Tyler Blanski

"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.

A winsome, beautifully written, page-turning read of a modern spiritual journey. This is the colorful story of one man's religious path that begins with a fundamentalist Baptist childhood to an adolescence in emergent church spirituality. He moves on through hipster years as a house painter and musician, then marries and enters a seminary in Wisconsin. After years of wearing a black cassock and preparing to be an Anglican priest, and his final bold decision of joining the Catholic Church, Tyler Blanski's tale does not reject suitors of religion, but seduces them. An Immovable Feast is a profound love story told with humor, wisdom and bite. A fresh breeze blows through it, one that perhaps hasn't blown through Christian conversation in a long time. Blanski reminds us that religion is not dead because it is not mortal. It is the liturgy of heaven...on earth.

Tired of church as you’ve known it? Thirsty for a fresh look at Christian faith? American singer/songwriter and author Tyler Blanski was, too. So he set out on a Holy Pilgrimage to rediscover the saints, stars, and beauty of Christianity for the twenty-first century. Rich with deep application for living in the modern world, When Donkeys Talk is an invitation to become enchanted again with Christ and his world. Tyler reminds us that God works in unexpected, unusual, and miraculous ways and that he inhabits and speaks through the wondrous world he has made. Blanski redefines “magical” to help us see that the world is guided by a hand greater than science and materialism. Using scripture, the wisdom of the church fathers, and respected theologians and Christian thinkers from centuries past, as well as a creative and humorous narrative, you will find the wonder of our ancient faith still alive and well.
