Podcasts about fatherhood

Glen Henry is a creator, husband, father of four, and the heart behind Beleaf in Fatherhood, a YouTube community of more than a million people. Once a hip-hop artist who didn't want kids, Glen is now one of the most powerful voices reshaping what it means to be a modern dad. Through his podcast How Married Are You?, his new book Father Yourself First, and his storytelling online, Glen brings humor, honesty, and hope to the everyday chaos of parenting.   Today, Glen shares how becoming a father led him to face the wounds of his past, rediscover his purpose, and learn that leading your family starts with leading yourself. He opens up about mentorship, faith, the beauty in ordinary family life, and how to heal from the inside out so you can show up with love, presence, and purpose.   My friends, if you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough, this conversation is for you. You'll leave with a deeper sense of grace for yourself, a renewed belief in the power of family, and the encouragement to keep showing up (even on the hard days!) with love, presence, and hope.

For two seasons now, I've shared a broadcast booth with Guy Haberman—a voice built for Saturdays and a friend built for life. This week on Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor 76 — keeping you on the GO-GO-GO so you never miss a beat, I sat down with Guy for one last conversation before his world changes forever. In a few weeks, he and his wife Alyssa will welcome their first child.So before football, before anything else, we talked about that.Our job as broadcasters is to notice—to study body language, tone, and timing. So I asked him what he's noticed most about his wife through the journey to parenthood. What followed was a reflection on steadiness, partnership, and what happens when the people closest to you reveal their best traits in the hardest moments. It reminded me that even in a profession obsessed with highlights, the most meaningful growth often happens quietly—off-camera, between breaths, in the spaces life gives us before everything changes.We also dove into the lessons learned from production meeting with head coaches, off-line chats on the sideline and the principles that are shared between a locker room and a living room.Guy not only works Saturday's in the fall but also Sunday's as one of the radio voices for the San Francisco 49ers. And once his son arrives he will be back on the hardwood calling basketball games for Big Ten Network, Fox and NBC/Peacock. When we talked about the craft of broadcasting, Guy described the last two seasons as an exercise in presence. Each week he focused on getting a little bit better—on one small thing—knowing this would be a shorter season before he turned his attention to fatherhood. That kind of intentional growth struck me. It's easy to talk about chasing big dreams; it's harder to live in the details of daily improvement. And as someone who studied film with him each week, he's right and he lived with a growth mindset all summer and fall.The theme that echoed throughout our time together was simple: the best performers—whether in football, broadcasting, or life—operate with clarity, humility, and consistency. They don't get caught up in what's next. They just keep showing up, refining their process, trusting the people around them, and letting time reveal the result. From Kyle Shanahan to Ryan Day to PJ Fleck and everyone in between—there is a red thread that ties success together.This episode isn't about highlights or hot takes—it's about friendship, discipline, and the beauty of life's little gifts. It's about learning to Chase What Matters, on and off the field and if you get a little lucky, you'll get a few great games along the way.I'm off to Madison, Wisconsin this weekend for Washington, finally ranked and in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, as they visit Camp Randall for the first time in 57 years. More on the CFP this weekend and as the old saying goes, "the games they remember are the ones in November.”Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Fr. Mike highlights how God fights as a heavenly ally with the people of Israel in 2 Maccabees 11, and encourages us to actively fight alongside God in our daily battles. In our reading of Wisdom, Father points out how God corrects us little by little so we can learn to trust him. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 11, Wisdom 11-12, and Proverbs 25:8-10. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Zack Ponder shares his raw journey from struggling entrepreneur with a DUI to becoming a present father who homeschools four kids while his wife battles cancer. A former special education teacher who worked with profound autism students, Zack discovered God through the daily challenges of non-speaking, violent students and translated those insights into his books "Special Days" and the upcoming "Happy Days" devotional. Now splitting time between his construction business in North Idaho and Southern California where his wife receives treatment, Zack opens up about the transformation from doing the right things to actually being present, learning to ask "what" instead of "why" when facing hardship, and discovering that his podcast interviewing special needs parents became unexpected training for finally seeing and hearing his own wife. He discusses the critical shift that happened six months ago when he truly embraced fatherhood in the hospital, realizing that if he didn't keep it together and lead, his family would fall apart. Zack vulnerably shares about living with in-laws for ten months, the reality of needing God moment-by-moment through daily challenges, and why he believes comfort is the enemy of growth for fathers.Guest LinksThe Unspecial Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unspecial-podcast/id1829866470Instagram: @unspecialllc or @zackponderWebsite: unspecialllc.com---------Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

Was Jesus actually born in December? If not, why do we celebrate it then and not his actual birthday? Does celebrating it in December along with the traditional things that are a part of it have pagan roots? If so, does that mean Christians are wrong for celebrating Christmas? Does having a Christmas tree and other items as part of our celebration violate rules in Deuteronomy or other Bible passages?

A thirteen-year-old can now decide who sees their records in many states, and too often that means dad gets locked out. We pull back the curtain on how policy, portals, and a feelings-first mindset are reshaping family dynamics in clinics, counseling rooms, and courtrooms—and why active father involvement remains one of the strongest predictors of a child's long-term wellbeing.Join our Signal Channel: https://shorturl.at/8yqTbJoin The Divorce Dadvocate Membership Community - FULL Episodes - Live Meetings – FREE Workshops & Courses – Private Discussion Groups & MORE! - https://thedivorceddadvocate.com/membership-tiers/How Are You Adjusting To Your Divorce?

In this episode, I dive into one of the hardest truths many men face after becoming fathers: the woman you married may not be the same woman after the baby arrives.For a lot of men—especially the more sensitive or anxiously attached ones—this change feels like emotional whiplash.

I read and discuss a real Reddit post from a man who experienced this after 20 years of marriage... and what his story reveals about millions of couples worldwide.We'll talk about:Why this shift happens biologically and emotionallyThe reality of “Wife 1.0” vs. “Wife 2.0”How men can respond without falling into resentment or despairWhat to do when your wife refuses counseling or intimacyHow anxious attachment can make this pain even worseAnd why community and brotherhood are vital for recoveryThis is a brutally honest but deeply empathetic look at one of the most misunderstood transitions in modern marriage.

What does it really take to become unshakable - mentally, emotionally, and in business?For Gary Vaynerchuk, serial entrepreneur and CEO of VaynerX, it started with fear. Growing up an immigrant in a small New Jersey home, he battled the constant anxiety of losing his parents. That fear became fuel. Today, Gary is one of the most influential voices in entrepreneurship, and a leading advocate for emotional strength, self-awareness, and detachment from external validation.Gary and I unpack how early trauma shaped his resilience, how he stays grounded while operating billion-dollar ventures, and why chasing admiration is the surest way to lose yourself.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction & Childhood Fear01:19 – Taking Responsibility in Life01:44 – Gary Vee's Daily Life Post-COVID05:16 – Fatherhood & Work-Life Balance08:51 – Roots, Immigrant Backgrounds & Drive12:06 – Emotional Intelligence & Detachment from Material Validation14:18 – Thriving in Adversity & Emotional Strength16:20 – Childhood Fear as a Superpower19:54 – Trauma, Adversity & Growth23:32 – Taking the Wheel of Your Life27:59 – Spirituality & Oneness32:30 – Gratitude & Practical Life Lessons35:26 – Growth, Loneliness & Imposter Syndrome36:53 – Empathy, Perspective & Closing ThoughtsLike this episode?

This week on The Price for Paradise Podcast, I'm joined by a returning guest and close friend — a nurse supervisor and proud father to a daughter. We dive into conversations about fatherhood, health, and the balancing act of leading in the hospital while raising a family. He shares insights from his role as a nurse supervisor, the lessons he's learned about health through the lens of both work and parenting, and how becoming a dad has shaped his perspective on life. If you're interested in fatherhood, leadership, and the connection between family and health, you'll take a lot from this one.

I thought I was doing everything right as a dad but then my daughter sat me down and told me where I'd missed the mark.In this honest and hilarious father–daughter conversation, we talk about the moments when dads try to show up but accidentally fall short — like that time I bought diapers instead of pads.

On our perpetual quest for bigger, better, faster, wealthier, and stronger, we're led to believe that more is the answer – more gadgets, advanced technology, connections, resources, money, entertainment, etc. But what if there was a case to be made the answer to fulfillment is not in more but in less? My guest today, Dewyane Noel, makes that case. We talk about why less is more, how to reduce noise, chaos, and distraction in the modern world, the value of a hard day's work, what we can learn about human behavior through good horsemanship, and why good men ride good horses.

We welcome back visionary storyteller Glenn Henry (Belief in Fatherhood) as he discusses his new book, Father Yourself First (dropping November 4th). Glenn gets real about the hard work of parenting, moving past the romanticized YouTube version. He shares the personal crisis that fueled the book, including throwing a tantrum in the office mirror and the dilemma of his inner child being jealous of the parent he became. Hear how Glenn had to reconcile with his wife, even taking a CNA job (resulting in a very memorable story) to prove his willingness to work. We also unpack the unexpected Stanley Cup experience that led him from hating hockey to being "all in".

For generations, some parents have tried withholding praise, withholding pride, withholding approval so that their kids don't feel entitled to it. The idea is that this will make them hungry, make them really work for it.

Fireworks took his hand — but not his purpose.In this episode, Josh Kosnick sits down with Ben Shortreed, a Marine Corps veteran, entrepreneur, father, and 2025 Superhuman Man of the Year. What began as a backyard party ended with Ben losing his left hand in a freak fireworks accident. What followed was even more brutal: unbearable phantom pain, opioid dependency, an identity crisis, and a battle with suicide.But this story isn't about suffering — it's about the blueprint for mental toughness that Ben forged in the fire.Inside this raw and transparent conversation: • The night that changed everything • Facing down phantom pain and addiction • How fitness helped him reclaim his identity • Fatherhood, faith, and finding purpose through adversity • Why he joined the Bridge Builder Mastermind • What “no excuses” actually looks like

In this episode, I sit down with Clay Butler, CEO of Agape International Missions (AIM), for a powerful conversation on fighting child trafficking and how present, intentional fatherhood is one of the most effective weapons in that fight. With over 2,000 rescues and hundreds of traffickers arrested, Clay's work is nothing short of heroic—but it's his role as a father that has most shaped his mission.   We explore what it truly means to lead as a man, not just in high-stakes global work, but in the day-to-day role of being a protector at home. Clay shares how fatherhood has deepened his approach to leadership, the importance of modeling safe masculinity, and why raising strong, loved, and secure children is one of the greatest forms of resistance to evil. This episode will challenge and inspire any man who wants to leave a legacy worth living for.     Episode Highlights [0:00] – Introduction [1:01] – A staggering global reality: a child is trafficked every 30 seconds [2:24] – Clay's transformation from young volunteer to CEO of AIM [5:13] – Why Clay initially took a three-month volunteer trip… and never left [9:06] – Finding emotional equilibrium in a traumatic field [10:29] – How fatherhood amplified—not hindered—Clay's leadership [12:04] – The power of modeling safe fatherhood for rescued girls [14:21] – Humility, teamwork, and spiritual grounding in life-or-death operations [20:03] – Tactical and emotional ways to protect your family in public [22:15] – Why kids from foster care are the most trafficked in America [28:12] – Real actions men can take to stop trafficking—starting at home [29:02] – Navigating the tension of preserving childhood innocence while teaching safety [34:45] – Avoiding burnout: ruthless prioritization and reverse engineering legacy [38:07] – Clay's evolving legacy: from warrior to father to restorer       5 Key Takeaways   1. Fatherhood is powerful – Being a present, loving father is one of the most effective deterrents to child trafficking, both at home and globally. 2. Rescue is only the beginning – AIM's model goes beyond rescue to include healing, job training, and long-term restoration. 3. The U.S. isn't exempt – Most trafficking victims in the U.S. come from broken foster care systems. Supporting those systems can change lives. 4. You can protect your kids daily – Small actions like staying aware in public, modeling healthy masculinity, and teaching intuitive safety make a big difference. 5. Your legacy starts now – You don't need to lead a global organization to be a hero. Leading at home with purpose and love is enough.       Links & Resources   Agape International Missions (AIM): https://aimfree.org AIM Apparel – Support rescued girls through ethical apparel: https://aimapparel.com Bark (Parental Control App): https://thedadedge.com/bark Episode Show notes: thedadedge.com/1393     If this episode sparked something in you, share it with a fellow dad, leave a review, and don't forget to follow the podcast.

Your focus may shift in parenthood, but that's what's meant to happen.

Pastor Matt Chavez shares how he inherited his dad's passionate temperament—both the cheering and the anger—and how James 4:1 exposed the inner war that can spill into parenting. He urges surrendering anger to Jesus and checking your heart before it harms those you love.
