Fall in Love With the Process: Faith, Fitness, Fatherhood & Marriage for Strong Dads

In this solo episode of the Fit Fathers Fellowship Podcast (formerly the Ben Barker Fitness Podcast), Ben Barker talks directly to dads about what it really takes to build strength—in the gym, in marriage, in fatherhood, and in faith.

After nearly missing his Tuesday podcast for the first time in over two years, Ben shares a powerful reminder: life doesn’t get easier—you just learn to handle hard better. Motivation isn’t the key to progress. Discipline is built in the boring reps, the early mornings, and the ordinary days that no one sees.

This episode is about falling in love with the process, even when it sucks:

Why consistency beats motivation every time

How strength and fitness are built on average workouts and showing up tired

What it really means to be a present father in the day-to-day moments

How strong marriages are built through daily sacrifice, not highlight reels

Why faith grows quietly through obedience, prayer, and trusting God in unseen seasons

If you’re a dad who wants to get incredibly strong and fit, lead your home well, love your wife deeply, and grow in your relationship with Christ—this episode is for you.

You don’t need a breakthrough.
You just need to show up again today.

Listen now, share this with another dad who needs encouragement, and fall in love with the process—because that’s where strong men are made.
