I’m thankful that I grew up with a godly dad, two godly grandfathers and other men who influenced my life. The lessons they’ve taught me continue to guide me. 

As we get ready to celebrate Father’s Day, I want to share with you a little bit about the important men in my life—some stories about them and wisdom from them. I also look at what the Bible says about the roles of fathers. But this episode is for moms, too, because of a lot of what I reference from the Bible can help both parents as you raise your children. 

Being a parent is hard and a tremendous responsibility. I want this episode to encourage you to be intentional about making God the center of your family and asking Him how to leave a godly legacy in their lives.
