BUILDING STRONG HOMES podcast
HOST: CAROL ROPER
I’ve been thinking about doing this series for a while now because I want to get the message out that fathers DO matter in a home. Our culture misleads us to think it doesn’t matter if you grow up with a father or not. But it does.
Now if you’re a single mom and you’ve just thrown up your hands and wonder why you should even bother, please don’t get discouraged. This just means it’s important for you to be more aware and to be intentional about including godly men in your children’s lives. If there is a grandfather, uncle, or coach that can impact your child for good, you need to search for those men and ask for their help. It should encourage all of us as we think about Jim Daly, the president of Focus on the Family, and how he grew up with an absent father. It helps us understand the importance of a fatherly figure in our children’s lives. Jim Daly’s influence was a coach who took him under his wing and made him the godly man he is today. So, today we start our series with Dr. Ralph Carter. Dr. Carter has been a pastor for over 40 years and has seen first-hand the importance of having two parents in the home. He shares about his own father and their relationship, as well as biblical wisdom and principles about fatherhood and parenting in general. You’ll love Dr. Carter’s engaging way of talking, and you’ll learn how God instructs us to teach and train our children. We talk about how television has impacted our perception of fathers over the last several decades and the top two pieces of advice he has for parents. There is so much great information in this episode. I know you’ll come away feeling more equipped to parent well.
