My basic readiness checklist + Live event details

Let’s talk about readiness—not just the spiritual kind, but the kind that keeps your family safe when the unexpected happens.

Jesus wasn’t just a peaceful carpenter; remember He was fierce, capable, and able to face chaos with a steady hand and good and righteous use of power and authority. As fathers, we’re called to emulate that same balance of strength and compassion in how we protect and lead our families.

But what happens when the storm comes—literally or figuratively? A natural disaster, power outage, or even a threat at the grocery store can expose how unprepared we really are. Tactical and strategic preparedness isn’t paranoia; it’s leadership in action.

We can choose to either be apathetic, ignorant, or dismissive - or we can maintain a sound mind and prepare to care well for those we love by employing our attention, resources, and energy to be prepared for all kinds of scenarios.

This is a critical facet of what it means to be a Mission-Fit Dad.
