What is a Patros? More than just a Greek word for “father,” Patros is a calling—a deep, spiritual identity that reflects the strength, sacrifice, and tenderness of God Himself. In this kickoff episode of our 4-part series, we explore what it truly means to be a Patros in today’s world. We break down the origin and biblical use of the word, the role of fatherhood in human flourishing, and the tension every man faces: the need to be strong, yet gentle; seen, yet unseen; present, yet sacrificial. This episode is not just theological—it’s personal. Through raw and honest conversation between brothers, we unpack how our relationship with our earthly fathers shapes us, how father wounds carry into adulthood, and how Jesus reframed everything we thought we knew about what it means to be a son and a father. In This Episode: What the Bible means by Patros and how Jesus used it Why fatherhood is spiritual warfare and emotional discipleship How childhood experiences shape your adult relationships The difference between performance-driven fathering and gospel-driven identity Why “being seen” matters to dads—and what to do when you aren’t Three traits of a Patros: Growing spiritually, Anchored in brotherhood, Putting faith into action.
