Acerca de esta escucha
Becoming a dad is no small feat—it's a monumental journey that'll reshape your world. Cut the Crap: Direct Tips for Becoming a Dad is your ticket to navigating this journey with clarity, intention, and a dose of straight-talk wisdom aimed at helping you become the dad your kid will need you to be.
I won't beat around the bush or waste your time with endless details. In a world of parenting manuals that could rival War and Peace, filled with hypotheticals, this is your succinct companion. I lay out six foundational components for you to begin paying attention to and focusing on now. Inspired by the Bible, I’ve distilled a Christian perspective that's both powerful and practical. Dive into the mental shifts and preparation that'll set you on a solid path, all rooted in faith and a rock-solid foundation.
The power of concise knowledge
"Why is this book so short?" you might wonder. I get it—life is busy. As a fellow learner who cherishes concise, actionable insights, I’ve crafted this book to provide you effective guidance. In a world awash with information, it's not about the quantity, but the quality. I’m not here to diminish other valuable resources; I’m here to offer a clear road map amid the information clutter.
Build your fatherhood on solid ground
As you delve into this book, honestly assess yourself with the application questions, and make notes as you reflect—it's not just about hearing, but doing. Like a house built on rock, your journey into fatherhood can withstand storms when you act on what you learn here.
Don't let fatherhood's uncertainty overwhelm you. Start with Cut the Crap: Direct Tips for Becoming a Dad, and prepare yourself for the transformative path ahead. If you're eager for more, visit fatheringourfuture.com and tune into the podcast, Fathering Our Future. The journey begins now—let's build a legacy of purposeful, faith-filled fatherhood together.

I go through most days feeling broken and having thoughts of suicide. So, here's my book to you. I didn't write it to make a lot of money, but out of a need to survive, and to hopefully help others who hear it. It is born out of my story of living with a mental illness. I write about things in this book that made life easier, and at times, probably kept me alive.

Historia
Do you worry that you're messing up your kids? Do you get stressed when you think about their futures? New York Times best-selling author Crystal Paine knows how you feel. A mom of four, Crystal has struggled with anxiety over parenting. She wanted to parent with grace, instead of a system of rules where kids are expected to do all the right things. She wanted to be a safe place for her children, and she definitely didn't want to be remembered as the sort of mom who yelled, wounded her kids with words, or worse, cared more about her reputation than her kids' hearts.

Historia
Rachel used to be a mom who spent her days weary, anxious, and guilt laden. She had five kids in five years, lived on three different continents, and then was blindsided by a devastating health diagnosis. Neglecting her own physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional needs for so long—in an effort to be a selfless mother—had left her utterly depleted. And physically unwell. Then she began asking a question she’d never considered before: Could it be that taking good care of myself is not actually selfish, but maybe, just maybe, something a responsible adult does?

There are four characters in every story: the victim, the villain, the hero, and the guide. These four characters live inside us. If we play the victim, we’re doomed to fail. If we play the villain, we will not create genuine bonds. But if we play the hero or guide, our lives will flourish. The hard part is being self-aware enough to know which character we are playing. In this book, Donald will use his own experiences to help you recognize if the character you are currently surfacing is helping you experience a life of meaning.
