Ep. 1078: Is Fatherhood Still Vital?

June 18, 2019

The whole idea of fatherhood seems to have changed.  In this age of one-parent families in which the present parent is overwhelmingly the mom, we accepted and embraced minimizing the need of a living-at-home dad.  I certainly understand not wanting any child to feel inferior because they don’t have a dad in their life, but does that justify marginalizing every dad?  So, what is the role of fatherhood?  Are there principles and practices of fathering that are concrete and should never change?  How do we take the “old-fashioned” scriptural ways and apply them to men raising children in the 21st century?  What are the most important things Christian dads should be aware of?  How do fathers raise their children in an age where we have now begun to pronounce masculinity as toxic?
