Let’s start by dispelling a great myth that has arisen in our society. The foundational lie upon which this myth is based goes something like this, “Getting a girl pregnant doesn’t make you a father.” That’s a lie, plain and simple. Impregnating a woman does make you a father. The fact that we live in a world where men who get women pregnant are routinely given a pass on meeting the obligations of fatherhood doesn’t make them any less a father. You might be one of the men reading right now who doesn’t want to hear this, so I’ll say it again…having sex with a woman and causing her to become pregnant makes you a father. Fathers have a God given obligation to the children they conceive.
Fatherhood isn’t easy but it is vitally important to the overall health of a society. And let’s be clear, becoming a father is easy. Fathering is a whole different story.
We’re not here to say we’ve got all the answers, sometimes just the opposite. We’ll raise questions you’ll have to deal with on your own. More than anything, we want to encourage you. You can father well, spectacularly well. It takes looking for good strong role models (the lack of such is one issue we’ll tackle), studying the great masters and practice, practice, practice.
