In this deeply special episode of Dad On Purpose, Jason is joined by his 12-year-old daughter — and today’s co-host — Rubi. What follows is one of the most honest, tender, funny, and eye-opening conversations a father and child can have. Jason and Rubi go beyond surface-level talk and step into a real, vulnerable dialogue about their bond — the good, the challenging, the growing, and the beautifully imperfect parts of their relationship. There’s laughter. There’s honesty. There are moments that might punch you right in the chest. And there’s an undeniable love that pours through every exchange. This episode isn’t just a conversation… It’s an invitation — for fathers to open up, step back, breathe, listen, and let their kids teach them too. A timeless, emotional, joy-filled, truth-filled father/daughter moment captured forever.

We all tell our kids what to do.

But the truth hits harder:

they’ll do what we do, not what we say.

In this deeply introspective and emotionally charged episode, Jason unpacks one of the most important principles in fatherhood — the responsibility of modeling the very life we hope our kids live. With transparency about his own upbringing, honest confessions about his missteps, and raw reflections about what his children have taught him, this episode shines a light on the gap between instruction and example.

You’ll hear:

•Why children follow patterns more than commands

•How unhealed habits become generational blueprints

•The impact of hypocrisy — spoken and silent — on a child’s identity

•Stories from Jason’s own life where his kids mirrored his behavior

•A powerful call not just to correct our children, but to correct ourselves

•Scriptures that anchor the father’s responsibility to live what he teaches

•Statistics that reveal just how deeply a parent’s behavior shapes a child’s future

This episode is a wake-up call wrapped in love — a reminder that fatherhood isn’t about perfection, but about alignment… choosing daily to become the example we wish we had, and the example our kids deserve.

A heartfelt, challenging, inspiring guide for every dad who wants to raise children of strength, integrity, faith, and purpose — by living it first.

This episode is part love letter, part wake-up call.

Jason opens up about the first moment he saw Veronica step off a school bus in eighth grade and how, for years, fear and insecurity kept him silent. He walks through the “missed chances,” the Six Flags encounter that changed everything, and the day they found out they were pregnant — the moment when their love story became a fatherhood story.

With raw emotion and deep gratitude, Jason honors Veronica as the heart of their home — the woman who sacrifices, prays, laughs, corrects, and covers their children in ways that often go unseen. He’s honest about his own flaws as a husband and father, and how her steady love and dedication have helped shape the man he is today.

But this isn’t only for Veronica. Throughout the episode, Jason speaks directly to men:

•about the importance of choosing the right woman to build a life and raise children with,

•about the cost of having kids with someone you don’t truly know or respect,

•and about why our children deserve more than “whoever happened to be there that night.”

Anchored in Scripture and full of vulnerability, this episode calls fathers to honor the women who stand beside them, to take responsibility where they’ve been careless, and to see godly partnership as one of the greatest forms of “favor from the Lord.”

If you’re married, dating, or still hoping to find “your person,” this conversation will challenge you, encourage you, and maybe even move you to tears — and it just might send you running to tell the woman in your life how much she truly means to you.

This is the most vulnerable and soul-stirring episode of Dad On Purpose yet.

In “The Father You Needed vs. The Father You Became,” Jason opens the door to the parts of fatherhood most men never talk about — childhood trauma, inherited anger, unresolved wounds, regret, grief, and the fear of becoming the man you swore you’d never be.

This episode dives deep into:

• What it means to parent while still healing

• The moment you realize you sound like your father

• The boy inside every grown man who still needs comfort

• The father you needed but never had

• The father you’re becoming through intention and grace

• Anger, shame, apology, and transformation

• The grief of losing your father before reconciliation

• A powerful letter to your younger self

• A heartbreaking letter to your father

• How God rewrites your identity as a son and as a father

• And a prayer for every dad carrying wounds that still ache

This episode is not just a conversation.

It’s a release.

A mirror.

A reckoning.

A healing.

If you grew up with a complicated father…

If you’re trying to break generational cycles…

If you’re learning how to raise kids without repeating history…

This episode will meet you in the deepest parts of your story.

For every father carrying pain — this one is for you.

Sports can bring out the best in our kids — and sometimes the worst in us.

In this episode of Dad On Purpose, we talk about the emotional rollercoaster of being a Sports Dad: the pride of watching your child find themselves on the field, the tension between wanting to coach and needing to step back, the ego struggles that come with letting another adult lead your child, and the humility required to allow your kid to grow without controlling their journey.

Jason opens up about coaching his son, then learning to let go when a new season brought a new coach. We dive into why that transition is so hard for fathers, how sports teach discipline and character beyond the scoreboard, and how to enjoy the season your child is in — without becoming the overbearing sideline parent we all fear becoming.

With humor, heart, spiritual guidance, and fatherly honesty, this episode explores how to support your child in sports the right way, keep your ego in check, and embrace the blessing of watching them grow into themselves — one practice, one play, and one season at a time.

In one of the most emotionally vulnerable episodes of Dad on Purpose, Jason takes listeners through the uncomfortable, sacred reality of a Father’s mortality.

This episode challenges Fathers to face the truth that they are not invincible — and that their presence is more powerful than their pride. Through scripture, real-world statistics, and deeply personal reflection, this episode calls men to protect the one life their children depend on: their own.

You’ll be taken through the silent fears Fathers carry, the consequences of leaving too soon, and the spiritual responsibility of stewarding your health, mind, and body with intention.

This episode is not about fear.

It’s about wisdom.

It’s about legacy.

It’s about choosing to stay — for the children who cannot afford to lose you.

In one of the most emotionally intimate episodes of Dad on Purpose, Jason explores the unseen sacrifices of Fatherhood — the work, the pain, and the quiet endurance that most will never see or understand.

This episode dives into the truth that great Fathers plant trees they may never sit under. They endure heat so their children can feel shade. They shoulder pressure so their families can experience peace.

Through poetic storytelling, scripture, and raw honesty, this episode honors the silent warriors — the men who suffer quietly so their children never have to.

You’ll feel the weight of responsibility, the beauty of sacrifice, and the sacred truth that your suffering is not wasted.

The shade was never for you.

But the legacy is.

In this emotionally charged episode of Dad on Purpose, Jason explores the powerful calling found in Isaiah 6:8 — “Here I am, send me.”

This episode speaks directly to fathers who feel unqualified, afraid, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their role. It calls men out of hesitation and into obedience, showing that God doesn’t look for perfect fathers — He looks for willing ones.

Through deep storytelling, raw emotional honesty, and biblical truth, this episode helps fathers understand their role not as an accident, but as an assignment. You’ll be challenged to step forward in faith, stop shrinking in fear, and raise your hand to the calling placed on your life.

This is not about being ready.

This is about being willing.

Because your children don’t need perfection — they need presence, obedience, and courage.

In one of the most emotionally powerful episodes of Dad on Purpose to date, Jason delivers a heartfelt love letter to single Mothers everywhere — honoring the unseen weight, quiet strength, and relentless love they carry every single day.

This episode speaks from a Father’s perspective with humility, admiration, and deep respect, shining light on the emotional, spiritual, and physical burden that single mothers shoulder alone. Through biblical truth, real-life imagery, and vulnerable reflection, this episode calls men to open their eyes, soften their hearts, and step up in support rather than silence.

This is not an episode of blame.

This is an episode of honor.

Because behind every strong child is often a woman who refused to give up — even when no one showed up.

In this emotionally powerful episode of Dad on Purpose, Jason dives deep into the identity shift that happens when a man becomes a Father. This isn’t just about changing schedules — it’s about changing your soul. This episode explores the painful but necessary transition from a “lone wolf” mindset to a life built on partnership, sacrifice, and responsibility. Jason challenges men to confront who they were before fatherhood, and to embrace who they must become now. This is a call to men who feel the tension between who they were and who they’re becoming. You’re not losing yourself. You’re becoming someone greater.
