Who Is in Charge? : A Father's Drawing About Faith, Family, Failure and What Matters Most
Overview
One sheet of paper. One question at the bottom: Who is in charge?
When a father handed his grown son a hand-drawn page of priorities, with God at the top, then family, then work, money, and ambition below, the son, a physician, athlete, Army officer, fight-side doctor, performer, and father of four, couldn't stop looking at it. He had been busy. He had been capable. And he had been overcommitted, unfinished, and tired in ways that achievement doesn't fix.
Who Is in Charge? is a Christian memoir of family, faith, failure, and service. It moves from a Wisconsin gym where Dad coached to a relief mission in Nepal after the earthquake. It follows wrestling mats, BMX tracks, harp recitals, and ringside medicine. It also covers hard seasons in medicine and the body, and the slow work of becoming faithful in ordinary things.
Each chapter returns to one part of Dad's drawing and opens it with Scripture and honest stories:
Who really holds first place in your life
Keeping your word, and letting your yes have weight
Bringing unfinished obligations into the light
Making room by letting go
Receiving help with humility
Loving people when relationships are hard
Grace for an unfinished life, and why it is not too late
Written for fathers, sons, and anyone who has felt the gap between who they are and who they meant to be, this book offers no checklist and no polish. It offers a father's page, a son's honesty, and a way back to what matters most.
Includes a weekly reflection and prayers for the next generation.
