What defines a "real" dad? Does it mean providing everything your family needs financially? Being present at sports games and school events? Kevin Hoover grappled with these questions after his 4-year-old son was diagnosed with a large tumor and kidney failure, forcing their family into the intense world of pediatric cancer treatment.
Over days, weeks, and years of walking alongside his son during chemotherapy, radiation, and more, Kevin discovered what being a true father meant to him — showing up with courage, tenderness, and authenticity. He learned to embrace vulnerability instead of silent suffering.
Now recovered, Kevin helps other dads navigate their own "midlife awakening," a pivotal transition many men face in their late 30s to 50s. Caught between fading youth and looming old age, these fathers recognize a disconnect between who they've become and how they want to show up. They sense a calling pulling them toward something new — if only they can find the conviction to take a leap.
Join Kevin and Cam as they discuss the challenges of evolving as a man and father, learning to risk comfort for fulfillment, and how to live awake in each season, not just in crisis.
"If men did that more (asking for help), I think you would find that this world is not as lonely as we perceive it to be, as dads, as men." — Kevin Hoover

What does it take to build an authentic, lasting connection with your daughter?
Being a girl dad is more than just parenting your daughter the same way you would your other kids. While we always have our daughters’ best interests at heart, they often see our words and actions from different lenses – and this is where the disconnect between dads and daughters could come from.

There’s a misconception that most women complain about submitting to their husbands. But in Scott’s experience, it’s not the submission that wives complain about — it’s the lack of leadership from their husbands.
As a pastor, a husband, and a father of 10 kids, Scott has faced many challenges, especially in terms of leading both his congregation and his family. But he has learned that leadership is not about appearing tough and asserting authority. Rather, it’s about knowing how to be gentle, when to apologize, and how to say, “I don’t know.”
When men learn what real strength and leadership are about, it becomes easier to hear God’s plans and submit to them while setting the right example for their families and the community around them.
Tune in to this episode to learn more about how men can show real strength and grow as leaders and good examples to everyone around them.

As a father of six kids, Jim has been constantly busy observing the different stages of his kids’ lives. Knowing that each child has their own personality and pace, it’s been an interesting ride discovering how to connect with them and meet them where they are at any given time.
Now that he has witnessed how his kids’ journeys corresponded with his own journey as a parent, he has found his calling to guide other parents with their own journeys with their children.

As parents, the journey to accomplish things coincides with the journey towards fulfillment. And with these two journeys working hand in hand, we can become better parents building strong connections with our kids.
Jim also covers different mindsets that parents normally have and how these mindsets can make or break their connection with their kids.

When people usher in a new year, there’s often a rush to start fresh by creating a long list of resolutions and goals. This time, we’re going to talk about one thing that people should put on top of the list of things they should not be carrying into 2024 — and that’s busyness.
As dads, there’s often a pressure to always do something, whether it’s for the family, the community, or for work. There’s too much ‘pouring out’ without realizing that there’s not much room left for ‘filling up’. This is because we’ve all gotten used to the idea of busyness.
Corrie Ten Boom says, “If the devil can’t make you sin, he’ll make you busy.” And when you’re overly busy, you’ll start missing the important things about life. Looking back at 2023, the most memorable parts weren’t the time you spent on things you kept yourself busy on. The most memorable parts were the times you spent with family and friends, or the things you truly were passionate about.
In this episode, we’re going to talk about how you can build off of the momentum from last year and start working on things that put too much busyness into your life, and replace them with actions that will lead to a significant life.
“We often get sucked into the busyness of life, and it distracts us from enjoying the little things and the more important things that are happening around us.” - Cam Hall
In This Episode:
Cam recalls moments from 2023 that could be used to kick off a new yearUnderstand the importance of removing clutter from your life as you go into 2024Learn why there should be no room for busyness in 2024Learn the importance of understanding what works for you and what doesn’t instead of following what people are saying about New Year’s resolutionsUnderstand the difference between being busy and being efficientLearn about the difference of feeling that you “have to” versus the ability to prepareThink about how big your dreams are for the new yearLearn how to leave a legacy by living a life of significance...and more!Resources mentioned:

How you are as a dad is impacted by your past. You either raise your kids the same way your parents raised you, or you intentionally change your approach, aiming to avoid the pain that you personally went through.
In George’s case, he thought he had a good childhood. It wasn’t until later on that he realized how dysfunctional his family was. All the trauma led him to become an angry young man who didn’t mature emotionally and developed a lot of insecurities.
When he became a father, he realized that he needed to carve his own path as a father. He also discovered other men like him — struggling with impostor syndrome and struggling to ask for help. That’s why he started surrounding himself with the right people and became more intentional about spending his time and energy making himself a better man.
In this episode, George shares his mission of helping other men who struggle to be vulnerable. Learn about the pitfalls of isolation and the role that connecting with the right people can play in helping men heal from their past.
