  • 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. DadAwesome has given me the inspiration to want to find a like minded community of Dads in my local area. I’m filled with gratitude for ... more

  • My Most Shared Podcast

    After over three years of subscribing and listening to this podcast, I can honestly say, I think it only keeps getting better. 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

DA434 | Bob Goff on Becoming a Secret Superhero Dad & Hovering Over Your Family (FROM THE VAULT)

DA431 | JOY BOMBS 💣, Nothing Is Lost, & the Interstellar Scene That Rewired a Dad (Daniel Chesnut)
Q: How old is your son now, and what transitions are you navigating with him as he moves into high school?

DA429 | Loaded Guns, Unprocessed Grief, and the Dad Who Can't Regulate His Own Emotions with Seth Dahl
Q: Derek asked about arrows and quivers: how do you prepare polished arrows for launching children to share their faith without sheltering them, and how do you model that personally?
Seth describes practical steps: help others in need (as with the Walmart groceries story) to model generosity, debrief with children after actions, and teach intentional, targeted gospel sharing rather than forcing it; focus on developing character and discernment so kids can act with wisdom in real-life opportunities.
