Fatherhood is huge. 
At the risk of sounding like Trump, it really is huge to be and try to be, a great dad. What greater weight, sobriety and inspiration is there than to hold your firstborn child? To be a father is to be like God in so many ways. In arguably the most meaningful way a human can be like God. No one enters life a dad. We must have been sons first. So we bring sonship into fatherhood, for better or worse, clueless or overconfident. Many of us bristle at the thought that we are "just like Dad," and we need interpretation, a roadmap, and advisors more than ever. We need people and principles. We desperately need interpretation if we are to father our children with a whole heart, a heart that can meet needs of our children, a heart that fills more than it drinks. Will we stick to pursuing mentorship and fathering? What is set against fathering our children from a whole heart? Please comment about the enemies to your own fatherhood, the victories, and ideas you have.
