Life moves fast. One minute you’re in the front seat of your child’s life… and before you know it, you’re on the sidelines watching them take the wheel. Between work, bills, pressure, and pace, it’s easy to drift instead of lead.

Ferris Bueller said it best: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
That’s especially true when it comes to family.

Wherever you are on the journey—diapers or diplomas—the guys unpack three things every dad must never back down from if he wants to lead well and leave a lasting legacy.

As you look toward 2026, make these three commitments part of who you are as a father.

The headlines have been filled with stories of Christian leaders facing serious accusations of wrongdoing and abuse. So how do we respond when the people we admire—and trust—let us down?

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Matt Hammitt, who brings honest insight into the state of the Christian music industry. From the recent controversy surrounding Michael Tait of the Newsboys to the broader issue of leadership failures in the church, Matt helps us navigate these tough but important conversations.

If you’ve been hurt by a leader in the church, or you’re wrestling with how to respond when a hero falls, this episode is for you. God wants to lead us from bitterness toward healing and restoration—and this conversation points the way.

2026 is sneaking up on us—but hold up, 2025 isn’t clocking out just yet.And if you’re anything like the rest of us “responsible adults,” you’re currently juggling holiday shopping, family schedules, and trying to remember where you hid the presents… or if you even bought them. That’s why Known Legacy has dropped a free, super-simple resource to help you turn the chaos into actual memories—on purpose! Each day gives your family a moment to breathe, reset, and refocus on the hope only Jesus can offer… instead of refocusing on the smoke alarm from that “experimental holiday recipe.” So before the new year crashes the party, take the moments you’ve got and add a little intentionality. Your family (and your sanity) will thank you. Here is the link to sign up for the free Known Legacy Intentional Christmas Advent

Life is full of uncertainty — and fear can often hold us back from stepping into what God has promised. The Israelites faced the same challenge in Numbers 13 as they stood on the edge of the Promised Land, torn between faith and fear.

This week, the guys unpack the powerful lesson of “Focusing on the Grapes” — choosing to see God’s provision and promise rather than being overwhelmed by obstacles. They share practical, faith-based tools to help you walk boldly into your calling, even when life feels intimidating.

If you’ve ever struggled with doubt, fear, or discouragement about your future — this episode will remind you that God’s promises are still good, and His plan is still worth trusting.
