What if the most important thing about being a dad isn’t what you do for your kids, but whether you know God as Father?
In this final week of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, Pastor Joby Martin and author Charles Martin unpack what it really means to “be a godly dad” by first becoming a son who knows Abba Father. Through powerful stories of rescue, hospital nights, broken dreams, and fatherly hugs and kisses, they trace how our experiences with earthly dads can wound us, shape us—and ultimately be healed and redefined by the perfect love of our heavenly Father. They explore the intimacy of Jesus calling God “Abba,” the difference between living like a slave and living like a son, the weight and privilege of carrying the title “father,” and the hope available for men, women, and single moms who long for redemption in their family stories.
As you listen, where do you need to stop trying to muscle through on your own and finally look up and pray, “Father, would You please father me?”
