What happens when a father builds his home on generations of faith, a small family farm, and a vision for raising kids who are spiritually strong and practically wise?

In this episode, Chad—husband, father of five, and multi-generational Christian—shares how he’s building a countercultural home rooted in daily family devotions, intentional parenting, homeschooling, and entrepreneurial training. Chad walks through how his grandfather left a legacy of faith, how his family balances truth and grace in parenting, and why he’s training his kids to live life like responsible adults—by age 16.

He also dives into practical rhythms: how his family runs evening Bible time, how they plan their week, how his kids learn to run small businesses (like face painting and puppy breeding!), and why he views smartphones as a spiritual battlefield.

This is a must-listen for any father who wants to raise grounded, godly kids in a chaotic world.
