Ned is exploring how the timeless wisdom of St. Benedict, a sixth-century monk, is shaping his approach to fatherhood. He takes us through his morning routines with his son and how reading and discussing "The Rule" has opened the door to meaningful conversations about identity, purpose, and responsibility. Despite the initial pushback from his teenage son, Ned explains how patience and consistency led to a breakthrough moment where his son began connecting these ancient lessons to his own life. Ned points out the importance of understanding your children’s temperaments and nurturing connections that build trust and resilience. With a call to rebel against the conventional view of fatherhood, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to start creating a lasting impact in your children’s lives.
