In a world that often sidelines the significance of fatherhood, the impact of an engaged, emotionally present dad cannot be overstated—especially in the life of a daughter. On this empowering episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay, Founder & Executive Director Emeritus of American Heritage Girls, sits down with returning guest and father-daughter relationship expert Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield to explore how dads can become the intentional, godly role models their daughters desperately need. With more than 28 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor and founder of The Abba Project, Dr. Michelle brings rich insight into the unique and irreplaceable role fathers play in shaping their daughter's identity, confidence, and faith. From navigating teenage moods to building trust through everyday conversations, this episode offers practical tools and biblical encouragement for dads who want to connect on a deeper level—even if they feel like it's too late. Dr. Michelle shares powerful testimonies from her work with fathers across the country, highlights the most common roadblocks that keep men from engaging, and outlines simple habits that foster consistency, safety, and spiritual growth in the father-daughter bond. You'll also learn about her must-read book Let's Talk: Conversation Starters for Dads and Daughters and the heart behind her award-winning podcast The Dad Whisperer. Whether you're a dad hoping to reconnect with your daughter, a mom wanting to support that relationship, or a parent craving stronger family bonds rooted in Christ, this episode is a heartfelt reminder: it's never too late to start showing up with purpose.

Today, Karl and Crew continued the weekly theme of “Fathers in the Bible” by discussing how God can break generational curses passed down through families. As followers of Christ, we have a Father who can deliver us from wicked patterns, so long as we turn to Him for guidance. We see this in 2 Kings 21, where we read about King Manasseh, the most wicked king in the Bible. Manasseh chose to do evil in the sight of the Lord, and after his reign, one of his sons, Amon, followed in his footsteps; however, his grandson, Josiah, broke the pattern and sought the Lord throughout his reign as king. We also heard similar stories from our listeners as they called to share how they chose a different path than their family when pursuing the Lord. We then spoke with David Stephens about the importance of discipleship with younger believers. David is a pastor, speaker, and coach with nearly 20 years of experience leading and discipling young adults. He has also authored the book “Getting It Together: 10 Lessons to Help Young Adults Live an Insanely Fruitful Life.” Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield also joined us to discuss the importance of a Father-Daughter relationship. Dr. Canfield is a licensed professional counselor, national speaker, and author. She is also the founder of The Abba Project, a nine-month group forum for dads whose daughters are in their teens and 20s.

Our special guest was Dr. Gary Chapman, well-known marriage counselor, speaker, and award-winning author (The 5 Love Languages). His latest book is called "5 Traits of a Healthy Family". He shared his marriage testimony and offered practical advice and encouragement. We also talked with Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield. She is a licensed professional counselor, speaker, and author.

Coming from a background of abuse by the father figures she trusted, this life-changing encounter with her heavenly Father redeemed the brokenness and set her on the path to her Fierce Calling. Once her relationship with her heavenly Father was restored, He then sent "the one" her way. Powerful and sweet, you won't want to miss this episode!

In the second part of this conversation, Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield leans into the practical actions fathers can take to connect with their daughters. She analyzes how to make 1-on-1s more effective and breaks down three of the most important skills you can implement starting today. Full SHOW NOTES for today's conversation Key Takeaways If your daughter is pushing you away or is estranged, put your love in writing. Soften your tone by starting questions with the words, “I'm wondering…”. Fight for your daughter by proactively putting positive, handwritten messages on her mirror. Your anger has more destructive power than you'll ever know. Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield has dedicated the last 13 years to empowering fathers to turn their hearts toward their daughters. In addition to writing two books for dads of daughters, she is the founder of The Abba Project and has hosted The Dad Whisperer Podcast since 2016. Key Quotes 07:12 - "The power of your written word on her mirror, on the sticky note, or even just writing her little card. Your handwritten messages, in this time of technology, are things that that will... last the test of time." 21:38 - "Drop your anger. I know that's easier said than done, but, Dad, your anger will do more to shut down the core of who she is, to mar her spirit, to defeat her confidence, tear her down. Your anger has more destructive power than you'll ever know."

Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield recognizes that dads need to turn their hearts—not just their heads—towards their daughters. In this episode, she shares several tools you can add to your fatherhood toolbox to engage your daughter's heart. Full SHOW NOTES for today's conversation Key Takeaways When you look into your child's eyes, especially when you're angry, you'll respond differently. Connect with your daughter's heart each night by asking, "How have I been sharp with you today, and will you forgive me?” You will never regret waiting to discipline your child until after you have calmed down. The best antidote to saving your daughter from a dud is engaging her at the heart level. Lead your daughter to laugh, love, look, lament, and listen. Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield has dedicated the last 13 years to empowering fathers to turn their hearts toward their daughters. In addition to writing two books for dads of daughters, she is the founder of The Abba Project and has hosted The Dad Whisperer Podcast since 2016. Key Quotes 7:44 - "But again, we all give out what we have. So if you are in a place where you don't know how to be gentle with yourself or quiet before the Lord to let Him convict you or speak to you, it's going to be harder to give that out. But it starts with you having times, I would say with God, where you listen and soften your heart. Because don't we love how Proverbs 15 says, a soft answer turns away wrath?" 12:29 - "The best antidote to saving your daughter from the dudes and the duds is you engage at a heart level by asking her questions. How did my response impact you? How did that make you feel? All those heart words."

She also closes with a healing prayer for all those that are recovering from trauma and brokenness from the chains of abuse.

Raising teens can be a beautiful endeavor and sometimes an incredible challenge. Raising teens in our modern day world is even more difficult. Not only do we deal with their ever-changing personalities, we also have to be aware of the media that floods their world daily, especially as it relates to their technology. Smartphones have taken over the way a teen views the world. And with thee smartphones are also the potential casualties of sexualized media, ones that we are aware of and others that we are not. I was recently a panelist speaking about how to raise teenagers in a highly sexualized, digital world. I wanted to continue that conversation. Let's take a listen as I chat in The New Lounge with Abou Djaouga, Lanre Oyebanjo, Raynold Mensah, and Eric Henderson. All of these men are very well accomplished in their line of work, but they are even more incredible fathers...and fathers of teens.

She writes guest articles for various online and print journals and magazines, hosts her own radio show/podcast called The Dad Whisperer, and she and her husband Dr. Ken Canfield are soon going to re-launch the Father-Daughter Summit and a Let's Talk curriculum for dads of daughters. We had such a great time chatting today about blended families and her work with dads of daughters. Recently married for the first time, she just realized that she is part of a blended family tribe of twenty-four (24!!)! Michelle shared with us wisdom from her family and from her work, and she gave us numerous immediately practical strategies for helping build better relationships between dads and daughters. We discussed a variety of books and resources that she recommends (links below!), we shared some laughs, and she even graced us with a song at the end (in addition to everything else, she has a great voice and has been a worship leader for years). Michelle has written two books that are specifically aimed at helping improve communication and connectedness between fathers and daughters, and they're both going on my Christmas list! Below are some of the quotes from the episodes as well as links to her work and to the various resources that were mentioned during the interview.
