    7 Traits of Effective Parenting
    Apr 15 2026
    For the sentinel dad, 'hoping for the best' is not a strategy. To be a Durable Dad, you need an intentional framework. You need to know which character traits you are actually installing into the hearts of your children and which ones you are modeling in your own life. You need to move from a 'survival' mindset to a 'strategic' one. Our guest joins us remotely to give you that framework. Dr. Daniel Huerta, is the Vice President of Parenting and Youth at Focus on the Family. Dr. Huerta is the author of 7 Traits of Effective Parenting, a book that takes decades of clinical experience and biblical wisdom and distills it into a tactical 'Operating System' for the home. He’s here to show us how these seven specific traits act as the 'Gears' that keep a family moving forward, even when the terrain gets rough.To find the assessment as well as other parenting resources mentioned in this episode, visit: https://www.focusonthefamily.com/parenting/To be a guest on The Fatherhood Challenge visit: https://podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/thefatherhoodchallengeCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastrhttps://zencastr.com/?via=thefatherhoodchallenge00:05.18Jonathan GuerreroMost of us wouldn't try to run a business, build a house, or manage a high stakes project without clear operate without a clear operating system. We want metrics, we want a blueprint, and we want to know that the gears are actually turning in the right direction.00:21.53Jonathan GuerreroYet, when it comes to the most important leadership role that we will ever hold, which is being a father, many of us are just winging it. We react to the crisis of the day and we hope for the best.00:34.14Jonathan GuerreroAnd we wonder why the culture in our home feels chaotic. For the Sentinel, hoping for the best is not a strategy. To be a durable dad, you need an internal framework and an intentional framework. You need to know which character traits you are actually instilling in the hearts of your children and which ones you're modeling in your own life. You need to move from survival mindset to a strategic one. And my guest is joining us remotely to help us find that framework in just a moment. So don't go anywhere.01:49.80Jonathan GuerreroGreetings, everyone. Thank you so much for joining me. My son and co-host is on a trip, so it's just me behind the mic today.

Well, you know, we have this magazine called Clubhouse Magazine for kids ages nine to 12, and we put some fantastic dad jokes. And one of the most recent ones that I loved was this one. Why do you never see a spy out in the rain?02:51.22Dr. Danny HuertaBecause they're always undercover.02:51.48Jonathan GuerreroWhy do you?02:54.10Jonathan Guerreroah02:54.58Dr. Danny Huertanot That's a good one.

Why why working with families?03:36.60Dr. Danny Huertayeah i it's interesting ah Yeah, it's an interesting story. i was in i was actually going to be an international business major, and I found out that that was just really a way to try to get money from people instead of really truly serving them. You can serve them in business, but at that point, I was feeling more and more called to truly coming alongside people. families and I was in my first year of college and then I went into school social work as a school social worker and found that the family system was so critical in the development of children, not only academically, but socially, physically and then spiritually as well. And so from that that interest and that that love, what I ended up doing is is beginning to explore what are the things, the elements within a family that help them thrive? And also, what is ...

  • Leading Your Child Through Pet Loss

    Leading Your Child Through Pet Loss
    Apr 12 2026
    For many children, the death of a beloved pet is the very first time the 'Great Dark Unknown' enters their world. It is the first time they experience the heavy, confusing weight of grief. And in that moment, they don't just need a dad who can dig a hole in the backyard; they need a Spiritual Shepherd who can answer the hardest 'Why' they’ve ever asked.Dads often feel ill-equipped for this conversation. We want to be 'tough,' or we offer clichés like 'He’s in a better place,' without really knowing how to explain God’s heart for the creatures He made. But the Bible tells us that not a single sparrow falls to the ground apart from the Father’s notice. If God cares for the sparrow, how much more does He care for the animal that taught your child how to love and be loved? I brought a dad to join me remotely who has been in the trenches with pet loss and has written a book of wisdom to share with us.Paul Granger, author of Missing Chloe has spent deep time navigating these waters, helping parents move past the awkward silence and into the sacred unknown. He’s here to show us how to use the loss of a pet as a foundation for a child’s faith—teaching them that God is a God of detail, a God of compassion, and a God who restores.To purchase Missing Chloe or to connect, visit: https://www.wheredidyouseegod.com/booksTo be a guest on The Fatherhood Challenge visit: https://podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/thefatherhoodchallengeCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastrhttps://zencastr.com/?via=thefatherhoodchallenge00:07.06Jonathan GuerreroAs a sentinel, you spend your life guarding the perimeter. You protect your children from physical harm, digital threats, and moral decay. But there is one breach that no offense can stop.00:18.26Jonathan GuerreroAnd it usually arrives on four paws.

    Using IFS To Lead Your Family With Clarity
    Apr 12 2026
    There is an Internal Civil War that rages in us. We think we are one single, consistent person, but in reality, we are a complex system of 'Parts.' We have the Protector, the Provider, the Achiever, and the Wounded Child—and often, they are all fighting for the steering wheel of our lives.For the Sentinel, true leadership doesn't start with commanding others; it starts with commanding yourself. If you are 'blended' with your anger or your anxiety, you aren't leading—you’re reacting. To be a Durable Dad, you have to do the inner work to move from being 'Part-led' to being 'Self-led. And I’ve brought the perfect guest joining us remotely to guide us in the right direction to starting that inner work.In this episode we are joined by Kurt Bush, the founder of Brimstone Coaching Group. Kurt is an expert in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful modality that helps men map their internal landscape.

You want to be in the patient, present father when you walk through the door. But a part of you is still revving up from the office, ready to bark at the first sign of chaos. You want to lead with confidence. But another part of you, the inner critic, is constantly whispering that you aren't doing enough.00:32.76Jonathan Guerrerothat you are failing and falling short or that you're just one mistake away from it all falling apart. This is the internal civil war. We think we are we are one single consistent person, but in reality, we are a complex system of parts.00:49.82Jonathan GuerreroWe have the protector, the provider, the achiever, and the wounded child.
