Fatherhood Field Notes

Ep. 498 Ben Kormanik: Teach Your Kids To Manage Their Freedom, and Don’t Be Surprised by Their Mistakes


Listen Later

Ned Schaut sits down with Ben Kormanik—father and CEO of K-Construction—to explore what it means to be a present, intentional father in a world full of distractions. Ben shares a raw story about walking with his son through the struggles of pornography, emphasizing grace over shame and connection over control. With heartfelt honesty, Ben reflects on how fathers can become allies to their children, creating trust that opens the door to redemption, healing, and true mentorship. This episode is a heartfelt invitation for every dad to step fully into their role—not as a disciplinarian first, but as a guide, a protector, and a man of integrity. If you’ve ever wondered how to walk with your kids through their mistakes while still teaching them to steward their freedom, this episode is for you.

Ben Kormanik is a devoted father, builder, and passionate leader with a heart for helping men grow in faith and purpose. When he’s not on the job site or making memories with his kids, Ben is pouring into others through the Men’s Encounter ministry, guiding men toward breakthrough and a deeper walk with God. His journey is one of hard work, humility, and transformation. For Ben, it’s not just about what you build—it’s about who you’re becoming along the way, and the legacy you leave behind.
