ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Relatively Functional Dads is a podcast for fathers doing their best and learning every day.
Hosted by three young dads and brothers-in-law, we have honest conversations about faith, fatherhood, and real life. From sleepless nights and discipline struggles to marriage, leadership, and growing in faith at home, we talk about what it really looks like to show up as a dad.
We’re not experts—just dads figuring it out together. Some days we’ve got it together. Other days, we’re just trying to make it to bedtime.
If you’re a dad in the middle of it, you’re in the right place.
