In this episode, Dr. Greg Popcak dives into the first Habit of Headship: prioritize family time. He explains why this is one of the hardest habits for men, since so many of us were raised to be "human doings" instead of learning to prioritize relationship. Dr. Greg gets practical, showing how dads can put family time on the schedule first, before sports, activities, or anything else competes for it.
He shares real stories from raising his own kids and offers a clear challenge: success and a strong family life aren't opposites, but it takes intentional leadership to protect what matters most. This episode gives dads a concrete first step in living out the Liturgy of Domestic Church Life.

12 Habits of Headship
In this episode, Dr. Greg Popcak breaks down the 12 Habits of Headship: a Catholic vision for fatherhood built on the Liturgy of Domestic Church Life. Backed by research from the Symposium on Catholic Family Life and Spirituality at Notre Dame, Dr. Greg lays out what makes a family a true "domestic church," and why these habits work best when dad leads the way. Using the priest at Mass as a model, he flips the script on headship. It's not about power or control. It's about service. Dads who show up for these habits help their families encounter real grace, grow in holiness, and build a faith legacy that lasts. This episode sets the stage for the rest of the series.
