Hello there! My name is Daniel. I’m a teacher and a family man living in the Midwest. I’m also a committed follower of Jesus. I’m on a journey trying my best to learn and live out God’s design for what it means to be a great husband, father, and teacher. I’ve always considered myself a lifelong learner, but I don’t want to keep my learning to myself. I want to discuss my thoughts with others and refine my ideas through authentic dialogue. On this podcast, I invite you to join me as I have in-depth, unedited conversations with my wife, other parents, and fellow educators about how we can faithfully live life God’s way. My hope is that by listening in to these conversations, you will be able to learn something too.

38 How should fathers raise their boys to become men?
In this episode, Daniel and Schelleen discuss what makes men different from women. First, they unpack three pairings that are helpful in thinking more clearly about this topic (male-female, man-woman, masculine-feminine). Daniel highlights how the themes of "internal" and "external" consistently show up in each of these layers, and shares what it meant for him to become a man in his family. They then discuss how parents should think about raising boys to become men.
