From Ashes We Rise: A Family’s Legacy and Loss in the Altadena Fire

Leave a Comment / Faith /

Fatherhood holds a profound influence, yet the experience of having a father varies greatly. Some have never known their fathers, while others have had inconsistent or emotionally distant relationships. These broken bonds can lead to resentment, acceptance of dysfunction, or simply a resigned “it is what it is” attitude.

However, true fatherhood is modeled by God, the ultimate Father, who offers tender love and compassion, even when we fail. His call to men is to reject harmful societal norms of fatherhood and embrace a legacy of love, patience, and moral integrity. The scripture from Ephesians 6:4 reminds fathers to nurture their children tenderly, reflecting God’s gentle correction and unwavering presence.

This Father’s Day, let’s break the cycle of dysfunction. Let’s redefine fatherhood by becoming men who honor their words, show up with love, and create stability for future generations. Through God’s wisdom, men can lead with compassion and humility, leaving a lasting legacy of strength and integrity.

“A gentle father shows his strength in patience, love, and understanding.”

The Truthful Tales of a Vulnerable Father

Leave a Comment / Family /

Growing up without a father, I knew I wanted to change that for my own children. I believed that simply being present would be enough, but I soon realized that my unresolved emotional issues and past mistakes were hindrances to my parenting. Through honest conversations with my kids about my struggles with shame, addiction, and defiance, I discovered the power of transparency. By sharing my imperfections and grounding our discussions in faith, I was able to build a stronger bond with my children and equip them with the wisdom to face life’s challenges with the spirit over the flesh. Fatherhood is not just about being there—it’s about being real and guiding our children with honesty, love, and faith.
