Between Us Guys by Joel Fitzpatrick

Between Us Guys is a practical, gospel-centered guide that helps fathers intentionally engage their sons in meaningful conversations about life, faith, and growing into godly men.

With a warm, conversational tone, Joel Fitzpatrick equips dads and caregivers to talk with boys ages six to ten about real-life topics like friendships, anger, money, and cultural issues—all through the lens of the gospel. Drawing from his experience as a pastor and father, Fitzpatrick encourages men not to avoid hard conversations but to approach them with clarity, honesty, and a deep reliance on God’s Word.

More than just a resource, this book establishes a pattern for ongoing discipleship by showing how the gospel shapes every area of life. Through guided questions, Scripture, and practical activities, fathers are empowered to build strong relationships with their sons while passing on a lasting, Christ-centered vision for how to live in today’s world.
