Are Groups or Intensives right for you?

Do you long to feel confident in your calling to fatherhood?  Have you been quietly searching for more clarity and understanding of your divine responsibility as a father?  What would it be like to have a long-term vision to shepherd your kids through life and initiate them into adulthood?

The Intentional Dad small groups and intensives are conversational and interactive. These are not how-to programs, i.e. 10 steps on how to be a better father.  You cannot give what you do not have. The Intentional Dad groups and intensives are designed to help you understand how God wants to father you as the foundation for how you father your children.

Groups are designed for participants to share a journey through The Intentional Dad: Embrace and Fulfill the Promise of Fatherhood. Scroll down for more information on Introductory and Advanced groups.

Intensives are One-on-one/couples/micro-group interactions built around concepts in the book and material explored in an accompanying study guide. Designed for those that want to go deep over an extended period of time in private/couples/very small group interaction or individual mentoring. For couples and individuals. Max 3 couples/individual participants. Price varies. Scroll down for information and to schedule a free consultation.
