There’s one critical element in a young person’s development that will result in a greater likelihood of them following Jesus and experiencing a healthy, thriving life:
Dad.
Fathers have a unique and important role in the lives of their children. That role is different in the life of a young child than it is in the life of a teenager or grown-up.
Kirk wrote a book called The Seasons of Fatherhood to help dads understand the various stages of life and how they matter in every one of them. Kirk and Jeff talk about the different seasons of fatherhood, and Kirk offers a short encouragement for dads who think they may have failed.
