Your children
are watching.
Do you know what
to do next?
A practical formation framework for Christian dads who want to raise capable, faithful children — not just hope they turn out right.
Most Christian dads want to raise
godly children. Very few have a plan.
Not because they don’t care. Because nobody gave them one. Screen time fills the gap. The window closes. You look up and they’re 18.
The Window Closes Fast
You have roughly 936 Sundays with your child before they leave. Most dads don’t realize this until well over half are gone.
Screen Time Fills the Gap
When there’s no intentional formation plan, passive is the default. The culture fills the void — and it isn’t neutral.
Nobody Gave You a Roadmap
Church gives theology. School gives academics. Nobody gives dads a week-by-week guide to building a capable, faithful person.
The Relationship Drifts
Without shared challenge and intentional time, dad becomes background noise. The teenage years hit and you’re strangers.
This is what formation
actually looks like.
For 15 years I ran CrossFit For Glory — coaching athletes, developing coaches, and learning what it actually takes to build a capable person over time.
The same principles that turn athletes into competitors turn boys into men and girls into women. It’s not motivation. It’s a system.
This week my 14-year-old son Jesse and I are replacing our pool pump. When we’re done, pool maintenance is his. That’s not a chore. That’s formation.
I built For Glory to give dads the framework I wish I’d had from day one — not a parenting course, but a system for building a capable, faithful person, one challenge at a time.
Three things.
A lifetime of formation.
Every challenge, every experience, every conversation maps back to one of three anchors. Simple enough to remember. Deep enough to last a lifetime.
Knows who they belong to. Leads from conviction, not performance. Anchored — not swayed by what the world says they should be.
Protects, provides, and serves the people God gave them — starting at home. Understands that the family is the first institution to steward.
Works hard. Builds things. Earns. Leaves the world better than they found it. Connects effort to meaning — not just income.
Join before the doors close.
20 spots. That’s it.
Founding Fathers
Every week: one challenge — a specific, real-world thing to do with your child. Not homework. Not a podcast to listen to. A thing to do together.
Conversation guide. Scripture reference. Reflection prompt. Delivered to your inbox every week.
No app. No Zoom calls. No community forum. Just you and your kid, in the real world, doing things that matter.

A framework that
outlives both of you.
Founding Fathers aren’t buying a cohort. They’re getting in at the beginning of something built to pass from one generation to the next.
The Formation Kit
Father’s Field Guide, Son’s/Daughter’s Ledger, forged coins, challenge cards. An heirloom-quality physical system for the home.
Quarterly Mission Boxes
New challenges and tools delivered to your door each season. Tangible, designed for doing — not reading.
Father-Child Experiences
In-person events built around real skill and real relationship. Because screens can’t replace presence — and presence can’t be mailed.
A Legacy System
Books, speaking, and a framework designed to be handed down. Something worth leaving behind — not just a savings account.
Start free.
Or go all in.
Your first challenge costs nothing. A Founding Fathers spot is $397 and gets you everything — including the physical kit when it ships.
