Gym Anxiety? Why Trail Running is the Best Fitness Alternative

Trying to be the best Dad for kids!

Fatherhood can be one of the most rewarding journeys, but it can also feel incredibly lonely and overwhelming. In this episode of Gaining Momentum, I open up about my own struggles as a father—times when I didn’t feel like a source of strength for my kids, even though I saw my own dad as a rock of support. But here’s the truth that changed everything for me: God knew you before you were born (Jeremiah 1:5). You were created with a purpose, and even in moments of doubt, you’re stronger than you think. 🌿 In this episode, we’ll dive into: • How to overcome feelings of inadequacy as a dad • Finding strength through faith and scripture • Understanding that your presence matters more than your perfection • Why God’s plan for you as a father is bigger than your doubts • Encouraging reminders that you’re not walking this journey alone If you’re feeling unseen, overwhelmed, or like you’re falling short—this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to rediscover your purpose and become the strong, loving dad your children already believe you are. 💪
