Dads, We Don’t Have as Much Time as We Think: Fatherhood, Faith, and Making Every Moment Count
Time with our kids is shorter than we realize—and once it’s gone, we can’t get it back. In this episode of the Ben Barker Fitness Podcast, I share the hard truth that hit me when my oldest son turned 10: we’re already more than halfway to 18.
We’ll talk about the myth of “tomorrow”—those moments we push off with promises like “We’ll play catch tomorrow,” “We’ll vacation next year,” or “We’ll hike in a few weeks.” The reality? Our window of influence is small, and it flies by faster than we think.
Inside this episode you’ll learn:
Why kids won’t always want shoulder rides, bedtime stories, or backyard catch.
Practical ways dads can be intentional daily—like saying yes more often, stacking habits, and putting faith first.
How fitness parallels fatherhood: missing moments compounds into regret, just like missing workouts compounds into weakness.
Simple weekly challenges to prioritize quality time, build memories, and lead your family well.
👉 If you’re a dad who wants to grow stronger in faith, family, and fitness, this episode is for you. Don’t wait for “someday”—make today count.
