Honor the Impact • Own Your Formation • Carry It Forward
A reflective series honoring the fathers who shaped us — and the lessons worth carrying forward.
No one becomes who they are alone.
At different moments in our lives, someone stepped in, whether it was a coach, a pastor, a grandfather, a boss, a teacher, a friend, and modeled something.
Some knew the impact they had. Some didn’t. This project exists to name those influences.
To give them their flowers. And to understand more clearly how we were formed because of them.

Join the project
Understanding your formation strengthens who you are becoming.
We were shaped by presence, correction, example, and influence. Some of that formation was steady and strong. All of it left a mark. This is an invitation to name the father who shaped you, express gratitude where it’s due, and own more fully for what you now carry forward.
