David “Goose” Mills on Being a Lighthouse, Not a Shipwreck

What if the fastest way to bond with your son wasn’t through another lecture—but with a hundred-pound sandbag and a fire? Today we sit down with military veteran and modern-day apologist David “Goose” Mills of Men’s Alliance Tribe, whose battle cry is this: isolation is terminal for dads. Goose shares three anchors for spiritual leadership at home—reject the lie that you’re disqualified, lead where you want your kids to go, and learn how to be a lighthouse, not just a shipwreck.

We get super practical, unpacking why a paper Bible on the table matters, how to make small weekly “deposits” that compound over years, and why carving one hour to sharpen your axe (plus a standing date night) without guilt might be essential for your fatherhood rhythm. We also dive into apologetics for busy dads—Goose’s book Answer with Truth and his “Carry the Fire” training show how to raise kitchen-table apologists who can stand firm before college ever tests their faith.

If you’ve been craving a band of brothers and a clear next step, today’s episode will light the way.
