When it comes to fathering, sometimes it's two steps forward, one step back. Always remember, even if you get hit back a step after two steps forward, you’re still one step ahead from where you were before. Dads, keep on keeping on!

If you want to be truly great in your life as a man, as a leader, as a husband, as a father, in employment, in business or in any endeavour, the secret for SUCCESS is HUMILITY.

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.

As C.S. Lewis wrote, don’t lock up your heart in a "coffin of your selfishness". Instead, love those closest to you with openness and vulnerability. Familial love like this might just be the closest one can get to Heaven on earth.

If you can, share some memorable stories with your own children. Jodi and I often share memorable stories from our childhoods, especially those involving extended family members.

Even if your pockets are empty (as mine often are), consider yourself abundantly blessed to have family in your life. If you can, ride around town with your family this December, with the windows down, play Stapleton’s "Millionaire", and make sure you play it loud.

Do you ever feel like your marriage has become a minefield? Sometimes we get off track with our wives, and the smallest things can cause tension and separation. Too often, couples get caught up in the distractions of life and lose track of each other.

Singing is truly enjoyable with little ones — and it’s a great way to bond with them. The best songs are the made-up songs. They make up songs that rhyme, songs about putting on your shoes, and songs about eating crackers. My girls make up songs about nearly everything they do!

Spending Father’s Day without the kids can be tough. Read on for alternative ways to spend Father’s Day and still make the day special.

During a break in filming Knox Grammar School’s Centenary Tattoo, I googled ‘Virile Agitur’, Knox’s school motto. I almost fell off my camera chair when I discovered it means ‘do the manly thing.’ What a fantastic motto for an all-boys school!

Dads4Kids founders Warwick and Alison Marsh have massive hearts. As their eldest son, I’ve witnessed first-hand their Phar Lap-sized tickers for Australia and the World. It’s right there in the hand-drawn blue heart of the Dads4Kids logo.

Dads, spark your children’s imaginations! Stoke their curiosity! Be the fantastical father who fires up their brain synapses and inspires them to find their place in the world. You won’t regret it.

Australian singer-songwriter Colin Buchanan is a national living treasure. My family and I are BIG Colin Buchanan fans! So when I logged into Spotify the other week and saw Colin had released a new song, "Stick Together", I immediately had a listen.
