Welcome back, dads! In this episode, the guys dive deep into “The Weight of Our Words” — how what we say (and don’t say) shapes our kids, our families, and even our own growth as fathers.

You’ll laugh through gym name mix-ups (“Malachi?!?”), Halloween chaos, and $70 Chick-fil-A runs — but you’ll also hear some real talk about the power of words, navigating parenting alongside your spouse, and how to handle those “dad fail” moments with grace.

Topics this week:

• The importance of what we speak over our kids

• Balancing correction and encouragement

• How our own dads shaped who we are today

• Owning mistakes, offering forgiveness, and leading with presence

• Plus, a Dad Hack you won’t forget: the “Daddy Pack” (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like)

Stick around for stories that are equal parts hilarious, honest, and heartfelt — all about doing fatherhood the best way we know how.

👉 Next episode teaser: “The Dad Juggle” — balancing marriage, work, and fatherhood without sinking the ship.
