Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandads and father figures! I hope you’re able to spend precious time with friends and family today and celebrate the positive influence dads have. No man is an island — we need a supportive community to flourish and grow.
Dads4Kids' recent Men’s Leadership Summit was an incredible weekend of encouragement, practical training and peer-to-peer mentoring. We were inspired to stand fast in the faith, to be courageous and strong as men. In the company of great men, well, there’s nothing quite like it.
These days, I’m no longer behind the camera, but the message of Dads4Kids remains constant: Our mission is to encourage dads and help them be the best they can be for their children.
Danny Abdallah could have easily smashed the man who killed his children, as at one stage he was the Australian kickboxing champion. He recently met the man in the jail where he is serving his sentence to tell him personally of his forgiveness.
Please be assured as I take on the new role of CEO that the heart of Dads4Kids will continue to beat strong with fresh energy. I’m excited for all that God, our Father in Heaven, has in store for the big-hearted movement founded by the wonderful Warwick and Alison Marsh.
Stories are even more important to children, especially when seen with Dad. There are some good family-friendly movies out at the moment. Let me give you my top three choices.
In late February 2025, Tom MacDonald released "Man in the Sky", a poignant, country-tinged ballad accompanied by a farm animal-themed music video. His poetic lyrics have a child-like innocence, yet pose some of life’s biggest questions.
Bruce Robinson argues that every father must learn to give unconditional love to his children, and is explicit about dads telling their children about their unconditional love for them. I agree, but it is darn difficult.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s story is compelling and illuminates many important issues for us today. Hopefully, like me, you’ll be encouraged and spurred on in your fatherhood while watching this film. Stand strong, be a guide to others, protect, and lead your family in love.
