In this episode of Church Dads, Mark and Luke unpack one of the biggest threats to modern fatherhood: distraction. From constant busyness to cultural pressure, they explore how easily men drift from what matters most—faith, family, and calling.

Drawing from Matthew 6:19–34, insights from Tim Tebow, and real-life examples, they challenge dads to redefine success from a biblical perspective. Instead of chasing “one dollar more,” they encourage listeners to pursue eternal treasure, strengthen their homes, and stay focused on God’s Kingdom above all else.

If you’ve felt overloaded, unfocused, or pulled in every direction, this conversation will help you refocus, realign, and lead with greater clarity and purpose.

Welcome to Church Dads! In this first episode, we're introducing you to who we are, who we serve, and what we’re committed to achieving with the show.

This is the podcast for every father ready to lead and reclaim his role as the spiritual leader of his home. We're redefining what success truly means in a busy and distracted world by shifting our focus to an eternal perspective, recognizing that biblical fatherhood banks eternal returns.

Our purpose is driven by one singular mandate: we exist to raise up biblical fathers, strengthen families, activate the Church, and transform communities.

Our mission is to equip, encourage, and mobilize dads to lead intentionally and biblically within our family, church, and community. Our ultimate vision is to see fathers rediscover biblical fatherhood to revitalize the very fabric of our society.

What is a Church Dad? He is the man who acts on his mandate and steps up to lead. He intentionally cultivates the 7 Pillars of Biblical Fatherhood—what we call the Dad Code. He is a man who loves his family, is engaged in the local body of believers, and lives with a mission to share Christ with others and bring God glory into every part of his life.

We are here to rally with fellow dads! Join our community for practical tools, fatherhood discussions, powerful encouragement, and the challenge we all need. We're ready to lead more intentional, biblical lives to serve our families, the local body of Christ, and communities we live in.

This is Church Dads. Success. Redefined.
