The Power of A Father’s Influence In A Boy’s Life

Within this episode I will talk about the third of the Seven Things Every Boy Needs To Thrive As A Future Man. #3 Every Boy Needs A Father or Male In His Life. The power of a father/man’s influence in a boy’s life cannot be overstated. With over 40% of boys in America living in a home without a father many boys will miss out on the masculine influence God designed for every boy. Focus on Michael Phelps (Olympian Swimmer).

 

Four Things a Father or Male Figure in a Boy’s Can Provide:

* He models what is a man just by being the adult leading the way.

* He teaches by example and words how a man works, play, loves, and much more.

* He models how men relate within their own gender.

* He shows a boy how men process their emotions differently than women.
