Forget 'Good Dad' — Aim for This Instead

Most dads want to be a good dad. But what if that’s the wrong goal?

In this episode, I challenge one of the most common and most misleading pursuits in fatherhood. Because being a “good dad” isn’t determined by how much we provide, how hard we work, or how many things we do right.

It’s determined by our relationship with our child.

Using biblical insight and real-life fatherhood perspective, we unpack:

• Why “good dad” is a status you don’t get to assign yourself
• The danger of doing all the right things while missing what your kids actually need
• How provision, protection, and presence can still fall short

You can give your kids the world, but if they needed your shoulder and didn’t get it, you missed the point.

This conversation will challenge you to stop chasing fatherhood checklists and start building the kind of relationship your kids will one day thank God for.
