  • Definition of Must-Listen Podcast

    I have easily shared this podcast more than any other podcast before. Every dad - and honestly every mom, and almost any man in general (for a lot of episodes) - should listen to this podcast.

    Also just got back from the first Intentional Fatherhood Retreat and, man, I am so grateful for the ministry of these guys and all of the Intentional team. Easily the most practically life ch... more

  • Humble, Biblical, and Useful

    Intentional Fatherhood is a nice change from the high-intensity, “man up and forgive your own father” style of dad content common in many spaces. The talks are practical, humble, and grounded in realistic expectations of what fatherhood looks like in everyday life. Instead of focus on dramatic emotional moments or pressure-filled calls to transformation, it emphasizes steady faithfulness and small, meaningful choices that fit into the life of an average dude.

    The show is helpful because it keep... more

  • Real Dads Know the Real Struggles

    These men are in the thick of it right now. They are not perfect, which allows them to rely on the gospel. They genuinely care about fathers, the children of those fathers, and the families those fathers are leading. These men are real!

  • Dad Pod

    I’ve been a fan of Intentional for years and I love having a place for dads. Brook and Justin normalize so many of the things that dads struggle with and share practical insight without coming across preachy or pretending there are simple fixes.

Q: How do we process restlessness and what is God trying to teach us about our own desire through this thing of restlessness as fathers and as families?
Father Rolheiser explains that restlessness is inherent because we are built for more than this world can offer, teaching that it keeps us from settling for anything less than what we truly desire.
