Why did Jesus say no—and why does that matter for you as a dad?

In this episode, we talk about boundaries, calling, and the quiet cost of saying yes to everything. Jesus didn’t heal people and then automatically bring them along. Sometimes He said no—because He was crystal clear about what He was saying yes to.

If you feel pulled in a hundred directions by work, culture, expectations, and other people’s agendas, this conversation will help you slow down and realign.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why Jesus’ “no” often confused people
  • How unclear priorities lead to burnout
  • Why your wife and kids pay the price for your overcommitment
  • How to confidently say no without explanation or guilt

Plus, there’s a simple one-page worksheet to help you put this into practice.
