We should try to get better at not doing this, but we also should be kinder to our kids when they're doing not only something pretty natural, but something they've seen us do plenty of times.

We spend years trying to give our kids what we didn't have, only to turn around and worry that maybe they have it a little too good.

Don't you see how lucky you are? Don't you see how rich you are?

Some homes raise kids under a list of man-made rules — others let anything go. Both are a form of rebellion against God. The dads discuss how fathers can set biblical standards for movies, music, and modesty in the home without sliding into either ditch, and why the motive behind a standard matters as much as the standard itself.

As we chase wealth, we often forget that we are rich.

Send us Fan MailCancer at 24 will either harden you or wake you up. When Mike Ferriter gets the call that he has testicular cancer, the “healthy young athlete” story disappears overnight, and gratitude stops being a nice idea and becomes a survival skill. We talk through what that season teaches him about time, empathy, and the quiet truth that everyone around you is fighting something, whether you can see it or not. We also get into the foundations that shape Mike's approach to fatherhood: growing up in Montana in a big, close family, learning discipline without fear, and hearing two words as a sixth grader that still hold up today: integrity and adversity. We connect those values to real parenting, like how we talk to our kids about failure, how we build resilience without coddling, and why being present sometimes looks like getting on the floor and playing even when you are tired. Then we pivot to work and identity. Mike shares the fog of coaching life, the crossroads moment after a successful season, and why he chooses a new path at Central Washington University as Associate Director of Development supporting scholarships and student-athletes through fundraising.

There is a wall between you and your feelings. A wall between you and your family. It's time for it to come down.

We're loving this new 'analog room' trend of screen-free spaces for reading, records, and real conversation. Remembering an Icon: Dolly Parton, and what "Dads-to-Be" should never do in the delivery room. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whoever you are, whatever you do, you can be someone your kids respect, someone they can be proud of.

This episode helps dads understand why they keep reacting the same way — and how to change it without shame or self-hatred.In this conversation, Jey Young and Duncan Rich explore the challenges fathers face in managing stress and emotional regulation. They discuss how societal models of masculinity can lead to feelings of overwhelm and inadequacy among dads. Duncan emphasizes the importance of understanding one's nervous system and adopting a bottom-up approach to emotional regulation, which focuses on bodily awareness rather than cognitive strategies. The discussion also highlights the significance of vulnerability, presence, and the impact of emotional patterns passed down from fathers to sons. Ultimately, the conversation encourages fathers to take responsibility for their emotional well-being and to prioritize self-care as a means of fostering healthier relationships with their children. takeawaysMost dads feel overwhelmed, not angry.Dads want to be patient but often struggle.Emotional patterns from childhood affect fatherhood.Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.Stress responses start in the body, not the mind.Co-regulation with others helps manage stress.Children learn emotional regulation from their parents.Self-care is essential for effective parenting.Acknowledging feelings is crucial for connection.Change takes practice and patience.Chapters00:00 Understanding Overwhelm in Fatherhood06:19 The Model of Masculinity and Its Impact11:04 Taking Responsibility for Change16:16 The Bottom-Up Approach to Emotional Regulation22:29 The Importance of Presence and Connection26:37 Navigating Stress and Presence as a Parent29:15 The Challenge of Staying Present in Difficult Moments35:12 Understanding Emotional Patterns Passed from Father to Son43:00 Advice for New Dads: Prioritizing Your Happiness

Send us Fan MailWhen a child comes out as transgender, every parent begins a journey. One of Mama Dragons' big priorities this year is building deeper community—making sure every parent feels seen and knows they are not alone. And while moms often find one another pretty naturally, dads don't always have those same spaces to ask questions, wrestle with big feelings, or simply hear another dad say, "Yeah, I've been there too." Today In the Den, Sara sits down with three dads to talk about those first moments of learning their child was transgender, the questions they wrestled with, the things they got wrong, the things they learned, and the ways their kids have expanded their hearts and their understanding of what it means to love unconditionally. Whether you're a mom hoping to better understand your partner, a dad looking for someone who gets it, or anyone who loves a transgender young person, we think you're going to find something meaningful in these conversations.Special Guest: Mike JonesMike is a senior software developer in Boise, Idaho.

They are still so young, still figuring stuff out, still trying to make sense of their bodies and the world, still doing their best (even when they're screwing up, even when they're driving you crazy).

The dads discuss the difficult process of preserving and growing your relationship with kids who are leaving for marriage – rather than stepping back too far or holding on too tight. They talk about how parents can keep from saying too much – or too little – while appropriately backing off…the proper alternative to feeling that you're "losing a child"…and how they have personally navigated these difficult but blessed times.

Danielle Fishel and Patrick Renna are thirty years past Boy Meets World and The Sandlot, and both of them now spend their weekends on a Little League field yelling things they immediately regret. They join Covino and Rich on Overpromised to talk about Dugout Dads, the comedy series that reunites most of the original Sandlot cast, premiering August 26 on Patrick Renna's YouTube channel. Patrick explains how the idea came from a real championship loss where the parents were crying in the parking lot while the kids played tag five seconds later, and why he had to apologize to a rival coach who unfollowed him on social media. Danielle explains what it feels like to have people watch her go to high school for three decades, why she said yes to the show immediately, and what it was really like coaching, parenting and dancing eight hours a day at the same time. Rich also finds out on the air whether the kids on his team actually like him as much as he says they do.

You have to decide that the kids are the center of your life—not conferences, not meetings, not being ‘in the room where it happens.'

Send us Fan MailThank you, Shannon Steadman, for making today's episode possible!!!Your kids won't remember your job title, but they'll remember whether you were there. That's the heartbeat of this conversation with Josh Iadarola, a dad who has lived the hard parts of fatherhood and kept showing up anyway.We start with gratitude and get honest about mental health, anxiety, and the quiet pressure so many dads carry. Josh shares what he's most grateful for as a father, why mental well-being deserves as much attention as physical health, and how vulnerability can become a strength instead of a liability. We also talk about the values he learned growing up in a tight family routine: consistency, discipline, respect, and a work ethic modeled through sacrifice.Then we go deeper into divorce, co-parenting, and the grit required to stay present when life gets complicated. Josh opens up about the commitment he made to his son, the emotional reality of Sunday drop-offs, and what it means to create a positive home even when you're hurting. From there, we shift into blended family life and “bonus kids,” what helped him build trust quickly, and why he sees a bigger family as more love, not more problems. Along the way, we hit practical leadership lessons for the home: respond instead of react, apologize when you miss, and parent each child as an individual with their own needs.We also spotlight Josh's professional world at CoWorx Staffing Services and how they think about staffing, retention, safety, and employee engagement through a service-first model. If you're a working dad trying to lead with humility, curiosity, and steadiness, you'll get plenty to take back to your own household.

What if you feel like you don't know enough about the Bible to really make a difference? In this episode, the guys welcome back Dr. John Trent to talk about the incredible impact one person can have on the lives of others—even when they may feel like they don't have much to offer. John shares the powerful story of one man who made a difference in his life and the lives of his friends. It's a reminder that God doesn't need us to know everything. He simply asks us to trust Him with what we do know and be willing to use it. You may never know how much your small acts of faith, encouragement, or obedience can impact someone else. Don't underestimate the little things. God can use them for something much bigger than you realize.

In a world full of misinformation and misdirection, isn't this the inheritance we want to pass down? To show our children how to master their minds and hold onto their inner freedom no matter the situation?

"Every decision I've ever made in my life, good and bad, has been in an effort to get my father to tell me he loved me." This one moves in three parts: the apology you owe your kids, the dance you are still in with your own dad, and the forgiveness that sets you free. It starts at a kitchen table, where a dad raising his voice over math homework suddenly recognizes the scene, because he lived it at his son's age, on the other side of the table. Psychologist Dr. Kelly Flanagan takes the question everyone asks after a moment like that, "Did I repair it okay?", and reframes the whole thing: your kids don't need you to be perfect, and an apology is a gift, because it teaches them they don't have to be perfect either. Then Ryland Englehart of Cafe Gratitude gets asked for a painful memory of his father and lands somewhere more honest: gratitude first, and a dance with his dad's expectations that is still alive today, because a son spends his life trying to prove his father wrong or make his father proud. And then Michael Chernow, who built The Meatball Shop and Seamore's, answers the hardest version of the question: have you forgiven him? What follows- a father lost during Chernow's addiction, and the moment years later when he finally heard the words he had been chasing- is one of the most powerful stretches of tape in our archive.   IN THIS EPISODE: The kitchen-table moment: recognizing your own childhood wound mid-yell "We worry from our wounds": why your reaction is about you before it is about them Flanagan on why apologizing to your kids is a gift, not a failure The empathy-vs-boundaries pendulum our generation of parents swings on Englehart on the expectations dance with his dad, still running today "Prove his father wrong or make his father proud": the paradigm most men live inside Chernow on hating his father, losing him, and the breathwork session where he finally heard "I love you" What forgiveness actually freed him to build at home  

Nick Scrivens returns to the Art of Fatherhood to explore more into his fatherhood journey. He shares how being a dad is similar to being an entrepreneur.

You want to make good time. You don't want to be delayed. You don't want to linger. But why?

Give your kids enough that they can do anything, but not so much that they can do nothing. That Warren Buffett line is where this one starts. You worked hard so your family could have a good life. So how do you keep the life you built from softening the kids you love? This is the first episode of Good Questions, where we pull the best questions dads have asked across ten years of podcasts and member-only conversations, and stack the answers worth keeping. Four dads take this one on: Mike McCarthy on being honest with your kids about your wealth and what the trust will and will not do, Chad Willardson on raising abundance-minded kids instead of scarcity-minded ones, Scott Donnell on why you should let them waste some of their own money, and Dan Miller on how early kids should start working (his answer involves a rebuilt motorcycle and a 10-year-old).   IN THIS EPISODE: The Buffett rule: enough to do anything, not so much they do nothing What to actually tell your kids about your money, and what the trust should gate Overpaying your kids on purpose: $50 book reports and a 12-year-old's dog-walking business "Let them buy the Mountain Dew": why a wasted $30 now beats a wasted $3,000 later The $410 motorcycle rebuild that taught a 10-year-old to earn what he rides Why kids learn economics from life experiences, not from sitting in seats  

This episode is about helping dads replace fear and shame with clarity, courage, and leadership.In this conversation, Jey Young and Chris Rogers discuss the pervasive issue of pornography exposure among children and adolescents. They explore the neurological and developmental impacts of early exposure to porn, emphasizing the importance of open communication between parents and children.

This is the 2nd Annual Dads of Sunday episode! The Sons of Saturday are handing the mics over to the dads for a conversation about Virginia Tech football, fatherhood, family, and everything that comes with being a diehard Hokie. The fellas kick things off with some Virginia Tech nostalgia, including their favorite childhood Hokie stars, the best opposing players they've ever seen in Lane Stadium, and the Hokies who need to have a “Dad Season” in 2026. They also break down the classic dad-isms every football fan has yelled at the TV. Then it's all things fatherhood: potty training, getting kids into sports, the insanity of club sports, getting older, BBQ debates, and the eternal question: “Is my kid a phenom, or am I just an idiot?” Towards the end, there's a debate over which former Virginia Tech player we'd bring back for 2026 (Michael Vick is off the table), expectations for the upcoming season, and what each dad considers a successful year. Plus: dad fits, beer, football stories, and plenty of opinions along the way. So grab a beer and join the dads - by the end you'll feel like you could proudly rock some socks and sandals. Go Hokies!

Of all the things parents have to worry about, their kid picking up a banned book shouldn't be one of them. In today's episode, Ryan and Sam talk about banned books, what happens when kids discover something adults have labeled “inappropriate,” and the parenting opportunity hidden inside that moment.

You work all day. What you do is important…and more important, it's what pays for your whole life. But what happens when you get home?

Fatherhood is a series of windows that open and close. The one you're leaving usually never opens again. For years we've been asking guests on this show some version of the same question: what do you wish you knew before your first kid? For the last day of NEW DAD WEEK, we pulled four of the best answers and put them back to back. No commentary, just four dads who've been through it telling you what they'd want you to know. You'll hear from Ryan Levesque, Michael Dietrich-Chastain, Farhan Rizvi, and Matt Baudro. Free field guide for the whole week at frontrowdads.com/newdad.   IN THIS EPISODE: Ryan Levesque: fatherhood is forever, and it's a series of windows that close. Remember to remember. Michael Dietrich-Chastain: expect reactivity from everyone, don't take it as an attack, and the hard roads are temporary. Stay in the "wow." Farhan Rizvi: have grace on yourself. Being a dad is like baseball, where a great batting average is in the .200s. Matt Baudro: step back and figure out who your kid actually is, then come alongside them, instead of trying to raise a smaller version of yourself.   THE FULL NEW DAD WEEK: Part 1: Listen, don't fix (Jason Kreidman) Part 2: What no one tells dads about postpartum (Suzanne Yatim Aslam) Part 3: Put your wife first (Steve Olsher) Part 4: Sleep survival (Mollie Eastman) Part 5: This one.

Who cares? Not you…because you assume someone else will care.
