230: Blake Brewer and A Father’s Legacy

Blake Brewer is on a mission to help 1 MILLION Dads write at least one well written, meaningful, lasting Legacy Letter to their children. Blake has three children under 5. He absolutely loves being a father. As he leads his family and his children, he draws from many mentors, but none more important than his late father Larry Brewer. Today, Blake shares how losing his father and the letter he left changed the course of his life. Blake’s story reminds us that a father’s approval, attention, and adoration mean everything to their children.

Listen to Blake’s story now!

Stories Blake shared:

Growing up in Texas in a Christian family
When his dad took a day off work to take him to the pastor
Refusing to pray in public at church camp
Studying accounting in college
The day his life changed when his dad died on vacation
Praying for God to save his dad’s life
The letter that his dad left for him
What his dad encouraged him to do
Grieving for his dad
Asking why this terrible event happened
The first time he shared his faith with someone
Having the idea to start a movement helping dads give letters to their kids
The impact you can have on your kids

Great quotes from Blake:

If there’s a God, do I even want to follow a God who would allow this to happen?

It was so healing for me to share to start to minister to other people and allow God to work through me.

Every time I was scared, I would go back to my dad and it was like courage from my dad.
