No matter where you find yourself as a Christian, whether that be a faithful disciple or a full-time minister, you can never use God as an excuse to be absent from your family. That was never God’s design nor will it ever be His desire.

In this episode, I talk about identity and what it really means to put God first. As Christian fathers, our first identity is as disciples of Jesus. But that should never pull us away from being faithful husbands and present fathers. If our faith is real, it should make us better men at home.

I also share a personal announcement about the future rhythm of the podcast and why I am making a change for the sake of my wife, my children, and the mission God has placed in front of me.

In this episode you will learn:

1. Why your identity as a disciple should shape every other role.
2. Why God first should never mean your family gets your leftovers.
3. How Christian fatherhood requires faithfulness at home.

This episode is fatherhood advice for dads who want to lead their families well, love their wives faithfully, and become the men God has called them to be.
