Antonio opens up about his childhood, his journey into the Marines, and how the birth of his daughter completely reshaped his view of fatherhood.

In this episode of Father and Friend, Tim Anderson talks with Anthony Vandagriff, father of four and host of Fathering Our Future. Together they explore how love, listening, and community shape intentional fatherhood and why being present matters more than being perfect.

What does it really mean to be a father who listens and loves well? In this conversation, Anthony Vandagriff shares his personal journey as a dad of four, reflecting on sleepless nights, lessons from his own father, and how scripture shapes his approach to parenting.

He unpacks why “God is love” should be the defining characteristic of dads, why listening builds trust and connection, and how to resist the temptation of trying to “be the dad you wish you had” instead of the dad your kids actually need.

This episode is packed with encouragement, practical wisdom, and biblical insights for dads who want to show up consistently and love their families well.
