What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
I would say just getting to hear the word dad coming from my children. Reminds me of how God has bless me every time because I never thought I would be in this situation. I thought I was going to be a dead beat, low life my entire life until I overdosed and found God. Through a Miracle I survived. So I live for God everyday now. I wouldn’t trade a thing for what I have right now. I’m perfectly content being able to hear from these small people I created just say “dad”. This helps me out always
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
Because that’s what God wants from me and to love my wife as Christ loved the church. Knowing I’m following the Bible gives me a great moral compass to be and do the best I can for my children. I didn’t have a relationship with Christ when I was a teen and I did a lot of things I regret all the way until I was around 21. I don’t want my children to fall in those mistakes. So I put away my own desires, follow the Lord, and raise my children according to Gods word. I believe that’s the best I can.
How would you use the $25,000?
I would probably use some of it to pay off medical bills from our 2 month old baby who's at home on oxygen now, but had to have a NICU stay with a lot of test after birth. Then would have to spend some on a vacation with the family to the beach or Disney. And I would probably let my wife decided what to do with the rest of it if any. But would probably be invested into children’s saving or homeschooling supplies.
