As kids, we all loved Batman, Superman, and Spiderman. Seeing heroes don their cape and stop the bad guys was fun and exciting. Now, we’re all grown up and we’ve become the heroes we adored. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about what it means to protect our families.

Don’t worry about the cape thing. You don’t need it to guard your family. It’s more than just preventing physical harm. Being a protector is multi-layered, and dads everywhere must embrace that role.

Why This Matters
Your kids can’t protect themselves yet. You get to be their hero when you embrace the role of protector.
