With Father's Day just passing us by, we hope to help you appreciate all the fathers out there! In a culture with rampant fatherlessness (and many statistics that show the tragic impact), its important that we look at the Bible for how us fathers should be living!

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through what a godly father should look like. We take a look at attributes of our Heavenly Father as well as commands from the Bible about the role of a father. We take a look at some shocking statistics about the role fatherlessness plays in our society today and hope to encourage any fathers or aspiring fathers out there today!
