This episode zooms in on fatherhood and godly masculinity, drawing from Man Up, A Guide to Godly Masculinity. Using a Bill Maher monologue on “trad dads” as a cultural springboard, Pastor Alex makes the case for fathers who lead with love, clarity, and authority, parents first, friends second. He unpacks practical dad principles, why “because I said so” can be appropriate at times, how to cultivate teachability and resilience, and why kids must learn it is not all about them. A Steph Curry family story illustrates consequences and commitment at home before commitments on the court. A driveway coaching moment shows how sports develop mental toughness, paying dues, and earning leadership. The charge to dads is simple: show up, speak up, invest daily in your kids’ “love tank,” meet them where they are, then bring them where you are in life and faith. Moms are encouraged to release grown kids with wisdom. The goal is to raise leaders, not whiners.
