Shownotes

We all make plans and then fatherhood, career shifts, and responsibility change the route.

In Cars, Lightning McQueen believes speed and success define his worth. One unexpected detour lands him in Radiator Springs, where slowing down becomes the very thing that forms his heart.

In this episode of Holy Chaos on Tap, we explore how God uses detours to teach humility, presence, and a deeper understanding of vocation, especially for dads.

Inside this episode:

  1. 🛣️ Dad Fail Confessional — Nick talks about getting married, his mom passing before the wedding and being impatient at bedtime with kids
  2. 🎬 Pop Culture Dive — ambition, identity, and humility in Cars
  3. 📖 Scripture Moment (NABRE) — how God directs our steps through unexpected roads
  4. 🧉 Barstool Theology — why detours aren’t punishments, but formation
  5. 🙏 A closing prayer for dads learning to slow down and redefine success

If you’re a dad navigating a slowdown you didn’t choose; parenting, career, or life, this episode offers encouragement, perspective, and faith-centered wisdom.

🍻 Raising kids. Raising glasses. Raising faith.
