Ep. 493: Don’t Forget Your Youngest Kid

Ned Schaut opens up about a day that didn’t go as planned—and how that disruption became a powerful reflection on fatherhood. From dealing with work curveballs to showing up for his injured daughter and stranded son, Ned wrestles with what it means to be present, sacrificial, and flexible as a dad. Is your time more important than your spouse’s? Are you truly serving, or subtly seeking credit? Through raw honesty and reflection, Ned encourages fathers to embrace the chaos with grace and lead with quiet strength. This is an invitation to reimagine what service looks like in the everyday moments of fatherhood.
