My Ten Greatest Love Songs
Every married couple needs to grow in love, and listening to love songs is one way to strengthen your marriage. Here are my top ten greatest love songs!
Everyday Aussie Heroes
Earlier this year, another true-blue Aussie hero, Martin Stevenson from PowerPlus NSW, reached out to Dads4Kids. Like Chris Woods, Martin is a courageous man, doing what he can with what he has to raise much-needed funds and awareness for the men and fathers of Australia.
Iron Sharpens Iron
This concept of men being sharpened like iron, or improving themselves, is a key component of Dads4Kids' mission to "transform the nation by inspiring fathers to help their children be the best they can be."
The Toxic War on Masculinity
"‘Why Can't We Hate Men?’ asks a headline in 'The Washington Post'. A trendy hashtag is #KillAllMen. Books are sold titled ‘I Hate Men’, ‘No Good Men’, and ‘Are Men Necessary’? How did an ideology arise that condemns masculinity as dangerous and destructive?”
Virile Agitur
During a break in filming Knox Grammar School’s Centenary Tattoo, I googled ‘Virile Agitur’, Knox’s school motto. I almost fell off my camera chair when I discovered it means ‘do the manly thing.’ What a fantastic motto for an all-boys school!
The Greatest Poem of All Time on Manhood, and the Power of Family
The "Unsung Hero" movie is a true story about a courageous Australian father who eventually found the courage to love his family unconditionally. That is why I want to encourage you, one more time, to go and see it. You will never regret the experience.
Masculinity is Not Toxic
Our forefathers would roll in their graves (and they’d roll their eyes too if they could) if they knew some 21st-century Westerners put ‘toxic’ and ‘masculinity’ in the same sentence. The truth is that healthy masculinity is a marvellous force for good.
Survival School for Men
John Eldredge is the most credible voice for men in the world today. He has written 26 books, but his 2001 breakthrough book, "Wild at Heart – Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul" is still the bestselling book on manhood written in the last three decades.
Not All Heroes Wear Capes
Not all heroes wear capes. Mostly, they’re just everyday people. As we approach International Men’s Day on November 19, take some time to think about the heroes and positive male role models in your life.
Adventure Awaits (Part 1 of 2)
Humans were designed for adventure. Boys and men, especially, are hard-wired for it. That’s why each year, Dads4Kids holds a Dads and Kids Fun Camp.
