We all see it as an obvious "role" but rarely do we hear it addressed as a calling. What does that mean? What difference does it make? What impact can it have?

In both the Role and Calling of being a dad, kids need us to reflect for them, what our Heavenly Father is of us...

A Provider/Protector

A Nurturer

A Boundry Maker

Coach/Guide

While these are not the only aspects needed in a father, they are centrally essential.

The Vertical Solution:

Solidifying our vertical relationship with our Heavenly Father to empower our horizontal relationships with our kids.

The Urbanization of America:

Taking dads from the farm fields where they used to work regularly/daily with their kids to urban settings that increasingly took dads away, from early morning until evening which enhanced, often unintentionally, disengagement.

The Great Society and its debilitating impact on the family, especially of urban minorities, where it became economically beneficial to NOT be married than it was to be a single parent.

A large number of dads who experienced tragic encounters in combat theaters such as Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, etc. Many returned having been impacted by PTSD, loss of limbs, etc. thus often leading to a withdrawal emotionally.

The lack of models growing up from which "future dads" could learn how to father by watching examples. Without question, kids learn more by what they observe and see modeled than by simply what they are told.

Dr. Rick Fowler: The Stages of Changes

What is a Father Wound? Why do they happen? What impact do they have?

These can be reversed! It will require intentional volitional choices to turn the ship. It happens one man at a time.

It must begin with a Vertical reconciliation to the only Perfect Father, the Heavenly Father. This will require humility and honesty on the part of each dad, and a decision that regardless of his personal past, he desires a great future for his family and his relationship with them. It is NOT TOO LATE to begin that journey, no matter what the past may hold.

When a child has a really engaged dad, what does it mean for that child?

It doesn't take much to become a dad but it takes ALOT to be a good one! Fathers have the power to strengthen and to craft the next generation or to destroy it.
