Welcome to Season 3 of Father Figures! Hosts Justin and Heath reunite to share what’s changed in their lives over the past year – and what hasn’t. Heath opens up about his intense hostile environment training course for his new role at World Vision, complete with mock hostage situations and cable-tie escape techniques. Meanwhile, Justin reflects on finally doing his graduation ceremony and the surprising power of marking life’s milestones.

Both dads discuss the ongoing challenge of work-life balance, the importance of recognising when your nervous system needs a reset, and why calling a friend during tough moments can make all the difference.

From celebrating small wins to navigating major life transitions, this episode captures the reality of fatherhood in your 40s. The guys remind us that sometimes the best part of change is simply having the courage to jump – even when you can’t see where you’ll land.

Plus, stick around for a multi-layered dad joke courtesy of Heath’s middle child that might just keep you thinking for the next 30-40 minutes.

Father Figures: Real conversations about fatherhood, faith, and finding your way through the middle-age grind.
