God Directed Our Steps – Lessons for Dads Looking Back on 2025
Are you heading into 2026 feeling like you’re supposed to have a big New Year’s resolution, yet something about that whole system feels off?
In this episode, Kent and Lawson do something different. They “interview” each other about 2025 and talk honestly about what God taught them, where life was hard, and where God showed up with unexpected strength, healing, provision, and joy. You’ll hear stories about 30-year anniversaries, job changes, parenting kids in different seasons, weddings, health scares, and the kind of perspective shift that happens when you stop and remember what God has already done.
This conversation is also a simple template you can use with a brother, a friend, your dad, or your adult son. Sit down, trade notes, and look for God’s fingerprints on the year you just lived. As you start a new year, remember this: you’re not going to become the dad your family needs by accident. Let’s walk into 2026 with gratitude, wisdom, and purpose.
