Lessons From Fatherhood: God's Desire To Be With His Children

The GoodLion Podcast

Hey everyone, it’s been a while since I've put out new episodes on this show! Life, as it does, has gotten in the way. The busyness of work, family, all the unexpected curveballs that come with being a husband and a dad, and running both an itinerant ministry and a small business.

But today, something shifted. I felt this nudge, like God was saying, "It’s time to share again." So here I am, back in my little backyard podcast studio, feeling inspired to talk about what God’s been teaching me lately—through the process of raising my son, Jack.

I’ve learned so much these past years. Things I didn’t see coming, things I didn’t even know I needed to learn. You know how it goes... you think you’re the one doing the teaching. You’ve got the wisdom, the guidance, the "dad lessons" ready to pass down... and then... suddenly, you realize it’s actually you being shaped. You’re the one learning. And it’s happening in the small moments—bedtime stories, scraped knees, and those sweet, chaotic days that you wish could last forever and end all at the same time.

In this episode, I want to share some of those moments with you. This episode is a snapshot of fatherhood, and a glimpse at the heart of God the father for His children.

So, whether you’re a parent or not, I hope today’s episode blesses you. In the process of us raising our children, God is raising us too.
