  • Look forward to every Thursday morning!

    So grateful to have been introduced to the DadAwesome podcast last the beginning of the year. I listen to a new episode every Thursday morning and it’s filled my heart with gratitude for being a Dad of 5 kids. Listening has caused me to slow down and analyze my interactions with my kids and give me more patience, to enjoy the moments and not be so critical.

In this dad-season of life, this is the podcast I find myself sharing the most with other dads, husbands, and future fathers. I share it even more than Jocko, Rogan, Ferris, and any other popular men's podcast. There's just so many golden nuggets to pick out of the podcast each week, and so much encouragement to be passed along during this difficult season of life. I... more

DA458 | FROM THE VAULT: Motorboat Dads vs. Sailboat Dads, Your Family Is Getting Your Leftovers, and the Helium Yoke (Matt Fogle)
Q: Would you talk about that decision framework and how you entered into prayer?
Fogle describes setting aside regular time alone, praying with his wife, and gathering impartial friends for a Quaker clearness committee. Their questions helped the couple discern whether to move to Phoenix.
DA458 | FROM THE VAULT: Motorboat Dads vs. Sailboat Dads, Your Family Is Getting Your Leftovers, and the Helium Yoke (Matt Fogle)
Q: Can you talk about those two approaches, charging forward or being led forward?
Fogle contrasts the control and speed of a motorboat with sailing, which requires attention to the wind and cooperation. He applies the metaphor to following the Spirit's pace rather than dictating what should happen in a family.
DA457 | Neil Dyer on Meekness, Strength Under Control, and Fighting for Your Family
Q: How would you just even plant a few seeds of thinking with a different lens around being a protector for our family?
Dyer says the spiritual battle continues at home and at work, and that the leadership and discipline he learned in the military can translate into family life when practiced with grace and love.
DA457 | Neil Dyer on Meekness, Strength Under Control, and Fighting for Your Family
Q: What do you find absolutely critical for the next five years of fatherhood for your family?
Dyer emphasizes a strong foundation, clear structure and limits, unity between spouses, deliberate time with children, and being present rather than distracted by phones and screens.
DA452 | FROM THE VAULT: Redefining Success, Abiding in Christ, and Becoming a Whole Hearted Dad (Banning Liebscher)
Q: How can dads cultivate a deeper love for Jesus that flows into how they father?
By first receiving God's love and letting that encounter shape how they show patience, kindness, and presence to their kids, rather than acting out of obligation.
