How To Cross The Barrier From Being Overwhelmed to Intentional As A Dad

Ever wondered how Father On Purpose decides what to talk about?

In this episode, Kent and Lawson pull back the curtain and let you step into the “kitchen,” the behind-the-scenes process where upcoming episodes get planned and filtered through one question: What does Scripture say Christian dads actually need right now?

You’ll hear how the show balances Scripture, practical tools, and real-life stories without winging it and without sounding scripted. You’ll also get a sneak preview of our brand new series which will cover the next five weeks: From Overwhelmed to Intentional. If you feel stretched thin, reactive at home, or like you never have enough time, this series is built for you.

Here’s what’s coming over the next five weeks:

  • Time: You don’t need more time. You need clarity about what matters most in this season.
  • Communication: If you want to be heard, you have to hear.
  • Leadership vs reacting: Stop getting caught off guard and start leading on purpose.
  • Discipleship: You don’t have to be perfect to disciple. You have to be present.
  • Regret and redemption: God does some of His best work after we think we failed.

You’re not a father on accident. Go be a father on purpose.
