to Intentional, Kent and Lawson get painfully honest about the difference between reacting and responding, and why that gap matters in fatherhood. You’ll hear how great leaders put “thinking” between the moment and their mouth, why your intent isn’t the same as your impact, and how repentance can actually remove pressure from your kids.

You’ll also get a practical reframe for the busyness trap, especially when family schedules start running the house. Sports, activities, money, time, energy. What’s the real win, and what’s the real cost?

If you want to lead with direction and humility instead of constantly living on edge, press play.
