✅ The power of resisting passivity and taking proactive action

✅ FREE resources that will strengthen your family today

SUMMARY:

Your kids are going to learn about sex from somewhere—will it be from you or from the world? In this episode, Dave Willis returns with game-changing resources for dads who want to lead intentional, shame-free conversations about sex with their kids. Plus, he shares powerful insights on strengthening your marriage through simple shifts that create deeper connection. This conversation will equip you to resist passivity and take proactive action in the areas that matter most.

TAKEAWAYS

  • Resist passivity and take the lead in having ongoing, shame-free conversations with your kids about sex and God's design for their bodies.
  • Your marriage is one of the first gifts you give to your children—they learn what relationships should look like by watching yours.
  • Fun is fuel for your marriage—without laughter and playfulness, everything else begins to collapse.
  • The mind feasts on what it focuses on—intentionally focus on God's plan for your family and flourishing will follow.
  • Being proactive as a husband and father isn't domineering—it's loving leadership that your wife finds attractive.
  • Create a team around your growth—invite other dads and couples to join you on the journey toward intentional parenting and thriving marriage.

QUOTES

  1. "Your wives find being proactive in you very sexy. Women, by God's design, are attracted to a husband who takes action."
  2. "Fun is fuel. If your marriage feels like it's on empty, it's because you've put fun on the back burner. Laughter isn't frivolous—it's vital."
  3. "If we don't teach our kids about sex, the world's gonna do it for us and the world's gonna teach them the wrong messages."
  4. "The mind feasts on what it focuses on. Focus on God's plan for your family and the flourishing will follow."
  5. "Resist passivity. God hasn't called us to be passive. There are times to be still and patient, but never passive."
