    EP 471: Imparting Identity to your Son | Craft of Fatherhood

    Ned is exploring how the timeless wisdom of St. Benedict, a sixth-century monk, is shaping his approach to fatherhood. He takes us through his morning routines with his son and how reading and discussing "The Rule" has opened the door to meaningful conversations about identity, purpose, and responsibility.
