Mastering Personal Control: The Key to Becoming a Proactive Dad with Brendan Wall


Listen Later

Brendan Wall is one of those lucky ones who grew up with great family dynamics. His parents were great examples to him, and he had a close, loving relationship with all of them. So when he got married, he immediately laid out a 5-year plan on how he can give their family stability before they have kids.

But God had other plans for them when he found out his wife was pregnant. Because of the turn of events, he decided that he would speed things up and try his best to achieve his goals in just a year. The problem is, he got stuck trying so hard to provide for his family and reach his goals that he ended up spending more time working. 

Divine intervention came in the form of the pandemic. Stuck at home with his family, he suddenly realized what he was missing. With this newfound realization and a ton of new lessons that this experience taught him, he decided to spread the word through a podcast.

Today, Brendan continues his journey of learning how to be the kind of dad who steps up and does the work needed to give his wife and kids the life they deserve. He especially found the discipline of assessing what things he can control and what he can’t so that he can always be his best self anytime he needs to be.

Tune in to this episode to learn how to be present as a dad living life in faith that God will always have something better and will steer you in the right direction. 

“If we can just get to a place where we’re disciplined enough to control the things that we can control and let enough time go by, we’re gonna be in a much better place than if we don’t.” - Brendan Wall
