Father On Purpose Podcast
Being a godly dad is hard work. Challenges abound, and sometimes, we just need some ideas, encouragement, and a little laughter along the way. So, we created the Father On Purpose Podcast to have real, fun, and practical conversations about being dads. We've been honored with guests such as Chip Ingram, Stephen Kendrick, Gary Chapman, Clarence Shuler, and many more. Fatherhood is awesome, sacred, and hard all at the same time. We don't have all the answers, but together as dads, we'll try to figure it out. Find out how you're doing as a godly dad: https://bit.ly/GodlyDadQuiz

Ep. 230: Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World
What if the most powerful thing you could bring to Thanksgiving this year wasn’t your famous [insert random comfort food], but a grateful heart your kids can actually see? In this episode, Kent and Lawson help dads get super practical about gratitude, right in the middle of a noisy, entitled world. Using the word GRATEFUL as an acrostic, they walk through eight anchors for a dad’s heart: Grace, Reflection, Appreciation, Thanksgiving, Empathy, Faith, Understanding, and Love. You will hear stories about tiny frogs in a muddy trail, anonymous generosity on YouTube, benefit dinners that do not go as planned, and friends who choose gratitude in the middle of crushing loss. Together, Kent and Lawson connect these real-life moments to Scripture and to simple ideas you can try with your own family this Thanksgiving. Whether you want a quick conversation starter around the table, a game to play with your kids, or just a reset for your own attitude before the holiday rush, this episode will help you trade comparison and entitlement for a grateful, open-handed way of living. We'll also include the Scriptures we referenced below, in case you want to go back and study them for yourself. G - Grace: “For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” — John 1:16 (ESV) R - Reflection: “I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds.” — Psalm 77:12 (ESV) A - Appreciation: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV) T - Thanksgiving: “Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!” — Psalm 100:4 (ESV) E - Empathy: “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.” — Romans 12:15 (ESV) F - Faith: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” — Hebrews 11:1 (ESV) U - Understanding: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5 (ESV) L - Love: “We love because he first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19 (ESV) We've launched video now!

Ep. 229: Psalm 112 For Dads (Part 3) - Leaving A Godly Legacy For Your Kids

Ep. 229: Psalm 112 For Dads (Part 3) - Leaving A Godly Legacy For Your Kids
What kind of legacy are you really leaving for your kids – your name, or your Savior’s? In this final week of our Psalm 112 series, Kent and Lawson walk through verses 9 and 10 and unpack what it means for a dad to be generous and righteous, not wicked and worried. They talk about “freely scattering” your gifts like seed in a field, and how that applies to dad stuff like your time, your connections, your money, and even your encouragement. You will hear how Psalm 112 points beyond our performance to the perfect righteousness of Jesus, why real legacy is more about your great-grandkids loving God’s Word than anyone remembering your name, and how the “wicked being vexed” shows up today in jealousy, frustration, and comparison. The guys also get super practical about slowing down in Scripture, writing verses out by hand, and letting God’s Word soak in instead of just bouncing off your busy day. If you have ever wrestled with feeling like you are not enough as a dad, or you are tempted to chase your own platform instead of God’s purposes, this one is for you. In this episode you will learn: What it looks like for a dad to “freely scatter” his gifts in everyday family life How generosity, righteousness, and honor fit together in Psalm 112 Why your true legacy is Christ’s righteousness, not your achievements The difference between a struggling believer and the “wicked” in Scripture Simple ways to slow down, rightly handle God’s Word, and lead your family spiritually You are not a father on accident.

Ep. 228: Psalm 112 For Dads (Part 2) – Generosity vs. Entitlement...What Kind of Dad Are You?
What makes a man steady when life gets shaky? In part two of our Psalm 112 series, Kent and Lawson unpack verses 5–8 and discover that generosity isn’t just about giving money—it’s about living open-handed before God. From Lawson’s trip to visit his daughter in New York to Kent’s humbling “YMCA incident,” this episode is packed with real-life moments that show how generosity and trust in the Lord go hand in hand. The guys talk about what it means to raise kids who see a dad that listens well, admits when he’s wrong, and gives freely—whether that’s time, encouragement, or attention. They also tackle the trap of entitlement, how to build a heart that isn’t afraid of bad news, and why most dads underestimate the spiritual power of simple kindness. In this episode you’ll hear: How Psalm 112 links generosity to unshakeable stability The difference between generosity and entitlement How giving—of any kind—trains your heart to trust God Simple ways to model generosity for your kids Why admitting your mistakes at home might be your most generous act For the dad who wants to be steady, grateful, and rooted in God’s character—this one’s for you.

Ep. 227: Psalm 112 for Dads (Part 1) – How “Fear of the Lord” Shapes Your Home
What does a “Psalm 112 man” actually look like in a busy dad’s real life? Kent and Lawson kick off a three-week walk through Psalm 112 (vv. 1–4 today), unpacking what it means to fear the Lord, delight in His commands, and model four marks at home—upright, gracious, compassionate, and righteous. You’ll hear practical cues you can use this week, like scheduled windows for texts/emails, small daily “deposits,” and how to show grace in the grocery-store parking lot). We also talk perspective on “wealth and riches,” why righteousness endures, and how the gospel fuels growth over time—without pretending dads have to be perfect. Pull up a chair, laugh with us, and leave with two or three doable steps for leading your family with joy and awe. You’re not a father by accident—go be a Father On Purpose. We've launched video now!

Ep. 226: David "Goose" Mills on Being a Lighthouse, Not a Shipwreck
What if the fastest way to bond with your son wasn’t through another lecture—but with a hundred-pound sandbag and a fire? Today we sit down with military veteran and modern-day apologist David “Goose” Mills of Men’s Alliance Tribe, whose battle cry is this: isolation is terminal for dads. Goose shares three anchors for spiritual leadership at home—reject the lie that you’re disqualified, lead where you want your kids to go, and learn how to be a lighthouse, not just a shipwreck. We get super practical, unpacking why a paper Bible on the table matters, how to make small weekly “deposits” that compound over years, and why carving one hour to sharpen your axe (plus a standing date night) without guilt might be essential for your fatherhood rhythm. We also dive into apologetics for busy dads—Goose’s book Answer with Truth and his “Carry the Fire” training show how to raise kitchen-table apologists who can stand firm before college ever tests their faith. If you’ve been craving a band of brothers and a clear next step, today’s episode will light the way.

Ep. 225: Perfect Love or Present Fear? A Dad’s Guide to Trusting God
Has your "fear dial" felt like it's cranked to eleven lately? In this honest, funny, and practical conversation, Kent and Lawson unpack the tug-of-war between faith and fear—and why “biblical faith” isn’t faith in outcomes, it’s faith in a Person. You’ll hear a simple picture dads can use at the dinner table to explain how Jesus’ presence displaces fear, not just decreases it, plus a few stories from real dad life that’ll make you nod and laugh. We touch Mark 9:24 (“help my unbelief”), Hebrews 11, and Romans 10:17 without going seminary-level, then land on ways to model courageous trust for our kids this week. If your home has unknowns, this episode gives you a path from panic to peace.

Ep. 224: The Pathway to Peace – From Panic To Praise
Feeling the world spin a little too fast lately? In this honest conversation, Kent and Lawson unpack a simple five-step “Pathway to Peace” drawn from Philippians 4:6–9: panic, pause, pray, praise, and peace. While panic can often be an involuntary jolt, we discuss how intentional pausing resets your home’s tone, and how prayer and praise invite "the peace that surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4). Kent shares a fresh analogy that makes Christ's command “do not be anxious” feel doable, not dismissive, and Lawson tells a candid leadership story that every dad can learn from. Stay to the end for a special cameo—April reads Scripture that anchors the whole episode.

Ep. 223: Tim Sparrow On Staying In The Game As A Dad
What do youth sports reveal about us as dads? More than we might want to admit. In this conversation with Townsend Church Pastor and Upward Sports League Director Tim Sparrow, Kent and Lawson dig into the highs and lows of parenting on the sidelines. From yellow cards to halftime prayers, Tim shares how sports can be more than competition—they can be a training ground for humility, discipleship, and Christ-like leadership. We touch on topics like: Why kids benefit when dads show up the right way How to handle your own failures and model repentance The connection between pride, parenting, and competition Just a tease of some of Tim's wisdom: "When I feel ill-equipped because of my past experiences, I thank God for those experiences because that was him equipping me to be in the position that I'm in so that I can help people that are going through the same things." There's more where that come from in today's conversation with Tim. If you’ve ever lost your cool at a game or wondered how to keep Jesus at the center of all the busyness, this episode will encourage and challenge you to be a Father On Purpose.

Ep. 222: Sherman Smith On The Privilege and Responsibility of Being a Father
What happens when an NFL coach and lifelong disciple-maker sits down to talk about fatherhood, faith, and identity? In this conversation with Sherman Smith (former coach of the Seahawks and Titans), Kent and Lawson answer that question and uncover powerful lessons every dad needs to hear. Sherman shares how hiding God’s Word in his heart has shaped his life, why identity in Christ is the foundation for everything we do, and how our scars can become beauty marks when we pass wisdom to our kids. You’ll hear him connect football huddles, film study, and playbooks to the everyday grind of being a dad who follows Jesus. If you’ve ever felt like your past mistakes disqualify you, or you’ve struggled to balance being a great dad with being a godly husband, Sherman’s story will encourage you. His decades of coaching, fatherhood, and faith boil down to one simple truth: your greatest legacy isn’t on a scoreboard, it’s in the lives of your children and grandchildren. We hope today's episode and our conversation with Sherman challenges you to go and be a father on purpose. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Range Leather: Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Dad, have you ever wondered what happens when you get your identity right? And what’s at stake when you get it wrong? In this final part of our 3-week series on identity, we dig into the outcomes of discovering our biblical identity. Jesus says we’re the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13), the light of the world (Matthew 5:14), and the branches connected to the Vine (John 15:5). When you know who you are in Christ, your whole life flows from that identity: your confidence, your joy, your witness, even your ability to disciple your kids. We’ll talk about why your security as a dad rests in your identity, how to steer your family away from lies, and how walking in truth helps you lead with peace and purpose. This isn’t just about knowing Scripture—it’s about living it out at the dinner table, in tough conversations, and in the daily grind of fatherhood. Our challenge to you is this: let God and his Word be the only places you find your identity. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Range Leather: Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 220: IDENTITY - Components
Dad, who do you say you are? We live in a world that hands out labels like candy—your job, your personality type, your hobbies, your past. Some of those things matter, but not all of them belong in your identity bucket. In this episode, the second of a three part series on (you guessed it) IDENTITY, Kent and Lawson unpack the “I Am” statements of Jesus, explore what’s true only of Him, what’s true only of us, and what’s true of us both. From roles and skills to preferences and past experiences, we’ll wrestle with what shapes us—and what we shouldn't let define us. Bottom line? Your identifiers don't define your identity; God does. You’ll leave this episode with a clearer picture of your God-given identity, as well as some practical tools to help your kids sort through theirs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Range Leather: Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 219: IDENTITY - Foundations
When it comes to your identity, do you ever feel the pull to let culture, career, or even past mistakes define who you are? The stakes are high, and not just for you, but for your kids too. This episode will begin a three-part series on Identity, and for today, we’ll start with the foundations we look to on our journey to find out what our identity truly is. Together we’ll walk through six guiding principles, things like why the Bible must be our source, why God (not those around us or even ourselves) decides who we are, and how our words shape the way our children see themselves. You’ll be reminded that your identity is fixed, your character is (or at least should be!) growing, and your influence as a dad is more powerful than you may realize. This isn’t just theory. It’s biblical, it’s practical, and it’s the kind of conversation that can change the way you parent this week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Range Leather: Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 216: Blake asks THE BEST questions
If you knew the answer to every question you ever asked, would you still ask them? Probably not. However, we can learn from the model of Jesus who had at least some of (if not all) the answers to every question he ever asked...and yet he still asked them. Why? We believe that at least part of that answer is because Scripture teaches that the heart of the wise is a curious heart (Proverbs 18:15, 20:5). Asking questions does more than reveal information. It keeps you humble. You have more influence asking good questions than making a bunch of statements. In today's episode, we take a lesson from one of Kent's friends named Blake, who models this lifestyle of asking great questions. Our challenge to you? This week, choose the path of curiosity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Range Leather: Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 215: Three Key Ingredients of Biblical Fatherhood
What does it really mean to be a biblical father? Not just a moral, modern, or “cool” dad, but one who shapes his kids’ hearts for the Lord. In this episode, we break fatherhood down into three essential ingredients—straight from Scripture—so you can parent with purpose. Whether you’re a brand-new dad or a seasoned veteran, you’ll find biblical encouragement, practical wisdom, and even some laughter along the way. Think of this episode as a distillation of who we are at our core here at Father On Purpose. If you've been along for the ride with us for the last 4 years or so, we owe you our gratitude. We’ve also got a special challenge for you. If you're a dad who's just joining us, welcome aboard. We hope God uses us to "spur you on toward love and good deeds" (Heb 10:24) and that you would fully embrace becoming a Father On Purpose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Range Leather: Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 214: Whose Shoulders Are You Standing On?
Dad, have you paused lately to think about who has helped you become the father, husband, and man you are today? Chances are, you didn't get here alone. We're all products of past generosity. This episode is all about recognizing and appreciating those who've supported us behind the scenes. We want to celebrate the people who rarely get the spotlight but who play essential roles in our lives and stories. Namely, today we want to honor Lawson Brown. He's co-host extraordinaire, a friend that sticks closer than a brother, and one of the reasons you're able to listen to this show today. Thank you Lawson. In today's episode, Kent dives into some fascinating examples from history—like the unseen heroes behind the translation of the Bible or the creation of "Amazing Grace"—and shares stories from his own life and ministry. Listen in, be encouraged, and then take the challenge: thank someone who's made a difference in your journey, and help your kids see the value of gratitude in action. Generosity fuels the kingdom, and you probably have a lot more to give than you think. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Range Leather: Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 213: How Do You Define Success?
If you're anything like us, your answer to the title question might sound something like "well it depends...in what area?" What if we're asking the wrong question altogether? Our culture constantly pushes us to measure success in terms of work accomplishments, financial milestones, or social recognition. It's tempting to think of our life as an aggregate GPA, where we might be failing in one area, but hey, at least we're doing okay over here! It can be easy to hope our financial wins give us extra husband points, or our promotion at work makes up for all those missed ballgames. This week, we dive into powerful conversations exploring why success might be the wrong goal—and why faithfulness is the true target. We get into some of our favorite definitions of success, such as, "when those who know you best respect you the most" (thanks Mark!) or "being in the process of achieving a God-honoring goal." We'll also examine some biblical wisdom from Joshua, Psalms, Proverbs, and elsewhere to redefine our idea of prospering and effectiveness. Forget compartmentalizing life into separate scorecards. This episode is your invitation to embrace contentment, pursue incremental progress, and anchor your plans firmly in faithfulness to God. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 212: Let Go of the Blueprints, Let God Build the House
Do you ever feel like everything depends on you? Providing for the family. Holding it all together. Making sure the house doesn’t fall apart—figuratively and literally. This mindset can feel noble, but it often leads to stress, anxiety, or pride. In this episode, we unpack Psalm 127 and Hebrews 3 to remind ourselves what it means to let God take the lead. He is the true Builder, and when we try to take that role from Him, we end up carrying a load we were never designed to bear. Through personal stories, biblical reflection, and some real talk around identity and control, we invite you to consider a better way. One marked by prayer, dependence, and freedom that comes from trusting God with both your work and your home. Let the peace of handing over the reigns wash over you this week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 211: Sammy Perez On Fatherhood After Failure
Ever feel like your past is holding you back as a dad? You’re not alone—and you’re not disqualified. This week, we sit down with a very special guest and new friend of the show, Sammy Perez. He's a husband, father of four, and national voice for second chances through his work at Prison Fellowship. Sammy’s story is raw and real. From time behind bars to meeting Jesus in a prison cell and even finding his own father figure, his testimony will move you, but what God has done in his life since then and the work that has been done in his family is where the real story begins. We talk about: What it means to father with grace instead of guilt Why humility is a dad’s greatest strength Breaking generational cycles (even if you were never shown how) The kind of legacy Jesus can build from failure Whether you grew up with the wrong role models—or none at all—this episode is a hope-filled reminder that it’s never too late to begin again. Whenever you feel like life is running you over and it seems impossible that God could use you any more, soak in this reminder from Sammy: "I was created for more than this." This one is for the dad who feels disqualified. God’s not done with you, even if there are times you might feel like you're done with him.

Ep. 210: Aaron Harvie On Closeness with God
today's episode, we have the pleasure of talking with pastor Aaron Harvie. Aaron is the senior pastor at Highview Baptist Church in Louisville, KY. Prior to his role there, he served as a Church Planting Mobilizer with the North American Mission Board and taught at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has an extensive background in pastoring and planting churches in Kentucky and Philadelphia. Aaron and Allison have 5 children: John, Grace, Luke, Porter, and Claire. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Ouachita Baptist University in 1995 and a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1998. Needless to say, Aaron's a sharp dude. Not only that, he's a gold mine for dads who want to better disciple their kids. We get into some of his personal testimony, the importance of a close relationship with God's word, what it really means to "measure up" as a dad, and much more. You don't want to miss this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 209: How To Look for the Overlooked

Ep. 209: How To Look for the Overlooked
It started as a simple family phrase: "Look for the overlooked." However, Lawson's daughter Olivia flipped this on its head, encouraging her students to ask if maybe one of the people you're overlooking is yourself—or even a version of yourself you've neglected for too long. In this episode, we unpack what it means to notice the unseen, and not just in the people around us, but in the parts of ourselves we’ve pushed aside. What have we neglected in the name of productivity? What’s been quietly waiting for us to slow down, breathe, and listen? Turns out, Jesus was in the business of seeing the overlooked—from the woman at the well to the leper no one would touch. And if we want to follow His lead as dads, it might mean noticing the quiet parts of our own soul that need care, rest, and reconnection with the Father. This one’s part biblical reflection, part personal confession, and part reminder that even (especially?) the busiest dad needs to hit pause and pay attention to the ones that no one else will. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 208: What's the ONE Word?
Faithful. Gentle. Loving. Godly. Patient. These are the kinds of words we hope our kids would use to describe us. But if they were being totally honest, what’s the one word they'd actually write down? Would it be something we’re proud of—or something that hits a little too close to home, like angry, stressed, or even absent? In this episode, Kent and Lawson walk through a simple but eye-opening exercise that reveals how our day-to-day choices as dads shape how our kids experience us. The good news? Whatever word they might choose today, it’s doesn't have to be the final word. With time, intentionality, and God’s help, we can grow into the kind of fathers who reflect the heart of Christ in our homes. There’s no guilt trip here—just a real opportunity to reflect, reset, and grow. So whether you walk away from this conversation feeling encouraged or convicted, lean in. You are not a father on accident. So go be a father on purpose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 207: Becoming A Curious Father With Mark Batterson
In today's episode, we have the privilege of sharing our conversation with pastor and author Mark Batterson. Mark Batterson serves as lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, DC. He holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Regent University and is the author of 24 books including the New York Times bestselling The Circle Maker as well as In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, and, most recently, A Million Little Miracles. As Mark likes to say, "There's only 2 ways to live your life - as if nothing is a miracle, or as if everything is." His advice to dads is pretty straightforward: love your family as God has loved you. While this is simple, that doesn't mean it's easy. We get into some practical ways to love our kids as our Father has loved us. "How are your kids going to learn to say sorry if they don't hear it from you?" "We have to help our kids cultivate holy, non-anxious curiosity." "You can't force feed your kids Scripture...but you can live it." "We create the world our kids live in through our words." These are just some of the nuggets of wisdom from today's episode with Mark. We hope this conversation is encouraging, enlightening, and inspires you to go forth as a dad with refreshed love and kindness towards your kids.

Ep. 205: Helping Our Kids See Around Corners
Ever tried to warn your kids about something and had them roll their eyes so hard it echoed? As dads, we’ve been down some rough roads—and part of our job is helping our kids avoid the same potholes. But how we offer that wisdom can make all the difference. Come on too strong and we sound like a lecture. Stay too quiet and we miss a chance to guide them. If you want to be heard and influential with your kids, this one's for you. In today's episode, Kent and Lawson dive into how to offer wise counsel that connects, using Solomon’s masterclass in Proverbs 7 as a guide. They tackle questions like: How do we talk about modern dangers—porn, fame, vanity, etc.—without sounding like we’re yelling from a mountaintop? How do we guide with humility, not certainty? How do we root our advice in relationship, share it through story, and still make the consequences clear? At the end of the day, our kids don’t need a fortune-teller. They need a father who’s humble, present, and willing to step in, without being a know-it-all. Let's dive in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans!

Ep. 204: You Are What You Think
Ever heard the phrase, "you are what you eat?" What if we told you this: you are what you think. Not quite as catchy, but perhaps even more true. The reality is, for better or worse, we become what we behold. Our thought patterns are among the most important aspects of how we view ourselves, the world around us, our relationship to God, and everything else we go through or interact with on a daily basis. Thankfully, Scripture has a lot to say about where we should "set our minds" (Colossians 3, Romans 8, and Philippians 4, to name a few examples). Just like the dial on an FM radio, we can choose where to tune our minds, and like it or not, whatever you “tune into” most consistently becomes the soundtrack of your life, and ultimately, the shape of your character. Let's dive into what God's Word says about our thoughts, and explore some of the obvious (and sometimes not-so-obvious) ways we can honor God with where we fix our minds.

Struggling to connect and communicate well with your kids? You’re not the only one. In this episode, Kent and Lawson explore why meaningful communication isn’t just about saying the right words. It’s about aligning your heart, ears, and mouth. Drawing from Luke 6:45, they unpack how what's stored in your heart inevitably spills out in your speech—for better or worse. Today's episode will help you learn how to shift from correction to connection with your kids. If you want your words to build trust instead of barriers, this one's for you.
