Jealousy is a sneaky, destructive force that can take root in our hearts—even in the church. It’s easy to get caught up comparing our ministries, families, and lives with those around us. But what if this envy is keeping us from embracing the unique calling God has placed on our lives? In this episode, I’ll share a powerful story from Scripture that Jesus used to confront my own struggle with comparison and envy, and how a single question can help you break free from it.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, "Why them and not me?” or struggling with feelings of resentment over someone else’s success, this episode is for you. Let’s dive into why this has no place in our hearts, and how we can pivot our focus back to God’s unique purpose for each of us.

Do you ever feel like you’re wearing so many hats that you end up dropping them all? 😩 As dads, we want to be everything—a good husband, a faithful provider, a present father—but it’s easy to get overwhelmed and distracted.
Today’s episode is all about breaking free from that cycle and showing up for your kids in a meaningful way. In this video, I’m sharing 8 practical ways you can be more present as a dad. These aren’t just tips I’ve read somewhere; they’re lessons I’m learning and applying in my own life. From asking better questions and documenting small moments, to creating transition rituals and putting the phone down (something I’m still working on too), we’re covering it all.
Whether you’re looking for ways to have more meaningful conversations, pray for your kids by name, or just want to break the habit of being on your phone too much—this episode is for you.
And moms, don’t tune out! 🙋♀️ My wife assures me these principles are just as relevant for you too. Your presence is one of the greatest gifts you can give your kids. Let’s make every moment count. 👇

Are your desires truly aligned with God’s direction for your life? Can you even name what is in your heart and what you think you are meant to do? You can't surrender your path to God until you get specific about what is in your heart in the first place.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or uncertain about your next steps, this episode will help you get unstuck and shift from living by default to living by God’s design. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of how to align your desires with God’s will and move forward with confidence.

In this video, I get real about the lessons I’ve learned in the past year, especially after releasing my book "This Dream Is Not For You."
Just because you write a book doesn’t mean you’ve “graduated” from its message. I’ve had to live out every lesson I wrote, and it hasn’t always been easy.

Larry Hagner, host and founder of the Dad Edge podcast with over 30 million downloads in the last 5 years, join Wade Joye and shares his personal experience of growing up without a father figure and how his life was transformed in his lowest moment as a Dad. Wade and Larry discuss how that moment became the turning point that led him to become a healthier and more present father whose mission is to empower other men to lead their own families well. He emphasizes how his relationship with Jesus changed him as a dad, the significance of apologizing to your family and asking for forgiveness, creating an environment of psychological safety for open communication with his children, and how he is teaching them to learn from their mistakes. He also discusses his new book, “The Spirit of Fatherhood,” which explores the intersection of faith and fatherhood.
