Becoming Dad: Realizing My Identity As A Father - Paperback

Becoming Dad is a testimony of God's faithfulness in the life of a young man learning to trust Him through every season-loss, love, waiting, and miracles. Justin Hairston shares how God used childhood wounds, financial hardship, infertility, and a devastating accident to shape him into the father and leader he was called to be. Through every valley, he discovers that God's plan is never delayed, only developing, and that "The Lord answered from Heaven; He thought enough about me to answer me."

This memoir reveals how faith carried Justin and his wife through unemployment, PCOS, miscarriage, and the long road to their miracle children. It is a story of surrender-of learning that fatherhood begins not with birth, but with obedience, healing, and spiritual growth. As Justin writes, "You cannot afford to forfeit your destiny, your purpose, your divine appointments."

Becoming Dad is an invitation for every believer to trust God's timing, embrace His process, and believe that even in the darkest moments, He is writing a story worth telling.

Author Justin Hairston, a native of Reidsville, North Carolina, has since established his home in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he also serves as an Elder through One Way Churches International at his local assembly, Harvest City Church Greensboro. He is a proud husband, father, and Social Worker who desires to see people thrive and live to their full potential regardless of their race, age, background, ethnic origin, socioeconomic class, ability, or any other difference. One of his favorite scriptures is Matthew 6:33, as he believes that the key to having the best life is trusting that all good things come from a good God.
