What do you call a pig that practices karate?
A pork chop.

All dads have terrible jokes. Dad jokes are characterized by their simple, pun-based humor and often groan-inducing punchlines. But honestly being a father can be no joke. I see guys wearing “BEST DAD EVER” shirts and I wonder what it really means to be the best dad because honestly many days I feel like I failed as a father.

Being a father encompasses a wide range of roles, responsibilities, and emotions. It means more than just a biological connection; it involves nurturing, guiding, and supporting.

But how do you do that well? Often we are left as fathers trying to figure it out as we go. There are countless fathers who if they were honest, feel like they have failed. There are no classes in school about being a father. It’s not like guys sit around discussing fathering. It’s just something we have to learn along the way. Perhaps your dad was a great role model, but the more men we talk to, we hear the exact opposite. Fathers have failed.

Join us in this episode as we talk about the characteristics of a Godly father. We offer practical ways that we can develop the character that God desires for fathers. I am reminded of a quote “Every father should remember one day his son will follow his example, not his advice.” –Charles Kettering Join in the conversation as we honor Fathers.
