  • 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

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.
DA428 | What Unlocks When You Stop Grinding, Becoming the Primary Storyteller, & Parenting from Sonship (Jay Heck interviews Jeff Zaugg)
Q: How did the concept of sonship change your approach to fatherhood?

DA425 | Steward Their Speed, The Battle for Your Head, and Fathering from Strength Not Wounds (Tim Timberlake) PART 2
Q: What does it mean to steward boundaries and language in shaping a child's culture?
He explains that boundaries act like out-of-bounds lines in sports and that language can shape culture; to influence outcomes, fathers must be deliberate about what they say and how they speak to their kids and in front of them.
