Most dads want to protect their kids.
But what if that’s not enough?
In this episode, David Poindexter shares a powerful shift in mindset that could change how you lead your family forever: stop just protecting your kids… and start equipping them.
After 40 years of marriage, raising four daughters, and working with families for decades, David breaks down what actually builds strong, confident, faith-rooted children.
This conversation dives into:
-Why protecting your kids isn’t the ultimate goal
-How to build a family culture (not just follow a checklist)
-Practical ways to equip your kids for real life
-Breaking generational cycles and becoming the dad you never had
-The role of faith, humility, and intentional leadership in parenting
You’ll also hear simple but powerful examples—from teaching responsibility to creating lifelong connection around the table—that any parent can apply today.
If you’re a dad (or want to be one) who feels the weight of leading your family well… this episode will challenge and encourage you.
🎧 Whether you’re raising toddlers or preparing for the empty nest—this is a conversation that will stick with you.
