Are you overwhelmed with fatherhood?

Being a dad isn't meant to be an absolute grind. It takes effort, yes, but fatherhood is also a natural, God-given thing. There IS a path forward, filled with principles that seem to have been lost over the decades, that make it more peaceful and effective.

Discover how small steps - pausing a movie to talk about values, launching rites of passage, reclaiming phone-free moments - actually form the backbone of consistent, intentional fathering. By learning to operate proactively (offense, not defense) and leading your wife to be consistent with consequences, you’ll begin shaping spiritual legacy one baby step at a time.

If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this conversation is your invitation: take that next small step toward becoming the captain your family needs.

Nobody tells men that our lives will shift into autopilot without us noticing. They didn’t warn us that our marriage would drift into average instead of amazing. But Christians should have the best marriages and the best sex lives. The Family Captain will show you how.
