It’s about building consistency, feeding your faith, and learning to do the next right thing even when you’ve fallen out of rhythm.This month’s goal:10,000 steps per day.10+ verses of Scripture per day.Move your body. Feed your faith. Become a stronger husband and dad.If this episode helps you, send it to another dad who needs the challenge.
