What role has your father played in shaping who you are today? It's an important question to ask yourself, especially if you have grown up with a difficult father.

This episodes explores "the good, the bad and the ugly" when it comes to fathering. There are dads with good intentions who aren't perfect, but there are also bad fathers whose actions hurt and wound their children in powerful ways.

In this episode, John Shay and Austin explore the difference between good fathers, bad fathers, and ugly fathers.

No matter what your relationship with your dad currently looks like, this discussion will provide you with insight that you may have never considered. If you're a dad yourself, this content will help you think through the legacy you will pass on to your own kids.

After listening you’ll realize that even if the wounds inflicted by your difficult father never fully heal, you can take intentional steps in your life that will bring growth, acceptance, and perspective.
