Ep. 517: How Many Summers Do You Have Left?

Ned gets raw and real about something every father needs to hear—the fleeting number of summers we get with our kids. With one child in college and others growing up fast, Ned shares the emotional shift that happens as your family dynamic changes.

He reminds us that while the to-do list will never be done, the moments we have left with our children are limited—and precious. This episode is a wake-up call to slow down, be present, and fully embrace the fatherhood role now. Whether your kids are toddlers or teenagers, this message will hit home.

About the Podcast

Fatherhood Field Notes
Fatherhood Field Notes is where we hear real stories from real men living real lives every week. Fatherhood is not only about being a dad, it incorporates providing and serving a home, loving and serving a spouse, engaging and serving in a community, as well as intentionally serving your children. Fatherhood is an adventure, one full of fun, wild, and messy stories. In this podcast, we will hear stories from real men who have found themselves living the Adventure of Fatherhood. The Craft of Fatherhood episodes are 5-10 minute episodes where your guide Ned Schaut shares stories on his own fatherhood journey.
