Parenting journey is a sacred calling filled with joy, challenges, and profound responsibilities.
Christian fathers need to grow in their knowledge and acceptance of God's love despite the distractions of daily living.
Their affection not only fortifies their faith but also has a profound effect on the faith and lives of their children, pointing them toward a Christ-centered future.
