What if the surest way to protect your kids isn’t tighter rules, but a truer you? We dive into fatherhood at the level that actually changes homes—identity, hope, and a resurrection-shaped way of living that our children can see and follow. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 15 and Romans 8, we unpack what it means to move from the image of Adam to the image of the Man of heaven, and why that shift frees dads from shame, perfectionism, and performance. Along the way, we share a raw story of addiction interrupted by a simple word—“You’re going to be okay”—and how that kind of grace becomes a father’s most powerful tool.
We get practical, too. Instead of lectures, we talk about modeling: opening Scripture each morning, asking forgiveness when we miss it, blessing our wives in front of our children, and naming our own temptations so our children learn to return to God when they fail. We explore how “grave-tending” religion keeps families small, while the Spirit invites us into an expectant, childlike posture—What’s next, Papa?—that reshapes the atmosphere of the home. This is spiritual leadership that trades fear for presence and control for courage.
