Fathers play an essential role in the lives of their children and spouses. This week in honor of Father’s Day Timothy Hall and Tim Challies join Brad and Victor to discuss the tremendous importance of fatherhood. Both fathers speak from the perspective of someone who has lost a child and share how they have used their experience to fight for life and encourage other men.

Fathers in the Mix
There are many factors affecting a woman’s decision whether or not to have an abortion. One of the most underestimated and underused tools to save unborn babies is the child’s father.
During the Forty Days for Life’s Lenten campaign, a real-life situation unfolded at a Bloomington, Indiana abortion facility that serves as an excellent case in point.
The Anguish of Forgotten Fathers
Americans love to celebrate Father’s Day. We delight in honoring those men who by the Creator’s design are fulfilling their call to provide for and protect their families.
In the midst of our celebrations let us remember the anguish of the Forgotten Fathers.
Research on men involved with an abortion decision revealed that eight percent are seriously adversely impacted by the event. This means that nearly five million men are “walking wounded” struggling emotionally to get through each day.
