Often, we as dads are overcritical of ourselves, and it is time that we realize that a lot of good happens in our families because of us and the vital role we play. Today I am joined by my dear friend, Dean Hawk. In today's episode, Dean shares incredible wisdom and insight about his journey as a dad, a youth pastor, and a lead pastor. May this episode bless you.
