What Do Your Wife and Kids See? 

This week on the podcast I had the privilege of interviewing one of my great friends, and mentor Lou Zoeller! Check out the episode here.

Lou said something that has stuck with me since our conversation. He said, “It’s not just the changes I see in my life, it’s what my wife and kids see and say there is something different about him.” He shared an emotional story of when he was sitting at his kitchen table reading his Bible when his wife Melissa came up to him and gave him a kiss. “I’m proud of you,” she said. Lou was making intentional steps to be a better man, husband and father and Melissa saw the difference.

Yes the changes you see in your own life are amazing, but what’s really amazing is when your wife and kids look at you and see a difference.

 

What have you done lately to be a better man, husband and father? 

 

Maybe it’s reading your Bible every morning, praying with your wife, going on a walk with your kids, meeting regularly with a mentor. Or maybe it’s all of those! Whether you’ve been crushing it or feel like you’ve been failing, today is a new day to get better. Start building those disciplines in all areas of your life (faith, family, friends, fitness and finances) and watch the change start to happen.

If you don’t have a mentor in your life, someone to hold you accountable and encourage you, find one today.

When your wife and kids look at your life 10 years from now, what will they say?
