What it Takes to Be a Good Father

BECOMING LIKE YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN

A good father is a blessing to his family. But if you’re a dad, you know it’s not an easy calling. And it’s not something you can do in your own strength. You need the guidance and mentorship of your heavenly Father. In his book Man of God, Dr. Stanley shares how men can best reflect Christ in every area of their lives.

GOD CAN REDEEM A FATHER’S BROKENNESS

The father who left you behind

What would cause someone to do this to his own children? Those who have been abandoned by their fathers are often left with more questions than answers. But forgiveness has a way of helping us all see past our own pain and better understand those who have wronged us.

Healing begins with forgiveness

When you fall short of ideal

While there will be times you’re reminded of your parenting failures, you’re not defined by them. Christ died for your shortcomings on the cross. And your heavenly Father has the strength and grace to make up for your weaknesses.

Be kind to yourself

Wisdom for the road ahead

There comes a time in all of our lives when what used to work no longer serves us. And we find that playing to win isn’t a game worth playing anymore. In this open letter, one dad gives his kids advice for that particular season of life.
