More About Me

Hey there! My name is Barnabas but most people call me "B" (probably because saying "Barnabas" three times fast sounds like you're speaking in tongues). Let me start by saying I'm still figuring out this whole dad thing - and by "figuring out," I mean desperately Googling "how much sand can my kid eat at the beach and be ok?"

Most days you'll find me trying to explain why we can't have ice cream for breakfast, mediating sibling wars over who gets the blue cup, and discovering that God has a quite the sense of humor - especially when He teaches me patience through a meltdown in Target.

So What Now?!

This may be hard to believe but I really don't like being the center of attention (says the guy making social media content about his life - I see the irony). With that being said, I decided to start sharing my journey because I realized something: we're all just imperfect dads trying to raise amazing kids. And somewhere between the sleepless nights and the "why" questions that never end, God shows up in the most unexpected ways.

Here's what you can expect:

  • Real talk about the beautiful mess of fatherhood

  • Biblical truths discovered in everyday dad moments

  • The victories, the fails, and everything in between

  • A reminder that you're not alone in this

The Bottom Line

I'm not a perfect dad – not even close. But I'm learning that our sons and daughters don't need perfect; they need present. They need dads who are growing, learning, and willing to find God's grace in the chaos.

So whether you're here for the laughs, the encouragement, or just to know you're not the only one who's used Goldfish crackers as a legitimate food group, welcome to the journey.

Let's figure this out together.

My hope: To encourage dads that imperfection doesn't disqualify us – it's exactly where God's grace shows up strongest.
