About This Podcast
Welcome to the Intentional Fatherhood Podcast with Brook Mosser and Justin Whitmel Earley. Fatherhood is anything but simple. It lives at the intersection of many roles — husband, disciple of Jesus, provider, embodied soul, and more. And the weight of these responsibilities (and the expectations that come with them) can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re here: to offer a clear biblical framework and practical habits to help you live with clarity, purpose, and intention in every aspect of your calling as a father. Season one is built around eight core tensions we feel in fatherhood. Each episode zooms in on one of those tensions, offering insight, encouragement, and doable habits you can put into practice right away. Follow along as we echo Joshua’s cry in Joshua 24:15, “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
