Mission-Fit Dads exists to train high-responsibility Christian dads to carry the weight God has put on their shoulders.

We help you become strong in body, rooted in faith, and a calm, decisive leader of your household—so your wife and kids live under the protection of a man who can actually hold it all.

If you’re a husband, father, and builder who feels the weight of responsibility and you’re tired of coasting, my aim is simple: help you build a life that can carry that weight for decades.

Three Traits Every Father Must Embody

We equip you in three core areas to help you become a father who rules his domain well.

THE ATHLETE

Strength, conditioning, nutrition, sleep, and energy management.

We move you from “I work out when I can” to a 3–4x/week rhythm built for a man with a business, a wife, and kids—not a 22-year-old gym rat.

THE CONTENDER

Scripture, prayer, and spiritual disciplines that fit a real dad’s life.

You’ll build a simple, durable stack so you’re not just “fitting God in,” but living as a man actively contending for his own soul and his household.

THE COmmander

Vision, mission, and household operations for multi-generational impact.

You’ll begin building a tailored strategy, so your home becomes an effective, legacy-centered Kingdom outpost.

WHO THIS IS FOR…AND WHO IT’S NOT FOR

This is for you if:

  • You love your wife and kids, you take your faith seriously, but your energy is tanked by the time you get home.

  • You’ve started more workout plans, diets, and Bible plans than you can count, and you’re tired of falling off every time life gets busy.

  • You’re not as strong, fit, and healthy as you know you should be.

  • You’re a great provider, carry a lot of responsibility, and yet your kids mostly see a tired, distracted version of you.

  • You’re ‘theologically committed’, but your daily habits don’t match what you say you believe—especially around stewarding your body, teaching the Word, prayer, and leading your home.

  • You’re quietly worried that if nothing changes, your kids will remember you as stressed, scattered, and always “half-there.”

  • You want a strong body, predictable energy, and sound spiritual leadership without stepping back at work or selling your soul to hustle culture.

  • You’re willing to be honest, do the work, and play the long game, but you need clarity and a cohesive plan.

Who This Is Not For:

This is not for everyone.

It’s probably not for you if:

  • You don’t view physical health as a core part of faithfulness unto the Lord.

  • You’re a casual or cultural Christian who isn’t really interested in repentance, holiness, or building a distinctly Christian home.

  • You care more about abs and deadlifts than about your kids’ hearts and your wife’s sense of safety.

  • You want a quick life hack or 30-day shred more than a reforming of your life and habits over the long game.

  • You’re looking for a place to complain about your family instead of taking responsibility for your leadership.

  • You think your faith should stay private and never really show up in how you order your household or talk about life.

OUR ORIGIN STORY

Hey brother, I’m Chris, husband to Justine for 14 years and father of 5 (soon to be 6). Before any of this existed, I spent my twenties as a U.S. Army Ranger in the 75th Ranger Regiment with four combat deployments, then moved into fitness coaching and venture-backed SaaS startups. That’s also when I first became a dad—and I ran headfirst into the hard truth that all the “average” frameworks (workout plans, apps, Bible plans, productivity systems) simply didn’t work for a man who was carrying substantial responsibility, devoted to Christ and his family, had a multi-generational vision for legacy, and was trying to stay genuinely strong and healthy.

If I was going to be fit, faithful, and present, I needed a completely different approach—one integrated system, not a pile of separate pathways. So I built it for myself first. When it held up under real-life, like Startup stress, little kids, travel, and late nights, I started teaching it to other men. Since then, more than 2,000 dads have used these frameworks designed specifically for busy, high-responsibility fathers. The Fatherhood Strength Assessment and the rhythms we practice in community are simply the distilled version of what I needed as a Ranger-turned-founder-turned-father who refused to accept that dropping the ball in any of my responsibilities was OK.

The Daily 15: The Keystone Habit

Before we do anything else, every community member and client starts with The Daily 15—a simple 15-minute morning rhythm that anchors your body, soul, and focus so the rest of your day stops feeling reactive and scattered. It’s the keystone habit I’ve seen unlock change for hundreds of busy Christian dads.

I wrote a book about it, The Daily 15, which became a #1 Amazon bestseller because it’s a short 60 pages and hyper-practical. Fifteen minutes, done every day, compounds into a different man over time.

Two ways to get the book:

  • If you just want to jump straight in, you can grab the paperback or Kindle on Amazon.

  • If you’d like a FREE copy of the book plus a custom 8-week plan based on your real situation, take the Fatherhood Strength Assessment and I’ll send you a digital copy as part of your results.

 FAQs

  • No. We absolutely care about your training and nutrition, but only as part of your calling as a husband, father, and Christian. You’ll get simple, busy-dad workouts and a straightforward nutrition approach—but the goal isn’t abs, it’s energy and consistency so you can actually lead your home.

  • Most fitness programs treat you like a 22-year-old with no responsibilities: long workouts, rigid meal plans, zero integration with family or faith. Everything I teach is built for high-responsibility dads—men who carry real weight at work, love their families, and need strength and structure that fit into a life already under load.

  • It’s a discipleship-shaped coaching ecosystem. We’re unapologetically Christian and care about your soul, your marriage, your kids, and your habits. It’s not a church or a replacement for your local elders—but it’s far more intentional and structured than a casual men’s group.

  • The Fatherhood Strength Assessment is free, and so is the 8-week plan it provides.

    From there, you’ll see options based on your season:

    • a lower-cost community where you can live the five rhythms with other dads, and

    • a higher-investment 8-week cohort for men who want a focused, deep-dive reset.

      We can explore more after the assessment, so I can see if you’re a good fit, and so you’re deciding with clarity, not guesswork.

  • No, but you should be comfortable with historic, orthodox Christianity and a high view of Scripture. I’m personally Reformed and post-mill leaning, and that will show up in how I talk about family, work, and legacy—but we’re not here to fight intramural internet theology wars. If you love Christ, His Word, and want to build a godly household, you’re welcome and will feel at home.

  • If you’re already training consistently, great—that’s one pillar that’s stronger. What most fit dads discover, though, is that their habits aren’t integrated: they’re strong in the gym but inconsistent in the Word, scattered with priorities, don’t know how to disciple or train their kids, or half-present at home. The assessment and rhythms are designed to tie all of that together, not just get you lifting more weight.

  • That’s exactly who this is built for. I’ve run these frameworks as a Ranger, a startup guy, and a dad of six. The Daily 15 takes about 15 minutes. Workouts are 20–40 minutes. The point is simple, repeatable, sustainable, for decades…not “new full-time job.” If you’re too busy to carve out that much, that’s part of the problem we need to address. You’re in the right place.

  • No. We’re unapologetically masculine and we expect men to take responsibility, tell the truth, and get stronger. But masculinity that isn’t gentle, repentant, and sacrificial is just cosplay. This is for men who want to be dangerous in the right ways and deeply safe for their families.

  • You’re in good company. Most of the dads I work with have a graveyard of apps, programs, and reading plans behind them. The difference here is we start with your reality, focus on five core rhythms, and build them in a way that survives actual life: sick kids, late nights, busy seasons. You’ll also have other men and a weekly scorecard, not just “try harder on your own.”

  • For the community, most dads spend a few minutes a day on the rhythms (Daily 15, short workouts, family touches) plus one call per week if they can make it. The cohort is more focused: you’re committing to live the rhythms, engage more deeply, and join a weekly group call for 8 weeks. Either way, this is about replacing wasted or “non-optimized” time with intentional time, not stacking endless to-dos onto your already full plate.

Still wondering if this is for you? The simplest way to find out is to take the Fatherhood Strength Assessment and see exactly where you stand.
