   FTSOF 07 | Brandon Baker on Prison Visits, Family Dinners, and Breaking the Cycle for HIs Family

   thatsmydadproject.comBrandon Baker’s story is about breaking the cycle of fatherlessness and overcoming adversity.Growing up with a father who struggled with drug addiction and incarceration, Brandon had to navigate the absence of a positive male role model.His father’s presence in his life was inconsistent—weekend visits often meant playing video games alone while his dad spent time with friends. By the time he was 12, his father was imprisoned for drug trafficking, and Brandon fully understood the impact of his choices.Rather than following the same destructive path, Brandon made a conscious decision to live differently. He avoided drugs, focused on his faith, and built a successful career in IT. He also became a pastor, mentoring young men who grew up in similar situations.Becoming a father himself was a defining moment. The birth of his daughter brought a new fear: What if he became like his father? Instead of letting that fear consume him, he committed to being fully present.His journey also included reconciliation with his father, a process filled with frustration, grace, and boundaries.
