The Power and Importance of a Father’s Role in Child Development

God’s Word clearly indicates that fathers bring power to the parenting relationship.

The Power of Permission

Fathers must recognize and exercise the “Power of Permission,” a vital discipline not only for the child’s development but also for the parents’ peace of mind!

The Power of Presence

Sometimes, a parent needs to set his own lifestyle aside and take advantage of the opportunities we have to spend quality time with our kids.

The Power of Perseverance

God doesn’t expect parents to get everything right. But He expects us to keep trying!

The Power of Perception

Training up a child in the way he/she should go doesn’t mean ignoring their natural gifts. Take time to understand and perceive your child’s ways, so that you may guide them to be who they are meant to be.
