In this episode of Dad Talks, I talk about how life lessons can hit you from the most random places. In this case, a movie line that stopped me in my tracks.

I open up about growing up in chaos and how that wired me to want control over everything. Looking back, a lot of my struggles trace back to that need to manage, fix, and hold it all together.

I share some personal stories about shame, how it creeps in, and how it can quietly drive our behavior if we are not careful. As a dad, I am realizing more and more that my kids are watching how I handle pressure, not just listening to what I say.

At the end of the day, this episode is really about learning to find peace on the inside. Not from controlling everything around me, but from trusting God and letting that trust shape how I lead at home and live my life.
