What happens when a man trained for war faces his most brutal battle at home?

This week, we sit down with a 40-year-old Army veteran and father of two whose life was completely shattered by a divorce he never saw coming. He lost everything that defined him: his marriage, his community, and even his faith in God. It was a crisis that pushed him to the absolute edge, forcing him to question his identity, his purpose, and his will to move forward.

But this is not a story about staying broken. It's a powerful story of redemption.

In this raw and honest conversation, you will discover:

• How to navigate the crushing loss of identity and find who you are after your world changes overnight.
• The real struggle of rebuilding faith when you feel abandoned by God.
• The mindset shift required to turn from apathy and despair to building a new mission-driven life (and a successful fintech company).
• How a soldier's discipline can be the key to winning the war within and finding purpose after divorce.

If you are a man fighting to find your footing, battling a loss of faith, or searching for your new mission in life, this episode is your tactical guide. Tune in to hear how one man went from the ashes of his old life to building a blessed and purposeful new one.

Are you tired of the bumbling, incompetent "Doofus Dad" you see on TV and in movies? The one who can't make breakfast without burning it or dress the kids without Mom swooping in to save the day? This isn't just a harmless joke—it's a pervasive lie that shapes how society views fathers, and worse, how we sometimes view ourselves.

For divorced fathers, this media stereotype is especially damaging. It fuels self-doubt, creates friction in co-parenting relationships, and can make you feel like you're constantly fighting to prove your own competence. This narrative can undermine your confidence at a time when you need it most, reducing your powerful role to that of a supporting character in your own children's lives.

In this episode of Kingdom Dad Roars, we dismantle the "Doofus Dad Lie" piece by piece. You will learn:

• How to identify the subtle ways this trope shows up in media and culture.
• The direct impact this narrative has on the unique challenges faced by divorced Christian fathers.
• Three powerful, actionable steps to reject this false script and define your own authentic, strong brand of fatherhood.

It's time to stop letting Hollywood write your story. Tune in to reclaim your authority, build unshakable confidence, and start writing the legacy your children deserve. This is how you roar back.

Text battles with your ex can wreck your day, your sleep, and your relationship with your kids. In this episode of Kingdom Dad Roars, we break down why these fights spiral so fast—and how to finally take control. You’ll hear real stories from divorced dads who let one message turn into a full-blown war, only to realize the damage was bigger than the text itself.

We’ll talk about why we read way too much into texts, voicemails, and emails, and how stressing over hidden “meanings” gives your ex more power than she should have. You’ll also hear a simple but powerful mindset shift: think of texting like prompting an AI. If you don’t set the prompt, your brain defaults to bitterness and fear. But you can choose to “prompt” yourself to respond like a confident, unshakeable father who keeps the focus on the kids.

We’ll wrap with clear boundaries every co-parenting dad needs—so your phone stops running your life.

Let’s be real — many of us dads aren’t just losing our kids to video games and TikTok… we’re losing them to our own distractions. In this episode of Breaking Free: Dads, Kids, and the War on Distraction, we’re tackling the hard truth: it’s not just the kids glued to screens. It’s us.

More importantly, we’ll dig into simple, powerful strategies you can use to reclaim your focus, put the phone down, and show up as the kind of dad your kids will actually remember.

If you’ve ever caught yourself scrolling while your kids were talking, or realized the best moments of their childhood are slipping by while you’re distracted, this episode is your wake-up call. It’s time to break free and lead with presence, purpose, and strength.
