It's hard to captain your ship when you're not training your boys to be captains themselves.

You can sort things out with your wife, but if your house is still run by disrespectful kids that you aren't training, life can't be sweet and joyful.

Thankfully, the answer is straightforward (if not easy)...

The answer is fatherhood.

In this episode, we'll break down how to raise your boys into strong men.

We discuss both ditches that dads can fall into - both passivity and being too harsh - and give a lot of ways that you can start training and leading well, wherever you are along the way.

Nobody tells men that our lives will shift into autopilot without us noticing. They didn’t warn us that our marriage would drift into average instead of amazing. But Christians should have the best marriages and the best sex lives. The Family Captain will show you how.
