What do kids fear most? Research shows they’re terrified of bullies. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about why kids bully, how it impacts them, and what to say if your kid becomes the bully.

Why This Matters

Bullying hurts kids and dads need to know how to console them when it happens.

Why Do Kids Bully?

1. They’re seeking power and control.

2. They want attention.

3. They show a learned behavior.  

4. They have emotional problems. 

5. They lack social skills and empathy. 

Common Types of Bullying

1. Verbal – This is common with, but not exclusive to, younger age groups. 

2. Physical – This should not be tolerated. Alert teachers or coaches if this is happening to your child.

3. Emotional – The impacts of bullying on mental health can be devastating. 

Action Steps for Dads

1: Be a support person for your child.
Create a safe space for them to talk and share their pain, struggles, and failures. Say things like, “I will help you stay positive when things are hard.”

2: Talk about bullying and what it looks like.
Kids are more likely to talk about bullying if you ask them questions about others, like “how do the people at school treat each other?” Eventually, move the conversation to them. 

3: Model empathy.
Show your kids how to treat people with kindness, care, and empathy.

When a story resonates across generations, it’s usually because it touches something deeply human. Tim Timmons has that kind of story. He’s the focus of
I Can Only Imagine 2, a movie focusing on redemption, relationships, and the impact of people who choose to show up when it matters most. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by Tim to talk about the movie and his role as a dad.

Why This Matters
The on-screen lessons from the movie can be implemented in your home today.   

Who is Tim Timmons?

·      Christian singer, songwriter, and worship leader known for joyful, authentic storytelling

·      Best known for hit songs like “Cast My Cares” and “All About You”

·      Built a strong following through music that blends faith, humor, and real-life honesty

·      Passionate advocate for intentional faith, family, and meaningful connection

·      Diagnosed with terminal cancer of unknown origin in 2000. Doctors told him he had just five years to live

Why Intentional Fatherhood Matters:
In the film, Tim’s character (played by Milo Ventimiglia) embodies themes of perseverance, grace, and transformation. These aren’t just cinematic ideas; they’re the building blocks of healthy families. Every dad, at some point, faces moments when he has to decide whether to disengage or lean in, react or respond with wisdom, or drift or lead with intention.

Tim Timmons’s voice—both in the film and beyond it—invites dads to rethink what influence really looks like. It’s not about control; it’s about connection. It’s not about having all the answers; it’s about being willing to walk alongside your kids as they grow.

Quotable Moment
Tim told Ted this powerful line: “I get drunk on worry all the time. I get drunk on worrying about my finances all the time. I get drunk on scarcity going, “I’m not going to have enough.” I get drunk on trying to work for God all the time. And I want to be more sober this year than I was last year.”

Enjoy this conversation and the movie, which hits theaters on February 20, 2026. I Can Only Imagine 2 is based on the heartfelt true story behind the hit single “Even If.” The aim is to “Inspire the next chapter of faith, family, and finding God in the fire.”

Caribbean vacations are great, but that’s not where our marriages get strengthened. It’s the everyday affections and moments of connection that keep our relationships strong. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about ways to show our wives we love them every day.

Why This Matters
Husbands should aim to make their wives feel loved every day.

Key Takeaways

·      Love is a basic human need.

·      Everyday affection beats infrequent, grand gestures

·      Connection is built in small, consistent moments. 

Practical Tips for Husbands

1. Handle conflict with kindness.

2. Respond to her bids for connection.

4. Laugh together.

Is your kid afraid to go an aisle away at the grocery store? Perform on stage in front of peers? Get their driver’s license? When do we push them to do things that are good for them? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about encouraging growth in kids by pushing them out of their comfort zones.

Why This Matters

When kids stay in their comfort zones, they delay growth.

Key Takeaways

·      Kids crave comfort: For a lot of kids, it’s easier to stick with what is familiar than embrace what is new and unknown.

·      Watch your approach: Pushing kids must be done in love. Encourage more than you challenge.

Practical Tips for Dads

1. Push kids only in manageable areas.

2. Remind them that failure is acceptable. 

3. Always encourage before, during, and after a push. 

4. Push then debrief.

Do you put pressure on yourself to be perfect? Not only is that impossible, but it’s a dangerous goal for dads. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about the myth of perfection, navigating our flaws, and being our best for our family.  

Why This Matters
You don’t have to be perfect to be the perfect dad for your kids. 

What Do Dads Struggle With The Most? 

• Wanting their kids to have a good life
• Aiming to overcome mistakes
• Recognizing that being a dad is a serious job

Who Feels The Pressure?

In 2018, the American Psychological Association found that “Perfectionism among (college students) significantly increased since the 1980s.” Nearly a decade later, those students are now adults and likely parents. 

This was 8 years ago… which means those same young people who craved perfection in 2018 are likely now parents. Are they striving to be perfect parents, too?

What Makes a Perfect Father?

• Someone who is active, present, and cares about his kids
• Someone who understands being “perfect” adds incredible pressure. 
• Someone committed to doing their best for his kids.

Child grooming is a serious issue and much more common than most dads realize. About 90% of victims are groomed by someone they know. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about how to protect your kids from child grooming. 

Why This Matters
Grooming can feel like an “it will never happen to me” thing, but it’s much more common than most dads know. 

Key Takeaways

·      Grooming happens primarily online: According to the Child Crime Prevention and Safety Center, there are an estimated 500,000 predators online every day.

·      Groomers play the long game: Predators often invest years in grooming victims.

·      Groomers use tools: The most common are online anonymity, establishing trust, pushing isolation, and finding leverage. They then attempt to push physical boundaries.

Signs of Grooming Dads Should Know
1. LOOK FOR when your child receives a lot of attention from a person.
2. LOOK FOR when your child becomes isolated.
3. LOOK FOR when your child exhibits unusual behavior.
4. LOOK FOR when your child becomes more desensitized to crude humor and content.
5. LOOK FOR when your child has an aversion to a certain person.

Kids’ fears grow up with them. Babies fear loud noises and separation, young kids battle monsters in the dark, and older kids worry about fitting in at school. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about our kids’ fears and how dads can help guide them through it all.  

Why This Matters
When kids are afraid, they need help processing their feelings.

Key Takeaways

·      Fear and worry are different: Fear is a present problem while worry is a future problem. 

·      Bullying is #1: Pew Research conducted between 2020–25 showed virtually all kids fear being bullied.

·      Failure is terrifying: As kids age, the idea they won’t succeed becomes a major fear for many kids.

Practical Tips for Dads
When your kids are fearful, try these action steps:

1. Acknowledge Their Fear.

2. Ask Why This Scares Them.

3. Consider Your Words.

In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about the plague of dad stress and how vital it is for men to manage it well. 

Why This Matters

·      There are 3 kinds of stress: Acute, episodic, and chronic. All three impact dads differently. 

·      There are ways to deal with it: Methods like slow breathing and pausing help men manage their stress.

Kids are living online, so it makes sense they want to get in on the fun. In a 2023 poll by Morning Consult, more than half of kids said they wanted to be social media influencers. As a dad, would you support that dream? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about the dangers that come with being social media influencers. 

Why This Matters
Kids want to be liked, so they tend to imitate the people who seem to be the most liked. 

What Are the Dangers of Becoming an Influencer?
1. Safety

The Wall Street Journal reported in 2024 that the followers of one particular pre-teen girl influencer was 92% adult men.

2. Pressure

The pressure to produce daily content, look perfect, and maintain an audience is not something kids are equipped to deal with, nor should they.

3. Exploitation

Once kids start making money it’s going to be hard for parents to pull the plug. The Netflix documentary Bad Influence is a perfect example.

4. Negative Feedback

Kids don’t usually have the experience, perspective, or identity to handle negative criticism from strangers.  

5. Social Media Impact

Influencing takes place primarily on social media, which invites kids to pursue the unattainable, namely being perfect.

Modern dads are around their kids much more than men were a generation or two ago. We see their struggles more and have opportunities to fix them, but should we? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about supporting our kids without fighting all their battles. 

Why This Matters
One of the best ways we can support our kids is to stand beside them as they fight their own battles. 

Key Takeaways

·      Modern dads are more involved: Research shows dads now spend 3–4x more time with our kids than men did in the 1970s. 

·      But more involved can become “too” involved: More time gave rise to helicopter, lawn mower, bulldozer, and drone parents. 

·      Kids will always need support: It will change during every stage, but dads will always play a role in their kids’ lives. 

Action Steps for Dads

1. Know When To Step In

2. Step In vs. Step Back

3. Really Listen. 

4. Helping Them Process.

5. Be Their Biggest Fan.

6. Letting Them Struggle.
