DadAwesome · 2026 Report
When a father's heart turns toward heaven and home, it ripples into his family, his church, and his community. Nine years, 450 weeks, and thousands of dads later — this is the story of what turned.
Nine years ago I launched a ten-week fatherhood experiment with about twenty dads in my local church. We recently passed the 450-week milestone. The ten weeks never ended, and I am constantly in awe of what God has done with it. Mostly what I feel, looking back, is gratitude — for the dads who said yes, for the friends who carried this alongside me, and for a God who took a small experiment seriously.

Numbers are hard, because it's difficult to grasp the impact of reaching a father. Instead of downloads or views, we focus on dads who completed one of our ministry offerings.
We're so thankful for the broad reach of DadAwesome — nearly 300,000 podcast downloads across nine years — but they're tough to quantify. These are the numbers we celebrate. 5.3% of the 75,000 goal by December 31, 2037.
