The way a Father interacts with their child is different than a Mother. Both are good, but the way of the Father can be hard because it often involves discipline. We need to renew the way we parent to have a heart of love amidst hard punishments and conversations with our children.

The call to masculinity is a tall one. From fear or lack of masculine formation, young men feel they do not 'measure up' to this call. Secular society offers an easy and cheap way out of this battle: transgenderism.

A father’s work is cultivated in the home, doing the difficult things like creating order, discipline, and structure. A father’s work demands that we engage in family life, not just be casual observers.

What is leadership? In a word, love. Leadership is love.

This post is part of a three part series. See parts one and two. Of all the duties of fatherhood, it is the munus regendi —the duty to shepherd, based on Christ’s role as King—that is most likely to offend modern sensibilities. The father has authority?
