A very common piece of advice that I see given to dads is, “Be the dad you wish you had.” Depending on who hears this, this suggestion may resinate, but it is not right.

As dads, our devotion is to our children and we should be focused on their needs. If our focus is on the pain of our past and what we wish we would have had, we can very easily miss what is right in front of us.

This week’s episode is dedicated to bringing a corrective to this advice and illuminating what our pursuit as dads should be. Whether your dad was absent, negligent, awful, or amazing, your dad is not the one you should be looking to as a reference point for yourself. But, I’ll tell you who is.
