COURAGEOUS FATHERHOOD
Being a father in today’s world takes courage.
The rules changed, the noise increased, and the margin for error feels razor thin. Courageous Fatherhood is a men-only workshop designed to help dads lead with clarity, strength, and intention in a culture that constantly pulls them off-mission.
WHAT THIS WORKSHOP IS
A practical, extension of Courageous Parenting, tailored specifically for men who want to:
Lead their homes with confidence, not confusion
Stay firm without becoming harsh
Stay connected without losing authority
Raise resilient kids while holding the line on values
WHY FATHERHOOD TAKES COURAGE NOW
Fatherhood is underdefined and overcriticized
Cultural pressure pushes passivity or extremes, rarely wisdom
Many men were never modeled healthy, engaged fathering
Kids still need structure, safety, and presence, even when culture says otherwise
WHAT WE’LL COVER
Grounded in resilience research and real-world parenting experience, we’ll focus on the core needs every child has, and the unique role fathers play in delivering them:
Guidance & Structure
Connection & Relationship
Agency & Identity
Fairness & Accountability
Safety (Physical & Psychological)
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Men-only space
Practical tools, not parenting guilt
Clear frameworks you can actually use
Straight talk about authority, empathy, and responsibility
No shaming. No grandstanding. Just skill-building for men who take fatherhood seriously.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Fathers of kids of any age
Men who want to lead their families better than they were led
Dads who feel the weight of responsibility, and want to carry it well
We will be in the Lima Library Auditorium, downstairs.
Snacks will be provided.
