Celebrating Fathers | | This Sunday is Father’s Day! Perhaps this is the right time to inform you that I am the World’s #1 Dad (I even have a mug to prove it). It’s impossible to overstate the importance of fathers. Having a present, loving father dramatically improves life outcomes for children in virtually every area. And while there’s been plenty of handwringing recently about the lack of engaged fathers, there is plenty to celebrate. In Faithful Fathers, Brad East writes that the death of fatherhood has been greatly exaggerated. He points to positive examples of great dads, including his own, that are quietly blessing their children. Creating good fathers starts with building good men. To bolster your church’s efforts, check out our resource on Ministry to Men. This newly updated 14-page resource will equip leaders to be effective at galvanizing men into becoming better fathers, husbands, sons, and followers of Jesus. |
