Devin Schadt, founder and executive director of Fathers of St. Joseph, joins Jason Craig to trace the wounds men carry into marriage, the spirituality of St. Joseph, and what it actually means to be a son of God the Father. Drawing on his own story—a difficult childhood, a broken early fatherhood, and a daughter's life-threatening premature birth that cracked everything open—Devin unpacks why men chase the world's validation, what it costs them, and how God the Father offers something far better. This is an hour for any man still trying to earn what he can only receive.
In This Episode, We Cover:
How to recognize the Six P's of the world's path (prestige, prominence, power, profit, possessions, pleasure) and stop letting worldly validation drive your identity as a husband and father
Why the wounds from your own father don't have to define your fatherhood—and what it looks like when a man finally lets God the Father in
The one thing every son needs his father to initiate—and how to make sure your boys aren't still searching for it at 40
The difference between servile faith and filial faith, and why moving from slave to son is the hinge point of a man's entire spiritual life
The Four P's of God's testing (pain, personal poverty, patience, perseverance) and how to stop running from suffering and start letting it make you the father your family needs
