JD opens up about his own dad a man of integrity who woke his son up every morning before football practice, said no to bringing a friend on a camping trip because he wanted time with his son, and whose quiet strength became the foundation JD stood on when he was kicking heroin and had nothing else. He talks about how the wounds a father leaves behind or the strength he builds echo through generations, and why the way you live right now is shaping not just your children but their children too.
This episode gets real about what fatherhood actually requires not being your kid's friend, but being the rock they run to when life gets hard. JD breaks down why doing hard things daily is the only way to become the man your family needs, why your son is watching everything you do, and why if you're not the man you want your son to become, Father's Day weekend is as good a time as any to change that.
From cold plunges to early alarms, from protecting your wife to praying with your kids this is JD's full-throated call for men to stand back up, get in shape, and lead their families the way God built them to.
