Changing the Narrative
For decades, media has represented the "dad" as a bumbling fool. We're out to change that narrative.
Featuring Real Dads and Fathering Experts
Each podcast we will share the stories of real dads dealing with real life and experts who can help fathers be better dads.
Building Community
Research has clearly shown the importance of dads in their kid's lives. Our desire is to build a community of dads committed to fulfilling that role.
While some of us have great experiences with our fathers, many of us do not. Whether it's abuse, neglect, dominance, narcissism, or something else, "father wounds" can not only impact the way we live, but the way we interact with our Heavenly Father. Learn more about processing father wounds this week on the Dad Ain't No Joke Podcast.
