ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Timeless Parenting, we spoke to two Christian fathers about the lessons they have learnt along the way. Andrew Horsfield is a father of three adult sons and Dan Connor (Harriet’s husband) has four sons aged 16 down to five.
They shared honestly about:
- the role confusion facing modern fathers
- how understanding God’s fatherhood can help
- the unique role that Christian dads can play
- how dads can gain confidence in caring for their children
- how mums can support dads’ involvement with their kids
- how Christian dads can encourage one other
- how to manage when your own dad was not a perfect role model
- how to manage when you feel you have failed.
This conversation will be hugely encouraging for all dads, whether they are just starting out or further down the track. Mums will also benefit from listening to the perspective of these Christian dads.
