God doesn’t want us to cope. He wants us to lead. Start here.
We are using substitutes as crutches for what we’ve lost: a baseline expectation of healthy masculinity. We no longer have mentors to model it for us from boyhood. We no longer have a culture that calls us to it. Absent encouragement—with our nature even demonized—we seek dopamine hits to cope with the stress of life and downward spirals of guilt and shame.
This is where Fathers for Fathers is gathering men together to begin renewing themselves and each other. This is no ‘calling out’. This is a calling-up.

Fathers For Fathers
On episode 28 of the Fathers for Fathers podcast with host Jonathan Lewis, former NFL quarterback Jeff Kemp confronts men with something they’ve let slide: to make it a priority to have a huddle of men in life who keep you accountable. As Kemp describes, there’s no more powerful company than another man who says, “You too? I thought it was only me.” Choosing and nurturing honest friendships, says Kemp, is how fathers, sons, and friends begin to rebuild, forgive, and reach their full potential.
Jeff Kemp is a former NFL quarterback who played 11 seasons for the Rams, 49ers, Seahawks, and Eagles. Today he’s a Soul Coach to CEOs and Fatherhood Ambassador for The Fatherhood CoMission. He leads MEN HUDDLE & CORE 3 COACHING to equip men to live from their identity as sons of God and build deep, life-giving friendships. He’s authored Receive: The Way of Jesus for Men, Facing the Blitz, & The Level 5 Friendship Playbook. Jeff and his wife Stacy speak at FamilyLife marriage getaways and enjoy life with their four married sons and nine grandchildren.

Fathers For Fathers
Through his own journey from rule-follower to religious performer to exhausted servant to genuine surrender, speaker, author, and CEO John Davenport traces the phases of faith that most believers move through without ever realizing it.
John inspires us about fatherhood, resilience, and the source—the analogy of his book, The River Principle: Trading Self-Reliance For the Only Source That Never Runs Dry.
He tells the story of the decade that nearly broke him: parents gone, wife devastated by late-stage Lyme disease, business collapsing, son homeless and addicted, everything he had built stripped away at once. And he shows, with unflinching honesty, how the River Principle held when nothing else could.
Intro clips credit to the wonderful Gospel Patrons and their documentary, The Supply Line featuring John Davenport.
