Most fathers think that providing and showing up is enough… but what if it’s not?
In this episode of the Rise Up Kings Podcast, Skylar Lewis sits down with his wife Jessica Lewis for one of their most raw and emotional conversations to date. Jessica opens up about a traumatic childhood experience she kept hidden for decades, and how it shaped her view of intimacy, trust, and family based on a video Jessica watched with Skylar from Mel Robbins and Dr. Gabor Mate. You can watch the original video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tool-R8VJ2Y
Skylar reflects on what it truly means to protect your children's hearts, minds, and bodies—and where most men are silently falling short. They discuss the unseen emotional wounds so many kids carry, the role of the father in creating safety, and the dangers that arise when that space is left unguarded.
This episode is a wake-up call to every man who calls himself a father, a husband, and a leader. If your child was abused… would they tell you?
