Father’s Day is an important holiday for many reasons. While our relationship with our heavenly father is imperative, loving and serving our earthly father is just as important. In today’s episode of Changing, Donald discusses how we can serve our father and build a better relationship for long-term growth with five different strategies.

Learn about your past.

• Research your family tree and do genealogy to learn about your family’s past.

Cook a meal with your father.

• What’s the cuisine or recipe your dad loves making or eating? 
• Create those things with him, and create a family recipe to pass down to your own kids.

Talk to him.

• Learn about how he met your mother, what he used to do when he was younger, or memorable moments from his own life.
• Conversations about his interests will help you learn more about him and give him a chance to speak about his aspirations. 

Plan a vacation or stay-cation:

• Plan a short trip together depending on your resources and relationship with your father!
• Consider traveling back to his hometown or a memorable time of his life so he can share another part of his life with you.

Play a game.

• Whether in-person or remote, playing a game together will be an easy and enjoyable way to spend time together and enjoy one another’s company.

A final bonus tip: pray for him. Especially if you don’t have the best relationship with your father, you’d be amazed at what can happen when you approach the situation with humility to the Lord.
