Podcasts about The Good Father

Megan J. Conner reminds us that even in our deepest trials, God is at work revealing Himself to us. Drawing from the story of Job, she explores how suffering—though painful and bewildering—can lead to a greater understanding of God’s majesty, faithfulness, and love. True blessing isn’t always the resolution we hope for, but the unveiling of God’s presence in our lives. ✨ Highlights How suffering can draw us closer to God and fortify our faith Job’s story as a model for lament, honesty, and perseverance in hardship The “unveiled blessing”: seeing God more fully through trials Biblical encouragement to trust God even when life seems unendurable Scriptures for reflection: Job 42:1-6, Rom. 5:3-5, Jer. 29:11

Alexis A. Goring reminds us that when we mess up, God meets us with compassion, grace, and mercy—not condemnation. Reflecting on a personal story from her time at Williams-Sonoma, Alexis draws a beautiful parallel to how God gently asks, “Are you okay?” before addressing our mistakes. Through Scripture and the inspiring song “Savior to Me” by Kerrie Roberts, she highlights God’s enduring love and His desire to restore what feels broken. ✨ Highlights The power of compassion over condemnation when we make mistakes How God’s heart is like a caring friend who checks on us first (“Are you okay?”) Biblical assurance of God’s mercy and grace that renews every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23) The hope found in Jesus Christ, the Savior who understands our pain and restores us A reminder that God can heal what we thought was permanently broken

Matthew 7:7-11 God is our gracious provider and our sovereign King. We must bring every request to Him in full confidence that He is a Good Father who knows and provides what we need. 

Megan J. Conner reminds us of the incredible truth that the Creator of the universe calls us His own. Through Scripture like 1 John 3:1 and Romans 8:17, we’re invited to embrace our identity as beloved sons and daughters of God. This devotional explores God’s intentional design for relationship, His relentless pursuit to reconcile us through Christ, and His promise of an eternal inheritance. Whether you’ve struggled with feelings of unworthiness or wrestled with viewing God as a loving Father, this message will help you rest in His unconditional, everlasting love. ✨ Highlights The biblical foundation for belonging in God’s family (1 John 3:1, Gen. 2:18) How God’s love restores intimacy broken by sin through Jesus’ sacrifice Our inheritance as heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17) Encouragement for those whose earthly relationships make trusting God difficult Key verses affirming God’s faithfulness and unconditional love (Jer. 31:3, Rom. 5:8, 1 John 4:16, John 3:16)

Goring reflects on Psalm 121:7 and explores how God, like a loving parent, shields us from dangers—both seen and unseen.

It is easy to miss the context in which Jesus was telling this oft-told parable. Once the significance is recognised, it becomes apparent that Jesus is describing a Good, Good Father.

Apple in China by Patrick McGee After struggling to build its products on three continents, Apple was lured by China's seemingly inexhaustible supply of cheap labor. Soon it was sending thousands of engineers across the Pacific, training millions of workers, and spending hundreds of billions of dollars to create the world's most sophisticated supply chain. These capabilities enabled Apple to build the 21st century's most iconic products—in staggering volume and for enormous profit. Without explicitly intending to, Apple built an advanced electronics industry within China, only to discover that its massive investments in technology upgrades had inadvertently given Beijing a power that could be weaponized. In Apple in China, journalist Patrick McGee draws on more than two hundred interviews with former executives and engineers, supplementing their stories with unreported meetings held by Steve Jobs, emails between top executives, and internal memos regarding threats from Chinese competition. The book highlights the unknown characters who were instrumental in Apple's ascent and who tried to forge a different path, including the Mormon missionary who established the Apple Store in China; the “Gang of Eight” executives tasked with placating Beijing; and an idealistic veteran whose hopes of improving the lives of factory workers were crushed by both Cupertino's operational demands and Xi Jinping's war on civil society. Apple in China is the sometimes disturbing and always revelatory story of how an outspoken, proud company that once praised “rebels” and “troublemakers”—the company that encouraged us all to “Think Different”—devolved into passively cooperating with a belligerent regime that increasingly controls its fate. The Good Father by Liam McIlvanney Gordon and Sarah Rutherford are normal, happy people with successful fulfilling lives. A son they adore, a house on the beach, a safe, friendly and honest community in a picture-postcard town on the Ayrshire coast. Until one day Bonnie the lab comes in from the beach alone. Their son Rory has just gone - the only trace left is a single black Adidas slider. Their lives don't fall apart immediately - while there's still hope (and no body) they can dig deep and try to carry on. Rather it's a process of abrasion, a wearing away of that happiness and normality; a slow degradation, a gradual breakdown - until they'll never be the people they were before. This sort of tragedy impacts a whole town - does the community still feel the same after? What are folk saying about you? Who are your friends? Who can you trust? When the worst thing has happened and you've lost everything, you either go under or you rebuild, start again. What could be worse than your child disappearing?

Hey friends,This episode is a love letter to the incredible men who've shaped me—and so many of us—through their steady presence, quiet strength, and unconditional love. I'm reflecting on the impact of fathers, and sharing some personal stories about my own dad and the beautiful lessons I've learned from the way he showed up in my life.We talk about what it really means to be a father—not just biologically, but emotionally and spiritually. Whether it's a dad, a stepdad, an adoptive father, or a father figure, the influence these men have on our confidence, our resilience, and our sense of self is immeasurable.I truly believe that when fathers are engaged, loving, and supportive, it creates a ripple effect that touches every part of a child's life—from emotional well-being to academic success. And it's not just about the kids—great fathers are incredible partners, too. I've seen that firsthand in my own marriage and in the lives of friends who are raising children with men who show up every single day.This episode is full of love, gratitude, and celebration. It's for the dads who are doing the work, who are present and consistent, and who might not always hear how much they matter—but they do. So much.With love,DianaTakeawaysFathers play a crucial role in children's emotional and academic success.Strong male figures provide stability and support in families.Personal experiences shape our understanding of fatherhood.Engaged fathers positively impact their children's lives.Fatherhood comes in many forms: biological, adoptive, and stepfather.A good father is a steady presence in a child's life.Celebrating the efforts of fathers is essential.Parenthood is about active involvement, not just babysitting.Having a supportive partner enhances parenting experiences.Fatherhood is a significant and rewarding responsibility.Keywordsfatherhood, parenting, strong men, family support, father figures, emotional impact, childhood memories, engaged parenting, blended families, importance of fathers

Send us a textYour Heavenly Father sees you, knows you, and has a purpose for your life. This Father's Day message delves into the profound truth that God is the perfect model of fatherhood—one who gives fish instead of serpents, eggs instead of scorpions.What does it mean to be a good father? Through personal stories of fishing adventures and campfire devotionals, we explore how earthly fathers can reflect God's heart to their children. The challenge for every man is clear: Will you speak blessing or curse? Will you provide nourishment or poison? Will you pass down generational brokenness or break the cycle through surrender to Christ?Luke 11 reminds us that even imperfect fathers know how to give good gifts to their children—how much more will our Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask! This empowerment is what transforms ordinary men into extraordinary fathers who can say with confidence, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."Whether you're a father struggling with your own father wounds or seeking to leave a godly legacy for your children, this message offers hope. True courage isn't found in stoic independence but in humble dependence on God. It's found in asking forgiveness when you fail, getting back up when you fall, and modeling authentic faith for the next generation.The greatest Father's Day gift you can give your family isn't material possessions but a heart fully surrendered to Jesus. Join us as we discover how to knock on the right doors, seek God's direction, and live as men who reflect our good, good Father.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

A teaching on the biblical truths and expectations of fatherhood.

"If you've ever wondered what God is really like, start with Jesus." Eric Wayman

Today (on Fathers Day) Andrew shared with us how God is the best definition of a good Father. But also our words and experiences shapes how we understand fatherhood and function in that role.For more information visit ChristCommunity.Life

What comes to mind when you hear the word father? For some, it evokes love, strength, and protection. For others, it may stir memories of absence, pain, or longing. No matter your earthly experience, the Bible invites us to see God as the model of a good Father—faithful, present, generous, and loving. The post A Good Father appeared first on Ottawa Church of Christ.

MTI Athletes Dan and Derrick join Rob and Charlie to explore the multifaceted nature of fatherhood, discussing what it means to be a good dad, the emotional connections with children, and the responsibilities fathers hold for their children's successes and failures. They delve into personal experiences, the impact of their own fathers, and the balance between being a provider and being emotionally present. The discussion also touches on the differences in raising sons versus daughters, the importance of trust, and the personal growth that comes with fatherhood. With insights from research on fatherhood, they discuss the significance of emotional engagement and presence over mere provision. The participants discuss the importance of emotional availability, the role of play in father-son connections, and the challenges of coaching children. They also touch on the significance of mentorship, the impact of absentee fathers, and the modeling of behaviors such as risk-taking. The discussion highlights modern parenting challenges, including the influence of technology and social media on children, and concludes with reflections on the future of fatherhood and the importance of social connections. ----more----   Mountain Tactical Institute Home Check out the MTI Athlete Team Apply to be a Paid MTI Athlete MTI's Daily Programming Streams

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 – Christ Will Return.  Galatians 3:29 – An Heirs to the Promise. 2 Corinthians 10:5 – I Take Every Thought Captive. Proverbs 3:11-12 – God Trains You Like a Good Father. John 16:33 – True Peace Comes From God.

Today's Promise: Proverbs 3:11-12 Many people think that God's discipline is God punishing His children. Every problem they encounter is seen as God's judgment. When something terrible happens, their first thought is that God is punishing them. They don't see God as the loving Father who desires the best for them. This verse is more about training than punishment. God is always working in your life for your good. God allows various trials in your life to build your faith and trust in Him. As your faith is tested, it grows and develops.
