Using Genesis 18:19, Proverbs 4:1–2, and Joshua 24:15 as our foundation, we’ll explore the calling God has placed on dads: to lead our households with righteousness, to pass down wisdom with intentionality, and to boldly declare, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” I’ll share parts of my own faith journey; moments of learning, growth, and even struggle and connect them to the real challenges and victories of fatherhood. This isn’t about being the perfect dad; it’s about being present, faithful, and willing to lead with purpose.

In this powerful episode of Rooted Conversations, we dive into one of the most defining and often unspoken struggles men face — the father wound. Whether your dad was absent, emotionally unavailable, overly critical, or completely missing from your story, that gap leaves a mark. But it doesn’t have to define you. We’ll unpack how the father wound shows up in our parenting, our relationships, our faith, and our identity. Most importantly, we’ll talk about what healing looks like — not overnight, not perfectly — but intentionally and courageously. This isn’t about blaming our fathers. It’s about breaking the cycle. Why acknowledging the father wound is a strength, not a weaknessHow it affects how we show up as dads and husbandsAnd how to begin the journey of healing — with grace, not guilt   If you’ve ever asked, "Am I enough without my father’s approval?" — this episode is for you.
