Calling all dads! In this unique and down-to-earth ninth episode of our Biblical Parenting series, we’re grabbing a roll of every handyman’s secret weapon—duct tape—to uncover five powerful lessons for biblical fatherhood.

Just like the versatile tape that has held everything from ammo cases to spacecraft together, God calls dads to be strong, resilient, and crucial to the family's mission. Drawing from 1 Timothy 3, we break down the "Duct Tape Doctrine" into practical, memorable takeaways for every father:

  1. STICK TO THE MAIN THING: Learn how to adhere to Christ above all, because without Him, we can do nothing.
  2. BE STRONG BUT FLEXIBLE: Discover the quiet strength of meekness—holding your ground on major issues while being wise enough to bend on minor ones.
  3. HOLD IT TOGETHER: Embrace your God-given role as the leader who maintains the fabric and unity of your family.
  4. DON’T GET EXPOSED TO THE WRONG ELEMENTS: Identify what breaks down your integrity, health, and relationships—and how to avoid it.
  5. DON’T THINK YOU’RE THE PERMANENT SOLUTION: Find freedom in the truth that you are not meant to fix everything, but to point your family to the One who truly holds all things together.

This episode is a challenge and an encouragement for every dad who feels the pressure to be everything. It’s a call to be the strong, faithful, and godly leader your family needs, all by relying on the ultimate source of strength.

Dads, tune in and get equipped to stick to your calling.
