Preparing to be a dad has more to do with bravely facing the deep questions of your soul than mastering the mechanics of baby care (although, that’s really important too). Fatherhood is a journey of transformation and is without a doubt a life-changing experience. If a man is courageous enough to enter into this mysterious season, he will lay the groundwork for becoming an exceptional father, a passionate husband and a wiser man. Becoming a Dad is for a new father who desires to become more invested with his child, his marriage, his life and his life story. Becoming a Dad helps men get ready for this disruptive, redemptive and transforming experience called fatherhood by inviting them to engage in the process.
