Intentional FatherhoodAuthor: Brook Mosser, Justin Whitmel Earley
Welcome to the Intentional Fatherhood Podcast with Brook Mosser and Justin Whitmel Earley. Fatherhood is anything but simple. It lives at the intersection of many roles husband, disciple of Jesus, provider, embodied soul, and more. And the weight of these responsibilities (and the expectations that come with them) can feel overwhelming. Thats why were here: to offer a clear biblical framework and practical habits to help you live with clarity, purpose, and intention in every aspect of your calling as a father. Season one is built around eight core tensions we feel in fatherhood. Each episode zooms in on one of those tensions, offering insight, encouragement, and doable habits you can put into practice right away. Follow along as we echo Joshuas cry in Joshua 24:15, But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

S2E8 - Lets talk about SEX! Reclaiming Intimacy Without Shame
Tuesday, 6 January, 2026
Note: This episode contains mature themes that may not be suitable for younger listeners. Please use discretion.This bonus episode tackles a topic that is central to the male experience but often left unspoken: sex. Speaking directly to married men, the conversation calls them to engage sex honestly, framing it as a spiritual, physical, and powerful dimension of their lives.Beginning with Genesis 2, the episode explores why God invented sex and placed it so prominently in the biblical story, naming it as God’s good creation — meant for procreation, beauty, and connection. From there, the conversation turns to our role as fathers, emphasizing the importance of talking openly with our kids about sex through small, ongoing conversations. For many who grew up with silence or shame around the topic, the reminder is simple: clarity is kindness, even when it feels uncomfortable.The episode then centers on three themes: intimacy, sex as sacrament, and practical wisdom for sexual connection. We outline six types of intimacy — emotional, spiritual, intellectual, experiential, commitment-based, and physical — inviting men to consider where their marriages are thriving or lacking connection. Sex is framed as sacramental, a sacred sign that communicates reassurance, identity, reconciliation, commitment, and gratitude. Practically, the episode encourages viewing sex as a practice rather than a performance, shaped by season, consistency over intensity, and mutual enjoyment. Ultimately, sex within marriage is something you give to your spouse — an ongoing act of love that grows and deepens over time.Intentional Fatherhood Retreat: February 19-21, 2026 in Costa Mesa, CAFamily Age Chart PDF DownloadScripture Mentioned: Proverbs 27:20 + Genesis 2 Book Mentioned: The Body Teaches the Soul by Justin Whitmel EarleyResource Mentioned: Birds & BeesSubmit Questions: Send a voice recording to hello@intentionalfatherhood.org, mentioning your name and where you’re from.Intentional Fatherhood WebsiteFollow @intentionalfatherhood_ on InstagramWatch + Subscribe on YouTubeIntentional: Website + InstagramJustin Whitmel Earley: Website + Instagram
