BetterMan CEO, Chris Harper teaches a 16 part course entitled “That Dad Life.” This course is for all men who are either the biological father, step-father or a functional dad in a child’s life.  “Harp” sets forth a mountain of problems that are facing children in America who do not have a father in the home.  He systematically addresses these statistics by building a foundation of fatherhood that reflects the life of Jesus Christ.  The three-fold role of Jesus found in the Bible is Jesus as a Priest, Prophet and King.  This course has multiple classes on each one of these roles of Jesus and offers timely application for every dad to become the spiritual priest, prophet and king over their household.

That Dad Life Introduction

Chris Harper - That Dad Life

That Dad Life Digital Workbook

No matter where you are in the dad game, this course is for you. A new dad or a seasoned father, the pro tips and godly wisdom you pick up over these 16 classes will help you be the best dad you can be.

The Dad Definition

The Dad Game as a Solution to Fatherlessness

You can’t become what you can’t define. Many dads are failing at the “dad game'' because they don’t even know they're in the game. When you are finished with this course, you’ll know what a good, godly dad is and, more importantly, how to be one.

Father Absent

Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones says that before we can apply the cure, we need to know the symptoms. Men, the state of Fatherhood today is not great. Harp continues to recite the national statistics on fatherlessness.

Father as Chief Priest

Dad as Priest of the Home

Many of the problems linked to father-absent homes, like increased teen suicide, obesity, teen pregnancy, and mental instability, can be prevented by showing your kids that you CARE.  You care best for your kids by leading them spiritually in your home. You love the best when you show them Jesus.

Loving Their Mom With a Priestly Love

Boys who become men and take advantage of and abuse their wives and girlfriends, typically learn that behavior from their fathers. To best love your kids, start by best loving their mother. 

Intercede for Your Children

You can do a ton of stuff with and for your family, but you can’t lead and love your family until you are willing to pray for your family, daily. In the Old Testament we read about the role of the priest who intercedes on behalf of the people.

What Is Prayer?

Most men do not know how to pray, much less, what to pray. How you pray and what you pray are important. As the chief priest of our homes, dads need to know what prayer is and how to pray for our children.

What Do We Pray for Our Kids?

We know prayer is important because God says it is. So how should we pray for our kids?

Leading Our Families to the Presence of God

Most young people, as they get older, reject the faith they grew up with. Why? Because they say their parents were hypocrites. Let’s fix that.

The Look & Feel of Family Worship

Following God does not happen organically. You need a plan. To properly worship God with your family you need the right ingredients.

The Prophet of the House

Dad as Prophet of the Home

Without a guide your kids are lost. Worse, if you dont guide them, someone or something else will. Young people are running head first into poor choices, all because they don’t have a compass. As dad, you’re the true north.

Discipline

Discipline is discipleship, and good discipleship is an art. As dad, say what you mean, mean what you say, but don’t be mean when you say it.

Walking, Not Just Talking

As a prophet, the father represents God to the family, just like the Old Testament prophets represent God to the people. This representation manifests itself in word and deed. Or to say it another way, you have to practice what you preach.

King Me

Dad as King in the Home

Chris Harper lays down his final challenge for men. There’s only one man that can love and lead your home. It’s time to be King.

Steward King

Harp says that you can’t let your kids play in Egypt and then get upset when they start acting like Egyptians. Be watchful. Be responsible. As dad, you are accountable.

Father as the Leader

Leadership is valuable. Authority is not toxic, it's essential. You’re powerful, use your power accordingly.

Love God More Than Anything Else

The best way to serve your children, your wife, and your family is to love God above all else. The greater your devotion and love for God, the greater your influence and impact on your family.

That Dad Life Conclusion

Becoming a better dad is like building a skyscraper in a crowded city that requires you to tear the old building down before you can start construction. Be a dad that has a firm foundation that reflects Jesus to your family.
