In the launch of our Homeschool Dads series, we sit down with our special guest, David “Goose” Mills of Men’s Alliance.

This episode is a powerful call to action for every father. We get straight to the heart of the matter, tackling the common struggles of isolation and passivity that so many dads face. David and I dive into why your leadership matters more than you think, and how your presence sets the spiritual tone for your entire family.

Think of one area where you’ve been passive. Take a concrete, visible action to lead in that area this week.

How dads can move from passivity to active engagement in their homes.

The difference between simply providing and truly leading your family spiritually.

The life-changing value of having “brothers who call you up and out” and the importance of male community.

Practical ways to lead by example and the need for self-care to sustain your efforts.

Men’s Alliance is completely changing how men’s ministry is done in America. It’s tribes of men meeting every week for a rugged outdoor workout—rain, shine, or snow—followed by a real-world devotion around a fire.

This is not about coffee and donuts once a month. Men bond outdoors, through shared struggle. That’s why when a guy joins Men’s Alliance, he immediately experiences real brotherhood—closer friendships than he’s ever had before.

And it’s not just about fitness. Men’s Alliance equips you to lead spiritually, to disciple your family, and to be the man God designed you to be. Go to mensalliancetribe.com to find a tribe near you—or start one in your area.
