Our Library

Adding LIFE to the dad life.

Our library is organized around the 4-part LIFE framework to help you find what you’re looking for to lead yourself, your kids, and your home.

We can’t give what we haven’t received for ourselves. The DadAwesome life begins with an understanding that we are fully and freely loved by our Heavenly Father.
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” 1 John 3:1
Love is spelled T.I.M.E. It goes without saying that whatever we invest our time into most, has the greatest potential for return. As dads, we’re invited every day to invest relationally with our kids (wherever we are in the journey).
“Wise people are builders, they build families, businesses, communities. And through intelligence and insight their enterprises are established and endure.”Proverbs 24:3-4 (TPT)
Our capacity to love our kids will always be directly connected to the level to which we’ve dealt with our past woundings. As dads, it’s our job to honestly evaluate the things that hold us bound, and pursue freedom in Jesus.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” Hebrews 12:1
Being a dad is the opportunity of a lifetime. There are only two options: to enjoy the journey, or mismanage our time. The DadAwesome life says, “I’m all in for all of it” and “I will make sure my kids know that I cherish them.”
“For your heart will always pursue what you value as your treasure.” Matthew 6:21 (TPT)

68% of church-going men, over 50% of pastors and 76% of Christians 18-24 years* old actively search for or consume porn on a regular basis……. that is not just a big problem, it is completely unacceptable!! Pornography use is tied to a wide range of issues in men’s lives. Pornography has caused tremendous personal damage in marriages, relationships and is a driving force behind human trafficking. This needs to change. So, what is a solution?

Men are called to be protectors and providers. That is not just what men do; it is who men are. When that mandate is abandoned, sadly, men become the perpetrator rather than the protector God has called men to be.

Primal Path

A yearly discipleship program to make men out of our sons. A curriculum focused around the main shifts every teenage boy must make to transition into manhood in a healthy and powerful way. We focus on character development, theological development, as well as many other facets of what it means to be a man. And you are given everything you need as a father to feel equipped–just show up, be intentional, and we will do the rest for you!
