Good fathers chase after their lost sheep—just like our Heavenly Father does.

In this episode, Ryan Reichert and Lisa Sander sit down with Tom Pfanner, the voice behind Dads Who Lead, for a powerful conversation about fatherhood, faith, and fighting for family.

Tom shares his honest journey of parenting through pain and how he held on to God while his teenage son rebelled, how he chose to lead with love instead of control, and what it means to rebuild trust as a father. He also honors the vital role of moms and the importance of unity in the family.
