In this episode, we explore the growing temptation for dads to rely on tools like AI—or their own abilities—instead of seeking God’s wisdom. While technology can be helpful, self-reliance quietly undermines faith and leads us away from dependence on the Lord. We discuss how to recognize this tendency and cultivate a habit of turning to God first in the pressures of everyday life and parenting.
