In late February 2025, Tom MacDonald released "Man in the Sky", a poignant, country-tinged ballad accompanied by a farm animal-themed music video. His poetic lyrics have a child-like innocence, yet pose some of life’s biggest questions.

Fatherhood, far from being “toxic”, is an incredible protective factor that majorly reduces a whole variety of risks for children. The benefits of fatherhood extend far beyond the home, impacting children's health, safety, and future success. Keep that in mind next time someone uses the phrase “toxic masculinity”.

When I called for men to talk about their mental health, I wasn’t sure what the response would be. But the comments from readers show that many men do want to speak about their emotions, although they feel they are not being heard.

A new book chronicles the Family Court's 50 years of destroying families and men's lives. It is a harbinger of the deeply flawed secular world into which we are sleepwalking.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s story is compelling and illuminates many important issues for us today. Hopefully, like me, you’ll be encouraged and spurred on in your fatherhood while watching this film. Stand strong, be a guide to others, protect, and lead your family in love.

Parenting two under two is a rollercoaster, and some days, we’re just holding on for dear life.

While we are far from experts on toddler tantrums, there is one principle my wife and I have agreed on in recent days: pick your battles. We want to avoid as many unnecessary power struggles as possible, and preserve our emotional energy for the battles that really matter.

Some married couples choose to remain childless, citing fears of financial freedom and environmental concerns. But we must not let fear deprive us of the extraordinary joys that having children brings to ordinary life.

The most crucial elements in drag racing are achieving a fast and consistent launch, maximising traction, and maintaining a smooth, straight-line run to the finish line. The same can be said of fathering.
