Round two with speaker/author Luke Kennedy gets raw on fatherhood, faith, leadership, and testing yourself. Luke opens up about a whirlwind two years—marriage, 50-acre homestead, and the birth of his daughter—plus the moment he stepped out of new-age spirituality and into Christianity. We unpack building a values-first marriage (no intimacy before the wedding), witnessing the power of birth, and why “you’re only as good as your last nappy change.” Luke breaks down his Running for Eternity campaign: a marathon a day for 21 days from Coolangatta to Cronulla to save a small-town church. We jam on identity shifts, ego vs intention, leading your family, and why men need rites of passage like boxing. I also share my own season—breakup, faith, getting back in the ring—and the commitment to live for your family, not just die for them.Timestamps00:00 – Introductions & life update: Round two, fatherhood, name meaning (Annaya), whirlwind two years.01:20 – Values-first dating to marriage: No intimacy before wedding; building on faith and aligned vision.06:58 – Becoming parents: Home birth, resilience, awe for his wife, lessons from labour.08:52 – Faith journey: From new age/psychedelics to Christianity; encounters, spiritual warfare, reading the Bible.16:11 – Prayer, patience & changed desires: Trusting God, family-first focus.17:03 – Early dad lessons: Protection instincts, overthinking, presence at home.19:01 – “Only as good as your last nappy change”: Complacency checks & doing hard things.22:09 – Finding the next challenge: Goggin(s), Haynes, Brockman inspiration; hip replacement excuses.24:32 – Running for Eternity: Marathon-a-day plan to fund a local church; coaching, mobility, training.25:06 – Identity shift: Moving beyond the “old story” into father, leader, community man.29:03 – Coach’s lesson: “My job is to get you to the start line” — managing injury risk.30:42 – Head noise & purpose: Guilt, ego, Christmas miles, keeping the cause bigger than self.36:05 – Nick’s marathon & first boxing fight: Process, mindset, camaraderie.40:23 – Nick’s rebuild: Breakup, journaling, childhood roots, integrity, voice, boundaries.47:02 – Masculine leadership at home: Order, protection, one-flesh vows, communication with your wife.53:09 – Faith coming back & homestead dreams: God–father–mother–kids.54:08 – Commitments: I’ll join a leg of the run; iron sharpens iron.55:49 – Are you “ready” for fatherhood?: Presence over perfection, priorities at home.59:22 – Live for your family: Not just die for them—lead by example.Follow Luke: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukeskennedy/FOLLOW ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickbetarofficial/Sponsors: Betar Media: https://www.instagram.com/betarmedia/
