He and Jerrad talk about the temptation to rescue our kids from hard things, how anxiety often shows up differently in boys, why chores and discomfort matter, and how kids build competence by practicing coping, problem-solving, and flexibility.\nThey also talk honestly about dads doing their own healing work, how unhealed pain can spill onto our families, and why strong families begin with men who are willing to name what is going on in their own hearts.\nIf you’re a dad who wants to raise kids who can handle real life with courage, resilience, and dependence on Jesus, this conversation is for you.\nImportant Links:\nGrab a copy of David's book: Capable: Raising Resiliant Kids\nMentioned: The Anxious Generation & The Amazing Generation \nDad Tired Annual Retreat\nHost A Dad Tired Conference at your church\nJoin the FREE Family Leadership Program\nShop the Dad Tired store for best-selling gear","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dYTexbkvAH7EjY4sdrnUJpRzc4P9Vasgn9FyCcMZZxc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMjIx/YTIwZTkyNmQzYjVk/NmFkNWJhNjRmYjdl/M2VlZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
