Embrace the challenges, gentlemen. Trials are the sculptors of our character and, by the grace of God, builders of our faith.
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” — James 1:2-4

We must embrace the profound truth that “One father” is truly worth more “than a hundred schoolmasters.” Here's to the powerful lessons of love, wisdom, and guidance that fathers impart and the extraordinary influence that good fathers have in shaping hearts and minds.

In 2021, the suicide rate among men was four times higher than females. While men make up roughly 50 percent of the population, they account for nearly 80 percent of suicides. White males accounted for roughly 70 percent of suicides in 2021. It costs us nothing to check in with our fellow brothers from time to time, gents.

J.C. Ryle on Affliction
“True Christians must not expect everything to be smooth on their journey to heaven…[God] has never promised that we shall have no affliction. He loves us too well to promise us that. By affliction he teaches many precious lessons which without it we should never learn. By affliction he shows us our emptiness and weakness, draws us to the throne of grace, purifies our affections, weans us from the world and makes us long for heaven. In the resurrection morn we shall thank God for every storm.”

If you've been a fan of this page for any length of time you've probably gathered that fatherhood is a huge part of the positive vision I seek to cast — "being there."
Current statistics estimated that over 18 million children in the United States are growing up in fatherless homes. This statistic alone is the fountainhead of numerous life-derailing issues.
For example, fatherlessness increases the risk of poverty fourfold, increases the risk of abusing drugs/alcohol and likelihood of incarceration, and drives up the risk of youth suicides. These statistics only scratch the surface, broken hearts aren't quantifiable.
For many fatherless children, nihilism and despair is the chosen path. But Christ speaks a better word. His finished work has reconciled fatherless sons to the Father, the Father in Whom all fatherhood gets its name. In Him the fatherless find mercy.

“Old Neptune, He's Roaring"
“‘That they may be seen of men;’ that they may be set upon a theatre for others to admire and canonize them. The oil of vainglory feeds their lamp. How many by the wind of popular breath have been blown to hell! Whom the devil cannot destroy by intemperance, he does by vainglory.”
— Thomas Watson
Adversity toughens manhood, and the characteristic of the good or the great man is not that he has been exempt from the evils of life, but that he has surmounted them.

"A strong confidence in the end of the story does not undo or justify the absence of grief in the middle. A mature faith adds its tears to the sadness in our world. Jesus said 'blessed are those who mourn' all the while not losing confidence in how that sadness will eventually be overcome in Him."
