When one considers their life from the perspective of what is personally most important, one would have to consider knowing who you are to be at the top of the list. How many people truly know who they are? And furthermore, what is their calling and destiny?
This podcast attempts to establish the connection between the presence of a father in a person's life and the role that father plays in God's design to bring forth their children's identity, calling and destiny. The Scriptural context for this is for a father to connect his children to God the Father.
God the Father has a design for the family. The father in the family plays a crucial role in the development of the children God has given to that family. If the father is removed from the family, many if not most of the next generation doesn't know who they are. Does this sound like an evil plan? You can bet it is.
In 1970, a woman named Kate Millet wrote a book entitled "Sexual Politics". The main intent of this book was to emasculate men insuring that young men did not grow up to be fathers. In 1970 the percentage of households in America with a traditional family of a father, mother and one or more children was 85% of the households. By 2025, the percentage of households constructed of a traditional family was 35%. That was a 50% drop. That is huge!
This podcast presents a solution that only God can bring about. The solution is manifold, however, it includes the return of fathers to America and the re-establishment of the traditional family.
Hope you enjoy listening and be encouraged. While Papa Tom may be a voice crying out in the wilderness of media, he knows he is not the only voice. True words are apples of gold in settings of silver, they will change the culture once again. Bringing the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers.
Blessings:
Papa Tom
