Recently published data on marriage and divorce in Australia have caught media attention: according to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, the crude divorce rate has dropped to 2.3 per 1,000 residents (2023).
Stories are even more important to children, especially when seen with Dad. There are some good family-friendly movies out at the moment. Let me give you my top three choices.
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.
Bruce Robinson argues that every father must learn to give unconditional love to his children, and is explicit about dads telling their children about their unconditional love for them. I agree, but it is darn difficult.
Joseph should get more than a nod at Christmas, because even for Jesus, fathers are not an accessory; they are a necessity.
Considering Christmas is only three sleeps away (yikes!), I’d like to share “The Greatest Gift”, a beautiful song featuring Andrea Bocelli.
I attended the Dads4Kids Men’s Leadership Summit last weekend (9-11 August 2024) and had the privilege of giving the Father’s Blessing to all who were there. As requested, here is a copy of the blessing.
"‘Why Can't We Hate Men?’ asks a headline in 'The Washington Post'. A trendy hashtag is #KillAllMen. Books are sold titled ‘I Hate Men’, ‘No Good Men’, and ‘Are Men Necessary’? How did an ideology arise that condemns masculinity as dangerous and destructive?”
At Dads4Kids, we’re all about inspiring fathers, but easily, the best way to be inspired is by following Jesus and making him the Lord (King) of your life. After all, how can we expect to be the best fathers we can be if we don’t know the ultimate father, our Father in heaven?
Real manhood is not to be found in the Red Pill, nor is the manosphere’s response to the cancer of feminism the right one. Real manhood is to be found in taking up your cross and following Christ, even if it means following Him to death.
