Steadfast Fatherhood

Steadfast (adj.): “Firm in purpose, unwavering in commitment, loyal under pressure.” In a world that shifts with every trend, we plant our feet. For faith, for family, for truth. We don’t flinch. We don’t fold. We stand steadfast.

Playing whatever this sport is with my 3 yo son last night. He nails a perfect shot. I shout “Wow buddy, that was amazing, that was your best one yet!” He lights up, grinning, laughing, fist-pumping. Then runs over and hugs me. Pure joy. Kids are the best!

Most dads don’t need more time with their kids. They need less phone in the time they already have. 10 minutes of full presence beats 2 hours of distracted scrolling beside them. Put it down. Look them in the eye. That’s fatherhood

Jesus filled their nets with so much fish the boats nearly sank. But how much was it really? Enough to make them rich? And why did they walk away from it all? The miracle in Luke 5 is deeper than you think. 🧵

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up, again and again. Hug them when you’re tired. Apologize when you mess up. Laugh loud. Love steady. That’s the dad they’ll never forget

We teach kids to color inside the lines, then wonder why adults can’t think outside the box.

When your daughter asks “Daddy come on the slide with me!” You say “Yes my dear!” And go down the slide with her The world has enough parents on the benches lost inside their little glowing rectangles. Don’t be that parent Play. With. Your. Kids.

You scroll past truth a thousand times a day but the dopamine keeps you numb

You won’t find your purpose in pixels. It’s waiting in your home, your faith, your family.

Leaving @joerogan off a top 100 podcast list is like leaving: Jordan off basketball Elvis off rock Star Wars off film Einstein off science Messi off soccer iPhone off gadgets You don’t have to like him, but pretending he didn’t change the game is just dishonest

I’ve heard this song thousands of times but couldn’t have told you the lyrics beyond “cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon little boy blue and the man on the moon” Just listened to it and read the lyrics Ooof! “You’ll know we’ll have a good time then” Don’t wait for THEN

Seeing dots is knowledge. Connecting them is wisdom. Most stop at the first and mistake it for the second.

If you read to your kids 20 minutes a night: -that’s 121 hours a year -Over 1,200 hours in 10 years -More time than most dads spend talking to their kids total Still think bedtime stories don’t matter?

Your job will replace you. Your kids won’t. Act accordingly.

Reading this gem by @Homeschool_LLC My 7 yo son sees it on the coffee table and excitedly says: “Dad! This book is called “Kids need school”, but mom put a piece of tape on it so now it’s actually called “Kids DON’T Need School! He’s pretty excited about the concept! 😝

And do the character voices!

Kids Don’t Need School! If you want to know what they need, get the book.
