Fatherhood Unscripted: A Dad Life and Parenting Podcast

The #1 Thing Kids Need From Their Dad


Listen Later

Today is a soft relaunch of the podcast — because life changed, the schedule shifted, and this season is going to look a little different. DJ is taking a longer hiatus, so for now I’m taking the reins and bringing you honest, faith-driven conversations for dads who want to grow, lead, and be present.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned from some of the incredible dads who’ve sat across from us:
Shawn Finnegan — compassion through your kids
Tyler McAdams — legacy and responsibility
Logan & Tyson (DadBodsandBeards) — presence over perfection
Joe from You Matter Dad — grace for the journey

And here’s the truth:
Your kids don’t need a perfect dad. They need a present one.
Not distracted. Not overwhelmed. Not silently struggling. Present.

In this episode we talk:
• Being overwhelmed & showing up anyway
• Breaking the “I’m fine” cycle
• How a distracted dad becomes an absent dad
• Taking ownership of your growth
• Faith, fatherhood, and the gaps only God can fill

If this message hits home… share it with a dad who needs it.
