And if you’re not careful, you don’t just lose control… you lose influence. In this episode, we talk about the critical shift every father must make—from controlling behavior to shaping the heart. You’ll learn why authority is still essential, but not enough, and how trust, connection, and credibility become the foundation of lasting influence as your kids grow. Through real stories and practical moments, this episode will help you recognize when to step in, when to step back, and how to lead in a way your kids will choose to follow—long after they have to.
