Episode Summary

In this episode, we are blessed to have Chad Gaffney, founder of Trench war wear. Chad is here to help us navigate the topic of fatherhood. He’s a father of 6, five girls and one boy. We will talk about the mindset you have to have to be a father. We must first recognize that being a father is not a job or career but a calling from God. We cannot compare it to any other position in life because God has chosen us specifically for this role and has given us unique gifts and abilities to fulfill it.

So what does it mean to be a father? As a father, you have a huge responsibility. You need to be prepared to take on the task of being a good father, and you need to understand that it is not going to be easy. But if you are willing to put in the effort and do what it takes, you can make an amazing difference in your child’s life and make them into the person they will become. To be a good father, you need a certain mindset that will allow you to do everything necessary for your child. Tune in to learn more!

Key Quotes and Highlights

“The only thing I try to make sure is that whatever they (his kids) do, they do to the best of their ability and just trying to excel at it,” Chad.

“When you have kids you can’t put all your attention into one kid because the other one is going to lack that attention and they gonna start feeling some type of way about it.”

You can’t raise your kids the same way cause each is different.

“Once you make that baby its no longer about you. You have to discipline yourself to make it not about you.”

“If you got a friend that’s not a good father or he doesn’t take time with his kids, or he never talks about his kids, you got to have a conversation about that. You will be doing a disservice to him if you dont step the conversation to him.”

“Growing up easy and not learning lessons mkes you a foolish adult cause now as an adult, you do stuff you don’t know better than doing.”

“You can always find an answer to what you looking for but you just got to look for it.”
