DO HARD THINGS TOGETHER

You're called to more than comfortable fatherhood. Join a brotherhood of men doing hard things together.

LOOKING BACK

Six Years of Transformation

What started with 27 dads and a crazy idea became a movement that changed lives.

In 2019, we asked: "What if dads did hard things together for kids without fathers?" The answer transformed everything. Men discovered that stepping into physical challenges awakened something deeper—a brotherhood, a calling, and an understanding of the Father's heart they'd never experienced.

“One of the byproducts of challenging men to take up the needs of the fatherless and exert themselves doing something physical like this, is that it teaches you to get your eyes off of yourself. You start seeing your family differently, and you start thinking differently about your role as a dad.”
