Significant Role of Dads.
We live in a place of tension in modern Western nations when it comes to the role of a dad. Research tells us that fathers have a significant and important place in the lives of children and the statistics back this up.
Yet we also live in a society that on a regular basis makes fathers the brunt of jokes, and dads are portrayed as not very bright and completely dispensable.
Due to dreadful behaviour of some high-profile individuals, the term "toxic masculinity" has become a usual way of referring to men.
Yet that is not the whole story. Our community is full of dads loving their kids, contributing to their families and being a positive role model.
When we were filming the Insight podcasts in London we interviewed Justin Brierley and his son Noah. Justin is a well-known UK Christian leader and broadcaster. Noah is a social media influencer with 1.7 million followers on TikTok. Noah spoke of the positive and enduring impact that his father Justin has had on his life and his faith. It’s a reminder of the positive difference dads can make.
Why not take this Sunday as an opportunity to reflect on the role of the dads in your life. Take some time to thank God and to pray for them.
Share this daily- reading.
Thanks, Karl.
