Summary

In this compelling episode of the Dad Tired podcast, Chris Hilken tackles the gritty realities of parenting in the face of life's inevitable injustices. From the playground to the classroom, our children are bound to face situations that challenge their sense of fairness and right. But how do we, as Christian fathers, guide them through these moments? Drawing from his own experiences as a father of five and a pastor in San Diego, Chris shares stories of playground scuffles, questionable detentions, and the all-too-common unfair calls in youth sports. With humor, wisdom, and a deep dive into the teachings of Jesus, this episode is not just about navigating the unfair moments of life; it's about shaping our children into adults who can face the world with resilience, empathy, and a heart for justice. Whether it's dealing with a push on the playground or a biased referee, Chris offers practical advice and spiritual insight on turning these challenges into opportunities for growth, character building, and understanding the heart of God in the midst of life's chaos. Join us on Dad Tired as we explore the art of parenting through the unfair, the unjust, and the downright frustrating moments of raising kids in today's world.
