Dad•Partners Founding 40 Webinar
The Weight You Carry — And What to Do About It
A Free Webinar for Dads Who Want More Than Just Surviving
Most dads don’t talk about the weight they carry.
Not because they don’t feel it. Because they don’t know where to take it.
The pressure to lead well at home. The worry that you’re not present enough for your kids. The tension in a marriage you don’t know how to fix. The career demands that leave you running on empty. The quiet distance from God you don’t want to admit.
From the outside, everything looks fine. But inside, a lot of good men are carrying all of this alone.
I know, because I’ve watched it, and I've lived it myself.
I’m Kevin Darby. I’m 68 years old, and I’ve spent decades walking alongside men through the hardest seasons of fatherhood, marriage, and faith. When I was a younger dad, I was blessed to have older men and women around me who I could turn to — people who’d been through the fire and were willing to be honest about what it took to come out the other side.
My adult son is a dad now, too. A few years ago, we started meeting every other week, just the two of us — dinner at a restaurant, no agenda, just a father and son being real with each other. One night, after a hard conversation about the struggles he was facing, I pulled out my phone to take a selfie of us. When I went to caption it, I started typing one thing — and stopped. What came out instead was “Dad Partners.”
That moment changed everything. Because I realized: my son is an incredible dad and a man who loves Jesus. But he doesn’t have what I had. He doesn’t have a circle of older believers he can go to for honest counsel. And he’s not alone in that. An entire generation of dads is trying to figure out parenting, marriage, and career without the voices they need most.
So I’m building what’s been missing.
What Is Dad Partners?
Dad Partners is a brotherhood for dads with children living at home — men who follow Jesus and want to grow as fathers, husbands, and men of faith. Not a Bible study. Not a lecture series. A real community where men are honest about what’s hard and where they’re headed.
At the heart of it are weekly Zoom gatherings where these dads hear from Guest Guides — older men and women who’ve walked through the very things these younger dads are facing. Not sermons. Not teaching. Real, vulnerable stories from people who’ve struggled in their parenting, their marriages, their careers — and found their way through with God’s help.
We’ve also made the intentional choice to include women as Guest Guides. Because most men have never truly learned to listen to a woman’s perspective — and that perspective is one of the most powerful things a father and husband can learn to value.
What Is the Founding 40?
The Founding 40 is the first group of men who will shape what Dad Partners becomes. This isn’t a massive online audience. It’s forty dads who are serious about growing — and who want to be part of something from the ground floor.
If you join the Founding 40, you’re not just a member. You’re helping build the brotherhood that hundreds of dads will eventually walk into. Your voice, your feedback, your presence matters.
In This Webinar, You’ll Hear About:
Why so many good dads feel isolated — even when life looks “fine” from the outside
The three areas where fathers carry the heaviest weight: parenting, marriage, and career — and why those pressures shake everything, including faith
What actually helps dads grow stronger instead of just staying overwhelmed
How Dad Partners works, what the Founding 40 looks like, and whether this is the right fit for you
The real story behind why a 68-year-old dad built this for the next generation
Who This Is For
Dads with children living at home. That includes married dads, single dads, divorced dads, separated dads, and widowed dads. If you love your kids and want to grow as a father, a husband, and a man of faith — this is for you.
You don’t have to be in crisis to need this. In fact, most of the men who need this the most would tell you things are “fine.”
Bring a Partner
You probably know another dad walking a similar road. Consider inviting him to join you. Going through something like this with a partner often multiplies the value — and it’s how this whole thing got its name.
