Description

Cheesy puns, recliner naps, and mischievous risks… these are just some of the hallmarks of a great dad—maybe even yours!


As Father’s Day approaches, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender remind you of what makes a great father. Why we need to take time to celebrate the unique qualities that set dads apart. They share how their husbands handle fatherhood, explore the innate differences between men and women that make a father’s approach to raising kids to complementary, and why it’s important to give dads grace when that approach veers a little risky. They have their reasons, and your kids may be all the better for it!


Whether you’re celebrating your own dad this Father’s Day or the father to your children, this episode is a reminder of the comfortable, safe space a loving father creates and holds for a lifetime. Let every great father know how important they truly are.


Quote of the episode:

“As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.” (Psalm 103:13 ).
