This week I am joined by a member of the local congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where I attend; Pat Neel. Pat is a husband, father, and grandfather. We discuss some of the challenges of being a father, and how fatherhood has helped shape our views on God. Pat shares some lessons he felt were valuable to impart to his 4 daughters growing up, as well as what the relationship of being a father looks like when becoming a grandfather. 

The religious views expressed in this episode are solely of the participants and do not necessarily reflect those of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
