    DA430 | Core Memories, Unhealed Wounds, and What It Looks Like When a Dad Does the Inner Work (Mark Odland)

    Most dads are carrying something they never dealt with... Mark Odland is a trauma therapist who works with high achieving men, and he joined us for one of the most honest conversations we've had on this show. ✅ How stuck memories quietly affect the way you parent ✅ A simple tapping technique you can use with your kids right now ✅ Why doing your inner work is one of the most important things you can do for your family SUMMARY Most dads are carrying something they never dealt with. In this episode, therapist Mark Odland explains how unprocessed memories stay stuck in the brain and quietly shape the way you parent, the way you react, and the way you show up at home. You'll also hear what trauma therapy actually is, why doing the inner work is one of the bravest things a dad can do, and how healing in one generation changes everything for the next. TAKEAWAYS When your nervous system gets overwhelmed, memories can get stored in a way that doesn't heal properly and that affects you more than you realize years later. The "butterfly hug" tapping technique is something you can use with your kids in real time to help a hard moment not become a stuck wound. Trauma therapy helps the brain do what it was already designed to do, heal itself when the right conditions are present. The cage many high achieving men live in isn't always visible from the outside. But deep down, they know something's in the way. Whatever you wish your dad had done differently with you, ask yourself if you're doing that with your kids. That question is a powerful starting point. Doing one therapy session doesn't commit you to years on a couch. It's just a first step, and first steps create momentum. GUEST Mark Odland is a licensed therapist, trauma specialist, and the founder of Lion Counseling. He's also the author of Escape the Cage. Mark and his wife have four kids and live in Duluth, Minnesota, where yes, he has surfed Lake Superior. QUOTES "As long as we have the opportunity to be connected to safety and truth, the brain can heal itself." — Mark Odland "You don't have to sign your life away. Just do one therapy appointment." — Mark Odland "Whatever invisible force is keeping you in a cage, the dad you want to be is in there." — Mark Odland "If you can't muster up the belief that you're worth it, look at a picture of your family. They are worth it." — Mark Odland "Some healing usually proceeds breakthrough. Doing some looking back before you try to propel forward." — Jeff Zaugg   LINKS  Escape the Cage by Mark Odland  https://escapethecagenow.com/ Text MOM to (651) 370-8618 // or click here DADAWESOME Book:dadawesome.org/book Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Apply to join the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word "Dad" to (651) 370-8618 Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome 7-Day Video Series: dadawesome.org/book DadAwesome Podcast: dadawesome.org/podcast Free Chapter + Intro Video Series: dadawesome.org/book

    DA429 | Loaded Guns, Unprocessed Grief, and the Dad Who Can't Regulate His Own Emotions with Seth Dahl

    "A man who can't regulate his emotions forces his wife and kids to do it for him." Seth Dahl back for a 5th conversation on DadAwesome. He breaks down what's actually happening when dad loses it and what it takes to change. ✅ Why emotional dysregulation is an identity issue, not just a temper problem ✅ The loaded gun analogy that will change how you think about anger at home ✅ Teen boundaries, the Wise Phone, and how to give freedom without losing your mind   SUMMARY A man who can't regulate his emotions forces his wife and kids to do it for him. That's the hard truth Seth Dahl drops early in this conversation, and it only gets more honest from there. This is a raw, alumni-only Zoom call that turned into something worth sharing with every dad who's ever lost it over something stupid and wondered why.   Takeaways: If you can be triggered, you're identifying with something more than your role as a dad. That's an identity issue, not just a temper issue. Unprocessed emotions don't disappear. They show up as anger, porn, checked-out dads, and kids walking on eggshells. God's model in Genesis wasn't control. It was influence with a boundary. That's the parenting theology most of us are missing. For teenagers, the online world is the living room. Know who they're talking to, just like you would if they came to your house. The Wise Phone gives kids what they need without what gets them in trouble.   GUEST:   Seth Dahl is an author, speaker, grief recovery specialist, and emotional health coach. He and his wife have three kids and have developed a deep framework around completing past emotions, processing present emotions, and shaping future ones. Seth is a longtime friend of DadAwesome and is featured in the DADAWESOME book.   LINKS Text MOM to (651) 370-8618 // or click here Emotionally Skilled Fatherhood Course with Seth Dahl (Interest Form) Wise Phone Radiant Mobile  DADAWESOME Book:dadawesome.org/book Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Apply to join the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word "Dad" to (651) 370-8618 Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome 7-Day Video Series: dadawesome.org/book DadAwesome Podcast: dadawesome.org/podcast Free Chapter + Intro Video Series: dadawesome.org/book SETH DAHL

    DA428 | What Unlocks When You Stop Grinding, Becoming the Primary Storyteller, & Parenting from Sonship (Jay Heck interviews Jeff Zaugg)

    Jay Heck of Being Sons flips the mic and digs into the DADAWESOME book with some really honest questions.   ✅ The prayer counseling session that broke a 15-year lie Jeff had been living under ✅ Why parenting from scarcity makes your voice smaller (and what changes when you don't) ✅ The black pen blue pen journaling exercise that helps you actually hear from God ✅ Three things every father can bring to their kids: proximity, placing hands on, and prayer   Get the 7-Day DADAWESOME Video Series -    SUMMARY Most dads are trying to figure out the right strategy. But what if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of tactics, it's a lie you've been believing about whether you're even loved? In this mic flip episode, Jay Heck of Being Sons turns the tables and interviews Jeff about the Dad Awesome book, and the conversation gets honest fast. You'll hear about the prayer counseling session that changed everything, what it means to set the scoreboard to infinity, and how a dad who's operating from fullness becomes the most compelling voice in the room.   TAKEAWAYS Your kids need to see you pause and point to what God has done, not just celebrate the mountaintops but name the hard stuff too. When you stop trying to earn love and start receiving it as a son, things like dancing, crying, laughing, and gentleness just start coming out of you naturally. You are not behind. Whatever season of fatherhood you are in, God is not disappointed. He's inviting you to turn toward him, not catch up. The three P's of intentional fatherhood are pursuing your kids, praying for your kids, and being present with your kids. Fathers who operate from abundance naturally draw their kids, their kids' friends, and other families in. Scarcity thinking is contagious, and so is thankfulness. GUEST Jay Heck is the founder of Being Sons, a fatherhood ministry focused on dad and daughter and dad and son adventure experiences. He hosts the Being Sons podcast and is passionate about helping men step into the father heart of God so they can lead their families well. QUOTES "Your heavenly father has set the scoreboard to infinity. You can't add to it. You can't subtract from it." "As I learned more about my identity as a loved son of God, I danced more, cried more, laughed more." "Gratefulness and fear can't live simultaneously. When we are grateful, we move toward more vision and more hope." "Fathers who operate from abundance naturally become the most compelling voice in the room." "You are not behind. God in heaven is not disappointed. He is loving this moment that you are turning." LINKS 21 Day Prayer Team - surrounding the DADAWESOME book launch.

    DA427 | Dad-Daughter Dates, Daily Prayer, and the Fireball Story That Didn't Make the Book (Jeff Zaugg)

    What do you do when your schedule is maxed out and you feel like you're failing at the very thing you preach? In this episode, Jeff gets honest about dropping the ball on dad-daughter dates, shares three raw discoveries from book launch week, and tells the story of a flaming ball of toilet paper on a frozen lake that never made it into the book — for good reason. Without a concrete accountability loop, even your highest priorities will quietly slip off the calendar. In your fullest, most pressured seasons, adding one stabilizing anchor — not removing things — might be the wisest move you make. Daily prayer with other men isn't just spiritual discipline; it's a stabilizing force that steadies you when everything else is swinging. Bringing two simple questions to a dad-daughter date can surface honest feedback and spark some of the most important conversations you'll have with your kids. Fatherhood grows through friendships and focus — those two things, compounded over years, change everything.   DADAWESOME BOOKhttps://www.dadawesome.org/book

    DA426 | DADAWESOME Book Launch, Building Systems Before the Crisis, and the Confetti Puke Story (Jeff Zaugg)

    It's LAUNCH WEEK - the DADAWESOME book is available to the world! https://www.dadawesome.org/book In today's episode, Jeff shares what actually happened on book launch day (confetti, a four-year-old, and one very close call with a pair of white shoes), reads Chapter 18 of DADAWESOME live, and honors the grandpa whose legacy made this whole thing possible. ✅ The upstream generational moves Jeff's grandpa made that are still changing lives today ✅ The Crashing Cabinet — a chapter about the $2 wall strap that changes how you think about fatherhood systems ✅ Why your family needs a free dad, not a perfect one SUMMARY: The Christmas card version of fatherhood isn't real life — and Jeff Zaugg isn't pretending otherwise. In this book launch episode, Jeff reads Chapter 18 of the DADAWESOME book, shares the upstream legacy moves his grandpa made that are still bearing fruit today, and tells the story of what actually happened on launch day (hint: it involved confetti, a four-year-old, and a pair of white shoes that almost didn't survive). TAKEAWAYS: Thinking generationally means asking what moves you make today will still be bearing fruit with your grandkids and great-grandkids. Small, preventative systems — like a $2 wall strap — protect your family before the pressure hits, not after the crash. Your inadequacies as a father create space for God's strength to work through you, not around you. Unresolved pain is like hidden glass — sharp, waiting, and causing damage until it's fully addressed. Your family doesn't need a perfect dad. They need a free one. GUEST Jeff Zaugg is the founder of DadAwesome, host of the DadAwesome Podcast (400+ episodes, 8+ years), and author of the newly released book DADAWESOME. He and his wife have four daughters and are based in Northeast, Florida.   QUOTES "Your family doesn't need a perfect dad. They need a free one." "Small choices prevent big disasters. Asking for help before the crash is wisdom, not weakness." "Unresolved pain is like hidden glass — sharp, waiting, cutting us when we least expect it." "Our inadequacies as fathers create space for God's power to work through us." "Brotherhood isn't a luxury for fathers who have margin. It's oxygen for fathers who are drowning."   Links: 21 Day Prayer Team - surrounding the DADAWESOME book launch.

    DA425 | Steward Their Speed, The Battle for Your Head, and Fathering from Strength Not Wounds (Tim Timberlake) PART 2

    🗣️ "Every king who takes over a territory changes the language first — because language determines culture." Pastor Tim Timberlake is back for Part 2, and it does NOT disappoint. In today's episode, you'll hear: ✅ Why the words you speak are literally shaping your child's world ✅ How to steward your kids' speed in a culture moving way too fast ✅ The powerful truth about grief — you won't get over it, but you will remember more ✅ Why you can't lead your kids somewhere you've never been Don't father from your wounds. Father from your scars.   Join the 21-Day PRAYER TEAM (surrounding the book launch) WATCH the DADAWESOME book Trailer >>  GET THE DADAWESOME BOOK >>  SUMMARY: Every king who takes over a territory changes the language first — because language shapes culture. In Part 2 of this conversation with Pastor Tim Timberlake, you'll hear why the words you speak over your kids are literally forming their world. Plus, Tim gets real about grief, the little deaths that come with every new season of your child's life, and why the only way to be a great father is to remain a son of God first.   TAKEAWAYS Language shapes culture — what you speak over your kids is forming their world, for better or worse. Boundaries aren't restrictions; they're what make the game worth playing. Your kids thrive within them. You won't "get over" the loss of a loved one, but you will grow stronger — and you'll remember more, not less. Every new season of your child's life requires mourning who they were so you can fully enjoy who they are. Don't father from your wounds. Father from your scars.   GUEST Tim Timberlake is the lead pastor of Celebration Church, an author, and a speaker known for his passionate, scripture-rooted teaching. He and his wife, Jen, have a son, Max.

    DA424 | The Fool and the King, Turning Pain into Praise, and Love Times Three with Tim Timberlake (Part 1)

    🔥 Pastor Tim Timberlake lost his dad the day after his 18th birthday. 24 years later, he's STILL unpacking the treasures from their last conversation. ➡️ Why every dad has a "fool" and a "king" inside—and the one you address is the one that will respond ➡️ How to make your pain purposeful instead of letting it steal your joy ➡️ The power of TONE and why the love of a father can convict a child into becoming better   SUMMARY What does it look like to father from love instead of frustration? In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Pastor Tim Timberlake shares what it was like losing his dad the day after his 18th birthday—and how 24 years later, he's still unpacking the treasures from their final conversation. Tim opens up about how his father's tone, words, and presence shaped the man and dad he's becoming today. Plus, he reveals the simple practice that keeps him anchored in gratitude and why every dad has both a fool and a king inside—and the one you address is the one that will respond. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week. TAKEAWAYS Legacy is not what you leave for your children—it's what you leave in them. Frame it with your words and your presence. Every dad has both a fool and a king inside, and the one you address in your kids is the one that will respond. Don't just turn your head toward your kids—turn your heart. Be where your feet are and be relational, not just transactional. Pain will produce fruit if you stay in it long enough. Make it purposeful and turn it back into praise before it becomes pride. If you don't plan your celebrations, your defeats will plan themselves. Collect moments, not things. QUOTES 1. "Legacy is not what I leave for someone. It's what I leave in them." 2. "We both have a fool and a king in us, and the one you address is the one that will respond." 3. "If I don't plan my celebrations, my defeats will plan themselves." 4. "Every word is like a thousand pound weight. Be mindful of where you place it." 5. "The love of my father would convict me into wanting to become better."

    DA423 | A Miracle in a Jail Cell, Death to Life at Death Beach, and Why Getting Uncomfortable Reveals God's Love (Jeff Zaugg)

    🇸🇻 What happens when a man in a jail cell starts screaming curses — and then worship begins? In this powerful solo episode, Jeff shares the miraculous story of what God did inside a county jail in El Salvador during a recent mission trip with fathers and sons. You'll hear: ➡️ How worship flipped an environment from darkness to God's peace in an instant ➡️ Why getting uncomfortable reveals where God wants to bring healing ➡️ The beloved story Jeff shared with inmates that brought men and women to tears INVITES: Support JEFF'S FUNDRAISER - Team DADAWESOME 6-Mile SPARTAN event ($25 or $250) Join the ACCELERATOR - Six Week coaching cohort SUMMARY: What happens when you step into a dark, crowded jail hallway in El Salvador and a man starts screaming curses at you in English? In this raw solo episode, Jeff shares the miraculous story of what God did on a mission trip over his 44th birthday — and why getting uncomfortable as a dad is exactly where God wants to meet you. Plus, he reads the beloved story You Are Special by Max Lucado and shares why it changed everything inside that jail cell.   TAKEAWAYS Worship often precedes breakthrough. When darkness and resistance filled that jail hallway, it was worship that flipped the entire environment from hostility to God's peace. Getting outside your comfort zone reveals places in your heart where God wants to bring healing — you can't grow staying in the comfort loop. The marks the world gives you — and the marks you give yourself — don't have to stick. What matters is what your Maker thinks of you. Teenage young men who dream about being dads and starting families are growing up in homes where fatherhood is cast as a vision worth pursuing. You are special because God made you, and He doesn't make mistakes. That truth changes everything — for you and for your kids.   Top 5 Quotes "Worship released peace. Worship flipped the environment of that space. It radically shifted things — worship." "Getting uncomfortable going, serving — getting to new places often reveals new places of our hearts." "We can stay in a comfort loop and continue to stay comfortable — or we can go." "I'm dreaming about being a dad, starting a family. I loved hearing that answer from teenage young men." "The marks from the world don't have to stick. Walk in freedom and know your true identity."   GUEST This is a solo episode with Jeff Zaugg, founder and executive director of DadAwesome. Jeff shares from a recent mission trip to El Salvador where he traveled with a group of fathers and teenage sons, served alongside the ministry of Jonathan Ferrant, and witnessed a miraculous encounter in a county jail in La Libertad.   LINKS DADAWESOME Book:dadawesome.org/book Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Apply to join the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word "Dad" to (651) 370-8618 Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Donate $25 to support Team DadAwesome's activation event:  You Are Special by Max Lucado BraveCo — Father & Son Rite of Passage Events   Jonathan Ferrant / El Salvador Mission Project E15 Ministry (El Salvador)
