From Boy to Patriarch: A Man’s Real Priorities

Dave Durand

In this episode, I’m talking directly to men—especially younger men—about what truly matters and how to order your life so you can build something that lasts.

I walk through the real priorities of a man’s life: getting to heaven through faith in Jesus Christ, embracing God’s plan for marriage and family, and becoming excellent in your vocation so you can lead and provide well. I also break down the stages of a man’s journey—from boyhood, to the adventurer, to the conquering provider, to the mentor, and finally the patriarch.

I share some of my own experience raising a large family while building businesses because I want young men to know you don’t have to choose between a great career and a strong family. In fact, responsibility usually makes you sharper, more focused, and more successful.

What I cover:

  • Why heaven—not comfort—is the real finish line
  • God’s design for family and why it leads to joy, not limitation
  • The six stages of a man’s growth
  • Why delaying marriage and children often backfires
  • How responsibility makes men better at everything they do

If you’re a man who wants to lead well, raise a strong family, and build a legacy that endures, this episode is for you.
