Nate Dumlao | Competing as a Father, Leading with Purpose, and Winning from Within
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Hate To Lose, Christian sits down with Nate Dumlao—pastor, communicator, co-founder of the wildly popular Dads Who Try podcast (2.2M+ followers), and a man whose life has been defined by purpose, perseverance, and radical transformation. From watching his father battle early-onset dementia to leading a global youth ministry, Nate shares how competition has evolved in his life—from paintball tournaments to parenting, from ego-driven ambition to Christ-centered leadership. Together, they explore what it means to compete in fatherhood, how to find rhythm over balance, and the tension between your eternal identity and physical reality. 🔥 Topics Covered: Competing as a dad vs. competing with your dad Learning to lead by loving, not dominating Winning by showing up: in life, marriage, and parenting Flow states, adrenaline addiction, and post-sport identity What it really means to die to your dream—and watch God resurrect it How the Cross redefines what it means to never lose If you're a high-achiever, parent, or purpose-driven leader who hates to lose—but wants to grow in how you win—this one will speak to your soul. 🔔 Subscribe and drop a comment if this episode resonated with you. 🎧 Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube 📲 Follow @hatetolosepodcast | @christianjohnbradley | @dadswhotry Purchase your Crown Cards today! https://www.forthecompetitors.com/crowncards
