Brotherhood Forged: A Christian Men’s Podcast on Faith, Fatherhood & Leadership

Episode 57 | Preparing Your Kids for the Path, Not the Path for Your Kids


Listen Later

As fathers, our job isn’t to shield our kids from every struggle — it’s to prepare them to face life’s challenges with strength, faith, and resilience.

 

In this episode of Brotherhood Forged, we talk about:

  • Why overprotecting your kids robs them of resilience

  • The difference between preparing the path for your kids vs. preparing your kids for the path

  • How sports, discipline, and even hardship create lasting confidence

  • Modeling endurance, ownership, and faith in front of your children

  • Why today’s culture struggles with accountability — and how we can break the cycle

     

    📖 Key Scripture Inspiration:

    • “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22:6

    • “We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.” – Romans 5:3–4
