"Since our exile from Eden," Blanski writes, "God has been using 'boring dads' to save the world."
What if the life you're living--the diapers, deadlines, and dog walks--is exactly where your greatness is meant to unfold? As a younger man, Tyler Blanski lived by the bold American proverb "If you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly." He chased adventure, dreamed big, and lived passionately. But after marriage, kids, and settling into suburban life, he found himself wondering, Am I still the grizzly--or have I become a teddy bear?
In this raw, witty, and deeply honest book, Blanski explores the hidden heroism of ordinary fatherhood. Through personal stories, spiritual insights, and no-nonsense encouragement, he invites fellow dads to rediscover their strength--not by escaping family life but by leaning into it. Holiness isn't just found in mountaintop monasteries or epic quests. It's forged in the garage, the carpool lane, and the kitchen after bedtime.
Find Your Fight: Rugged Wisdom for Faithful Dads Who Refuse to Settle is a rallying cry for men who refuse to coast through midlife. Ending each chapter with practical reflections (best pondered over whiskey and a firepit), Blanski challenges dads to reclaim their mission, reframe their vocation, and find holiness in the grit of everyday life.
Whether you're changing diapers or leading a team meeting, this book will remind you that fatherhood is not a detour from greatness--it's the battleground where saints are made.
Perfect for dads who want more than just survival in the suburbs, this is a bold invitation to live with purpose, fight for your family, and become the man God is calling you to be.
