The world isn’t neutral—and it’s coming hard for your kids. In Episode 29 of DadSchooled, Josh and Jimmy dive into the sobering reality that over 70% of church-raised kids walk away from faith by high school graduation. But this episode isn’t about fear—it’s about fighting back with purpose.

We’ll walk through 5 practical ways to pour into your children when culture is working overtime to pull them away from Christ. From guarding their hearts and modeling real faith, to surrounding them with godly adults and making church non-negotiable, this episode equips you to hold the line at home.

👊 Plus: Josh calls out a local dad, Brandon, for going the extra mile in showing up big for his son’s birthday in a way that speaks love and intentionality.

Highlights:

• Why kids are leaving the faith—and how we fight back

• Ephesians 6 and the spiritual battle for your home

• “Rules without relationship lead to rebellion”—what that really means

• Surrounding your kids with believers beyond your own voice

• Encouragement for the dad who feels behind

📖 Key verses: 1 Peter 5:8, Ephesians 6:12, Deuteronomy 6:4–7, Proverbs 4:23, 2 Timothy 2:2, Joshua 24:15

Last episode we talked about what happens when our kids don’t care about the skills we’re trying to pass on. But what about the deeper feeling that follows?

In this week’s episode of Faithful Fatherhood in 10 Minutes, we’re getting personal:
What do you do when your kids seem disinterested in what you have to offer? Where is your identity rooted when the role of “teacher” falls flat?

🧠 Episode Highlights:

• The deeper identity crisis dads often don’t talk about

• Why faithfulness matters more than results

• How to separate your value from your usefulness

• A scripture reminder from Colossians 3:23

• A weekend challenge to connect without proving anything

📢 Challenge of the Week:
“Do something with your kid this weekend that’s not about teaching — just about being.”

You planned the perfect dad moment — maybe teaching your kid how to grill, fix a flat, or budget their allowance — but they’re just not into it. It’s not just disappointing… it hurts.

In this week’s episode of DadSchooled, we tackle the heartbreak of trying to pass on life skills our kids don’t seem to care about. We explore why it matters so much to us, what to do when it doesn’t land, and how to keep the door open for connection even when the interest is low.

• A real story of a dad moment that flopped

• Why we tie our identity to what we pass on

• 3 reminders to stay calm, faithful, and connected

👨‍👧‍👦 This episode is for every dad who has ever walked away from a “teachable moment” feeling unseen or discouraged.

📢 Challenge of the Week:
