Many of us are born into the mess called generational sin: The reality of a family or fatherly wound that often leads into sin for many generations. There are choices we can take to sever our relationship with these sins in our families.

Too many fathers have adopted the same approach with their families, “planting the garden” but ignoring the ongoing and focused work so desperately needed in their home. Stewarding the growth of children is a father's obligation.

With modern education, children are in a world centered on accomplishment rather than eternity. Fathers play a particular role in their children's spiritual upbringing.

John Heinen, Devin Schadt, and Sam Guzman discuss the incomparable role that fathers have in the lives of their children. Being a father is not easy; however, our families and our societies depend on it. Today we distill the struggles of a father to the largest reason that fathers fail. This reason can present itself in two extremes and understanding this reality is only going to help you be the man you were created to be. Join us as we explore these challenges and discover how to embrace fatherhood with confidence and purpose.

A father’s work is cultivated in the home, doing the difficult things like creating order, discipline, and structure. A father’s work demands that we engage in family life, not just be casual observers.

If we neglect the little things, we neglect everything. The big things (marriage, careers, friendships, children) are made of the little things (an unnoticed good deed, a phone call with a friend, sharing a compliment just because).

Today we are joined by Fr. Mary-Mary Ames of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal to discuss the depth of fatherhood in a search to answer: Who is God the Father? We discuss Fr. Mary-Mary's conversion story that led him to serve the poorest of the poor and sleeping on the floor, to how God the Father has brought him to a deep understanding of His love. Through incredible stories of biological earthly fathers, we shed light on how these men can give us a glimpse of God the Father.

Our society is a mess, and when you get down to the quick of it, you find the crisis of men not living their lives as good fathers. It's a sad truth that many in our society struggle to comprehend what it truly means to be a good father, let alone how to live as one. Today we discuss the one thing that makes a great father. This one thing is crucial for all men to know, not just fathers, because in understanding this you can start living your life in reality. We go into practical ways that this truth plays out in the relationship between fathers and their children and the consequences when it is ignored. In addition, we also answer a listener's question about dating a non-Catholic and what advice we have for him. We discuss man's need for temptation and how Satan gains entrance into our lives. We unpack why you need to know the tactics of Satan, how understanding this can provide clarity in your lives, and how you can be battle-ready to protect yourself against his attacks.
