Fatherhood changes everything, especially our expectations.

Many dads step into parenting with ambition, personal standards, and a vision for what excellence looks like, only to feel frustrated when they cannot seem to measure up once children enter the picture.

In this episode, we revisit expectations and why so many fathers quietly wrestle with feeling like they are falling short.

Looking at Luke 14 and the principle of counting the cost, we talk about what it means to see the full scope of fatherhood. This includes not only the daily responsibilities, but also the long term calling of raising and discipling children.

You will hear:

• Why unrealistic expectations create frustration
• The shift from individual success to family leadership
• How fatherhood reshapes priorities and convenience
• Why you do not have to win every daily battle
• The importance of seeing the long term vision for your children

If you have ever felt overwhelmed, behind, or inadequate as a dad, this conversation will help you reframe your expectations and lead your family with clarity and patience.
