What if trying to be the hero in your home is actually hurting your kids?
In part four of our From Overwhelmed to Intentional series, Kent and Lawson unpack a subtle but critical distinction every dad needs to understand: the difference between being an example and being a hero.
Many dads feel crushing pressure to be perfect, to have all the answers, and to never mess up. Others check out completely because they feel unqualified. Neither path leads to biblical, healthy fatherhood.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why Scripture calls dads to be examples, not saviors
How being “the hero” can quietly tether your kids’ faith to you instead of Jesus
Why humility, repentance, and presence matter more than performance
How to disciple your kids even when you don’t feel spiritually equipped
You don’t need to be flawless to lead well. You need to be faithful, present, and pointed in the right direction.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure of fatherhood, this conversation will help you breathe, recalibrate, and lead your family with confidence and clarity.

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He’s appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He’s spoken at parenting and men’s events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent’s life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.

He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men’s Ministry. Lawson’s journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he’s found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.
