Kevin Goodnight is the Founder of Dad Voted, where he helps dads and men who struggle with distraction, addiction, and uncertainty in their roles as fathers to rediscover their purpose and become devoted, intentional leaders at home and work. Through books, coaching, and ministry, Kevin’s mission is to develop fathers who are present, purposeful, and grounded in faith—so their children feel truly known, seen, and loved.

Top 5 Insights from Kevin Goodnight

• Strong fatherhood starts with strong personal identity: To be a better dad, you have to be a better man—addressing your own struggles and growth comes first.

• Establishing purposeful family routines, like sharing three meals a week together, significantly lowers risks for kids and strengthens the parent-child bond.

• Intentionality shifts everything: Simple actions, like putting away your phone when you get home and bookending your day with reflection and prayer, transform how you show up for your family.

• Dads don’t need to be perfect—they need to be present. Focusing on their child’s heart, not just their outward behavior, is essential for true mentorship and discipleship.

• Faith-infused leadership can’t be compartmentalized: Kevin’s story demonstrates that serving powerfully at home and in the marketplace often means bringing your whole, authentic self—including your faith—into every role.

John Kiriakou is a former CIA officer and renowned whistleblower who stood up for truth and human dignity, even when it put his freedom and family life on the line. He’s committed to helping conscience-driven citizens, leaders, and families who feel overwhelmed by institutional pressures—and who wrestle with the cost of living out their deepest values—find the courage to act with integrity, no matter the consequences.

Top 5 Insights from John Kiriakou

• True leadership sometimes requires sacrificing your reputation, career, and comfort to stand for what’s right—even when no one stands with you.

• Speaking up against injustice comes at a high cost: John shares how moral courage can isolate you from friends, colleagues, and even family, but reveals who your “true people” really are.

• Surviving adversity (including federal prison) demands not just resilience, but wisdom—John’s CIA background taught him skills of observation, discretion, and the importance of relying on character over brute force.

• The foundations of virtue, for John, were laid by his immigrant family’s gratitude to America and lasting principles of right and wrong—proof that strong families forge strong leaders willing to do the hard things.

• Forgiveness and faith enable healing after profound betrayal and suffering. John’s story is a living example of how enduring spiritual and moral values sustain people even when the system fails them.

Jason Shanks is the President of the National Eucharistic Congress, where he helps Catholic communities across the United States who struggle with disengagement and apathy to rediscover a living, vibrant faith centered on the Eucharist. Through bold national initiatives, Jason leads efforts to heal wounds, foster deeper reverence, and inspire a new wave of “Eucharistic missionaries” ready to bring faith from the church to the streets.

Top 5 Insights from Jason Shanks

• Pilgrimage and public Eucharistic processions have sparked surprising stories of healing, conversion, and renewed unity among families and church leaders nationwide.

• A true “revival” isn’t just intellectual; it reignites hearts, combating apathy and indifference by inviting Catholics to deeper devotion and visible reverence in daily life.

• Leadership in faith movements means humble collaboration: Jason credits a diverse team, from bishops to volunteers, for the momentum of the National Eucharistic Revival.

• Post-pandemic challenges have been transformed into opportunities for growth and renewal, prompting deeper questions about community, faith, and isolation—and fueling increased conversions among young people.

• Becoming a “Eucharistic missionary” starts with personal commitment—daily prayer, active participation at Mass, and helping others—supported by training, community, and ongoing national initiatives.
