The post Fatherhood has Second Chances: Jon Tyson appeared first on FamilyLife®.

Without strong mentors, boys are walking alone into a wilderness of conflicting messages about who they should be as men. It’s no wonder that our sons are confused about what the world expects from them and what they should expect of themselves. Jon Tyson lays out a clear path for fathers and sons that includes specific activities, rites of passage, and significant “marking moments” that can be customized to fit any family.

The post The Power of Praying Together: Paul Miller appeared first on FamilyLife®.

Toxic masculinity is just as destructive as we think it is—to society and men alike. But author and professor Nancy Pearcey’s data shows more of the whole story: of the power of a great dad and a good man to change their corner of the world.

As a little girl, I looked up to my dad so much. I was the youngest of four, but I can remember being scared of the dark, and I ran into my parents’ bedroom. I would snuggle in between my mom and dad, and I remember my dad would put his arm around me and I would feel so protected, and then my little head would move into his rib, and I could feel and hear his heartbeat. I felt so cared for and protected.

I loved my mom. I had a great relationship with my mom, but there was something about my dad that made me feel safe. I always wanted his attention. I wanted to be seen by him because he was so important to me.  — Ann Wilson
