ACTIVATING DADS TO LEAD WITH WONDER Walking with dads as they lead and love their kids toward God's awesomeness. We're on a mission to see dads fully alive and fully activated in their roles—leading with wonder to build intentional connection with their kids while experiencing God's awesomeness together. We partner with dads at every stage of the journey by providing practical fatherhood resources to catalyze connection with their kids, and also with other dads.

I've spoken about this book before around grief, but he has a metaphor of when there's something that flares up, a frustration flare up, or a heaviness, where is this coming from? He would say press into it further versus run away from it. So, instead of chasing the sunset, the sun is setting to the west. Instead of trying to stay in the sun, press into the darkness, is what his metaphor is. Press into the darkness, the areas of hurt, of heaviness, of frustration. Let's actually explore those a little bit with Jesus.<em>"</em></li> <li><em>9:45 -</em> "Palm trees roots intertangle with other palm trees roots to keep them from blowing over in a storm. They'll bend all the way over to the ground in a storm, but they won't actually snap off or die because their roots are entangled with each other. Maybe that's a promise for you guys, is as we grow brotherhood and grow friendships with other men, as we become DadAwesome by creating a community of men who are together, being that dad for their families but for each other, encouraging each other, praying for each other, holding each other accountable, that we could be rooted and established in God's love, rooted in community and in God's love."</li> </ul> <h2 dir="ltr"> </h2> <h2 dir="ltr">Links from Today’s Conversation</h2> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.dadawesome.org/blog/299">299 | Escaping Sedation, Meeting Jesus in Your Pain, and Sharing Fresh Jesus Stories (John Eldredge) </a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.goaro.com/">Aro Box</a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://a.co/d/0gQMsmFU">A Grace Disguised: How the Soul Grows through Loss by Jerry L.

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Intention is meaningless without action. This year, be the man who steps up to create a DA+3 group. It’s as simple as getting three dads to join you.

Isolation is deadly. We know this, it's so true. When we're alone, we're vulnerable. Second, dads without friendships will at some point cause deep pain to their kids. The pain of isolation and a dad being a dad that doesn't have friends looking out for them, encouraging them, challenging them to grow. You will pass on pain to your kids."</li> <li><em>16:51 -</em> "You're going to move into a simple goal, I call it DadAwesome +3, DA+3. This is how easy it is, your goal is just to get three dads, three dads to join you. It might take inviting nine to get three to show up. Guys, it takes invite, invite, invite. DA+3 is a simple goal, but it takes inviting. It takes initiative. If you want to gather guys together, you've got to be the one who goes first. You've got to send the message, you got to decide, and then you've got to go after the simple goal of DA+3.

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Dads were never meant to take on fatherhood alone. In fact, Bryan Byrd argues that isolation is against God's will for your life. Instead, you'll need to connect with others and get hungry for the Holy Spirit. In this episode, Bryan offers encouragement to help you get started. </strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <h2 dir="ltr">Key Takeaways</h2> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Connection is God's will.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Loneliness is a dangerous toxin. </li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Healing happens when you have a safe place to take your grief. </li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Get hungry for the Holy Spirit.</li> </ul> <h2 dir="ltr"> </h2> <h2 dir="ltr">Bryan Byrd</h2> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">Bryan Byrd is a husband and father to two sons from Boise, Idaho. He is passionate about equipping men to do hard things. He co-founded Wild Courage and continues to serve on the Board of Trustees. </p> <h2 dir="ltr"> </h2> <h2 dir="ltr">Key Quotes</h2> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <ul> <li><em>8:55 -</em> "I can get promoted. I can advance, and I can do it in a way that's humble. I got guys who are going to call me off the shelf, if I'm out of line. If I'm out of God's will, they're going to say, Bryan, are you doing this too much? What's going on? Are you treating your wife right? Are things good at home? There's instant accountability with all the things that are right. If you're not in a fire, a group, I would just ask, how long can you go before burnout? Before failure? I read this other day, loneliness is way more a toxin than fat, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, opioids. Loneliness is more dangerous than opioids. I'd ask the listeners, it's probably way more important than you think. If you're saying, oh, I'll do that sometime. Today matters."</li> <li><em>25:48 -</em> "When I can look at you and receive you and your pain and hear you, I say you're worthy. When I, as a sharer of my pain, feel that I'm worthy, I have hope. I'm not alone. I'm with people that care. I'm seen. And I can find hope. Jesus, would you come into this pain? Would you take a risk on me? Because these guys just did. There must be hope for me. You go from sharing grief and despair and not having hope and not being seen and being isolated to seen and loved. That can be as simple as a group. It can be simple as silence. It can be as simple as a head nod. It's probably not talking very much. It might be a little validation. It's probably not giving a sermon. It's probably not five points of advice, how to fix your problem. Don't fix. It's probably not being the the alpha in the room telling people how you solve the world's problems. Letting it sit, now a container is you get 3 or 4 guys that can do that well and practice."</li> </ul> <h2 dir="ltr"> </h2> <h2 dir="ltr">Links from Today’s Conversation</h2> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "mailto:[email protected]">Apply to join the Summer 2024 DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort: Email [email protected] to learn more </a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://forms.gle/QwyKP7k2mPvLkcubA">Save the Date for the DadAwesome Day Zoom Call: Monday, June 17 at 7pm CT</a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://beacons.ai/ironbisontraining">Iron Bison Training </a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@IronBisonTraining">Iron Bison Training Podcast</a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://youtu.be/L5xu99Ggr9g?si=lw24hdn6SIZXa5oz">WILDSONS Podcast | Receiving the Father's Love and Masculine Initiation with Bryan Byrd</a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://youtu.be/5p_tO3utRcw?si=qYPH_wBhBSuNLmjq">Foxhole Symphony - Wild Courage: Vulnerability and Victory in the Quest for Authentic Manhood</a></li> </ul> <p><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-e5df74af-7fff-99e4-f7ee-b70fd8aef33d"></strong></p> <h2 dir="ltr">Connect with dadAWESOME</h2> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://dadawesome.org/give/">Make a Donation</a> to dadAWESOME</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Join the dadAWESOME <a href= "https://bit.ly/dadawesomePRAY">Prayer Team</a></li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618</li> </ul> <p> </p>
