How to Build a Family Your Kids Want to Come Home To | Paul Akin

Your kids won’t be under your roof forever. What can you do now to build the kind of relationship they’ll still want when they’re adults?

In this episode of the Father On Purpose podcast, Kent and Lawson sit down with Paul Akin to talk about intentional Christian fatherhood, family discipleship, marriage, work, and the limited amount of time dads actually have with their kids.

Paul shares lessons from his own family, raising four children, serving in ministry, and realizing that even good work can compete with the calling God has given a father at home. He challenges dads to examine whether their careers, schedules, screens, and ambitions are keeping them from being truly present with their families.

You’ll hear practical encouragement on how to spend meaningful time with your kids, strengthen your marriage, disciple your family, navigate seasons of uncertainty, and build a home your children actually enjoy being in.

Paul also leaves dads with three important reminders: don’t make your family an idol, be present in your kids’ lives, and make your home a fun place to be.

If you’re a Christian dad who wants to lead your family well without waking up years from now wondering where the time went, this conversation will help you focus on what matters most.

You are not a father on accident. Go be a father on purpose.
