Being a dad isn't easy and we often feel alone. This is why we launched Dads on Tap to provide a place for dads to hang out with other dads in a laid-back environment, have a great beer and learn some practical ways to become a better dad. On the DOT Podcast you'll hear real stories from real dads aimed at helping you be a better Dad.

The Quiet Weight of Shame

In this episode, we explore the quiet weight of shame that many men carry but rarely talk about. While guilt tells us we made a mistake, shame whispers that something is wrong with us — pushing men into hiding, performance, or numbing behaviors to protect their image. Drawing from the story of Genesis and the hope of the gospel, Scott explains how shame isolates us from God and others, and why bringing our struggles into the light is the first step toward healing. For dads especially, learning to face shame with honesty and humility can transform not only our own lives but also the culture of our homes.

Are You Afraid to Fail?

In this episode, Scott tackles the fear of failure and why it hits men so deeply. When our identity is tied to competence and performance, even small mistakes can feel like personal collapse — driving defensiveness, withdrawal, overworking, or escape. But failure was never meant to define us; it can form us. Drawing from Scripture and everyday fatherhood, Scott reframes failure as an opportunity for growth, humility, and restoration, reminding dads that their worth isn’t settled by their last success or mistake — and that how they recover from failure may be one of the most powerful lessons they ever teach their kids.

Is Conflict the Enemy?

In this episode, Scott explores a belief many men quietly carry: that conflict is dangerous. Whether shaped by childhood experiences or other past wounds, the fear often drives us to avoid hard conversations, withdraw emotionally, or overperform to keep the peace. But avoidance slowly erodes intimacy at home and models the wrong lessons for our kids. Scott unpacks how healthy conflict — rooted in truth and love — actually builds trust, connection, and maturity, and invites dads to lead with courage instead of fear when tension rises.

The Performance Trap

In this episode, Scott explores what men often do when they don’t feel like they’re enough: we perform and we numb. We work harder, achieve more, and carry the weight of having to figure it all out — and then, exhausted, we often escape through distraction, alcohol, screens, or endless busyness. Beneath both reactions is the same quiet pressure to prove ourselves. Scott unpacks how this cycle slowly erodes connection at home and invites dads into a better way — leading from security instead of striving, choosing presence over proving.

The Haunting Question: "Am I Enough?"

In this opening episode, Scott tackles the quiet question most men carry but rarely say out loud: Am I enough? Whether it shows up in fatherhood, marriage, work, or faith, the pressure to measure up can quietly shape how we lead and live. Drawing from his own story and the wisdom of Scripture, Scott unpacks the difference between performance-based identity and God-sourced sufficiency — and why your family doesn’t need a perfect dad, but a present and faithful one. If you’ve ever wrestled with private doubt, this episode will remind you where true identity is actually found.

What I Learned in Prison

In this episode, Scott shares what he learned during a recent visit to two prisons in Mississippi—and how those lessons apply far beyond prison walls. Reflecting on unwanted seasons, desperate places, and unexpected responsibilities, he explores how God often does His deepest work in the very places we wish we could escape. Through Scripture, personal stories, and honest reflection, this conversation invites dads and leaders to see their current season not as a setback, but as a place of formation, purpose, and mission—even when it’s not where they planned to be.

How to Rebuild After Mistakes - Learning from Abraham

We don't always make wise choices as dads. In fact, sometimes we make big mistakes that can lead to a lot of heartache and pain for ourselves and our families. In this episode, Scott leads us through a story in the life of Abraham in Genesis 21 that teaches us how to rebuild after our mistakes, even when there's seems to be pain in every direction and no good answers for how to move forward.

Don't Be Selfish - Genesis 19 - Lot's Story

In this episode of the Dad's on Tap Podcast, Scott unpacks the story of Lot in Genesis 19 and how selfish decisions can quietly sabotage a family. Through Lot’s failures, we’re reminded that the small choices we make every day—where we live, what we value, how we lead—shape our families for years to come. Scott challenges dads to trade self-interest for sacrifice, to prioritize presence over pride, and to lead their families with courage, faith, and integrity.
