The Father Podcast: "Functional Father vs. Nurturing Father – Why It Matters More Than Ever" - EP 20
Description
Many dads show up, provide, and keep things running — but that doesn’t mean they’re nurturing. In this episode, Marcus Meazzo and Stephen Meeks unpack what it really means to be a nurturing father and why simply being functional isn’t enough.
We dive into the emotional and spiritual impact of fathering without connection, and how that silent wound gets passed down through generations. If you’ve ever felt like you're doing your best but still missing something with your son, this one’s for you.
You’ll learn:
- The difference between a functional and nurturing father
- Why emotional connection is just as critical as provision and discipline
- How to begin healing your own father wounds so you can break the cycle
- Practical steps to reconnect with your son and build lasting trust
- What it looks like to lead your son into godly manhood, even if you never had that example yourself
This episode is raw, real, and rooted in biblical wisdom. No fluff. Just the truth that fathers need to hear.
