Summary

In this conversation, Seun Adeyemi discusses the concept of 'drift' in the lives of men, particularly fathers, who may be physically present but emotionally and spiritually absent from their families. He emphasizes the importance of intentionality in nurturing relationships with spouses and children, highlighting that providing for a family is just the beginning of a father's responsibilities. Adeyemi offers practical steps to combat drift, encouraging men to be present and engaged in their homes, which he describes as their primary ministry.
