Our Story

Born from Loss, Rooted in Love

Dr. Rushing is a devoted father who, in a season of profound loss and separation from his own children, encountered the depth of God's fatherly love in a way that changed everything.

Dad-Beats was born from that encounter — a movement forged in brokenness and redeemed by grace, calling fathers back to the heart of the Father.

Annual Event

Dad-Beats Competition

Every year, fathers and their children step onto the floor together — not to compete against each other, but to celebrate the bond between them. A living testimony that fathers show up.

Photos and videography from each year's event are gathered here — moments that remind us what presence looks like.
