Wisdom, Identity, and the Lies Dads Believe

What if one of the biggest battles fathers face isn’t “not knowing enough,” but rather believing the wrong things about themselves?

In this episode, Kent and Lawson unpack the powerful connection between wisdom and identity. They explore why biblical wisdom is more than knowledge, why God is the only one who gets to define who you are, and how dads can unknowingly build their lives around lies they’ve believed for years.

From Proverbs to Ephesians 1, this conversation dives into what it means to think wisely, live intentionally, and lead your family from a place of security in Christ instead of performance, shame, or fear.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like you’re failing, falling behind, or not enough as a husband or father, this episode is for you.

You’ll hear:

• Why wisdom is more than experience or intelligence
• How identity and wisdom shape each other
• The danger of letting culture define who you are
• Practical ways dads can help their kids reject lies
• Why understanding your identity changes the way you lead

Wise fathers don’t just know more. They know who they are.
