What secret temptation have you been trying to manage instead of actually killing?

In this episode, Kent and Lawson talk honestly about temptation, secret sin, confession, and the grace of God for dads who are in the fight. They unpack the difference between being tempted and tested, why hiding never leads anywhere good, and how fathers can stop treating symptoms while ignoring the deeper roots.

This conversation gets practical. You'll hear why Scripture says to flee certain temptations, why confession alone is not the finish line, and why every dad needs other men close enough to tell the truth. If you've ever wondered whether a private struggle could eventually damage your marriage, your parenting, or your witness, this episode is for you.

You are not alone in temptation, but that does not mean it is harmless. By God's grace, there is a way of escape, and there is a better path forward.

It started as a simple family phrase: "Look for the overlooked." However, Lawson's daughter Olivia flipped this on its head, encouraging her students to ask if maybe one of the people you're overlooking is yourself—or even a version of yourself you've neglected for too long. In this episode, we unpack what it means to notice the unseen, and not just in the people around us, but in the parts of ourselves we’ve pushed aside. What have we neglected in the name of productivity? What’s been quietly waiting for us to slow down, breathe, and listen?

Turns out, Jesus was in the business of seeing the overlooked—from the woman at the well to the leper no one would touch. And if we want to follow His lead as dads, it might mean noticing the quiet parts of our own soul that need care, rest, and reconnection with the Father. This one’s part biblical reflection, part personal confession, and part reminder that even (especially?) the busiest dad needs to hit pause and pay attention to the ones that no one else will.

Faithful. Gentle. Loving. Godly. Patient. These are the kinds of words we hope our kids would use to describe us. But if they were being totally honest, what’s the one word they'd actually write down? Would it be something we’re proud of—or something that hits a little too close to home, like angry, stressed, or even absent? In this episode, Kent and Lawson walk through a simple but eye-opening exercise that reveals how our day-to-day choices as dads shape how our kids experience us.

The good news? Whatever word they might choose today, it’s doesn't have to be the final word. With time, intentionality, and God’s help, we can grow into the kind of fathers who reflect the heart of Christ in our homes. There’s no guilt trip here—just a real opportunity to reflect, reset, and grow. So whether you walk away from this conversation feeling encouraged or convicted, lean in. You are not a father on accident. So go be a father on purpose.
