Much like the hip-hop group Arrested Development’s song "People Everyday" celebrated ordinary people, at Dads4Kids it’s everyday people who inspire us to help fathers be the best they can be for their children.
For toddler parents with active and curious children, there are free or affordable activities you can find in your local Aussie neighbourhood to exercise their imagination and boost their confidence.
From classic cinema to Olympic ice rinks, this reflection explores love as a dance—dynamic, disciplined and beautiful—inviting husbands and fathers to lead with strength, joy and devotion.
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.
