Hey dads, Are you still struggling as a father | even though you feel like you are doing the best you can? I struggled for years; I will never forget when my kids were more afraid of disappointing me than when felt loved by me. That was my wake-up call!

Peter said to Jesus, “Lord if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” Jesus said, “Come!” Peter got out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. Matt 14:28-29 These were the last words my father read before crashing his Navy Jet in into the sea in 1956

Who is setting the direction for your children? Who is telling them who they are and helping them find their way? If you aren’t, someone will be filling your shoes. Great fathers create families where their children FEARLESSLY pursue their dreams.

@RickWarren That's what Godly men do! Without God's women, where would the church be? It is never too late on this side of heaven to make things right. God's mercy shows us our sins, so we can repent, be forgiven, and make restitution where He calls us to.

Jesus was the most powerful, transformative teacher in history, and His Father spoke to Him audibly only twice in the gospel accounts. We might think that God would back up Jesus’s mission by declaring Him to be a prophet, pastor, evangelist, and healer...

If you’re a dad, what kind of dad are you? An involved father can make all the difference in a child’s life. His love and care can be the deciding factor in helping a young one become who he or she was created to be. 1/8 It is never too late to be a good father.

It only takes one loving father to change the course of generations - and one perfect heavenly Father to finish the process. When you pass down the good you receive from your dad and the Blessing from God the Father, your children will pass on that same blessing for generations.
