Episode Description from the Publisher

What do you do when you want to lead your family toward Jesus, but your own failures make you feel like a hypocrite?Jerrad sits down with pastor, author, and Family Discipleship Podcast host Adam Griffin to talk about fatherhood, spiritual leadership, and learning to start again.They discuss the dad who loses his temper in the morning and feels unqualified to pray with his kids at night, why repentance belongs in family discipleship, and how to keep showing up when growth feels painfully slow.There’s also plenty of laughter, a last-minute father-daughter concert, and a reminder that God’s goodness doesn’t change with the way he answers our prayers.If you’ve wondered whether you’re doing enough—or whether you’ve messed up too much to lead—this conversation offers encouragement and a next step.Resources:Adam’s books and Family Discipleship resourcesOur Family DevotionalShare this episode with a dad who needs encouragement to start again.
