Part of the Summer Vibes Series— 5 Minute Episodes to Grow Your Fatherhood! What is a Father Friend—and why should every dad make it his goal? In this episode, we unpack the concept behind the Father Friend model: a vision for fatherhood that balances strength and tenderness, discipline and presence, authority and affection. Too many dads think they must choose between being respected or being close to their kids—but the truth is, great fathering does both. You don’t have to choose between being your child’s father or their friend. You’re called to be both—and we’ll show you how. Discover the mindset, model, and maturity required to lead your children with love and purpose through every stage of their development.
