Distracted Dad? 8 Tips To Be A More Present Father

Do you ever feel like you’re wearing so many hats that you end up dropping them all? 😩 As dads, we want to be everything—a good husband, a faithful provider, a present father—but it’s easy to get overwhelmed and distracted.

Today’s episode is all about breaking free from that cycle and showing up for your kids in a meaningful way. In this video, I’m sharing 8 practical ways you can be more present as a dad. These aren’t just tips I’ve read somewhere; they’re lessons I’m learning and applying in my own life. From asking better questions and documenting small moments, to creating transition rituals and putting the phone down (something I’m still working on too), we’re covering it all.

Whether you’re looking for ways to have more meaningful conversations, pray for your kids by name, or just want to break the habit of being on your phone too much—this episode is for you.

And moms, don’t tune out! 🙋‍♀️ My wife assures me these principles are just as relevant for you too. Your presence is one of the greatest gifts you can give your kids. Let’s make every moment count. 👇
