Walking With Us Across Nine Years.
Ten weeks. That was the plan. Nine years ago I asked about twenty dads from my local church to try a fatherhood experiment with me. We just passed week 460, and I'm in awe. When I look back, what I feel most is gratitude. I think of the dads who said yes. I think of the friends who volunteered, prayed, and encouraged me along the way. I have never carried this alone. Our community has carried it with me. God took a small experiment and multiplied it in ways that have blown me away. And now, nine years in, our Board of Directors has more vision and more clarity than ever about where God is leading us. We are leaning in with our full hearts and praying into the future, all the way out to January 2038, when we will celebrate twenty years as a fatherhood ministry. Thanks for watching this short video and scrolling through some of the milestones we are celebrating.

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. 8.1% of the 75,000 goal by December 31, 2037.
