The Family Shepherd
by Eli Williams — the book behind the workshop
THE PROVEN SOLUTION
The Family Shepherd Workshop
A 4-hour leadership intensive — rooted in Scripture and based on Pastor Eli Williams’ book The Family Shepherd — that moves men from surviving to shepherding. Hosted in local churches, led by an experienced facilitator, and designed to turn conviction into action.
“I was convinced to pour into my eighteen-year-old son in a richer way. The men will be thoroughly enriched.”
HOW IT WORKS
A three-part partnership for the local church.
Most local churches want to host this training but lack the budget to cover expert fees. We bridge the gap with a simple public-private model — three partners, one mission.

Testimonials
“Pastor Eli’s Father Love class created a gentle, warm environment where men could be vulnerable about fatherhood, and it humbled me while simultaneously building my confidence by equipping me with critical skills for the responsibility ahead.”
“I just want to tell you the class was very inspiring and really showed everywhere I was lacking as the shepherd of my household. I will continue to use the information you provided to become a better shepherd and continue to rely on the Holy Spirit to help me do so. So thanks for all you did for me that day. Blessings upon you.”
“The Father Love book shares the structural framework for building a comprehensive church-based Fatherhood Ministry to address the national crisis of father absence in families and communities.”
