Do most men need fatherhood to become the man God wants for them to be?

The conversation around becoming a father is getting framed these days as a "lifestyle choice".

But...

That's ridiculous.

Fatherhood is one of the hardest things you can do, which means it fits in perfectly with how God reveals meaning to us.

You have to go through the Cross to get to the Resurrection.

So why are so many men choosing to forego the incredible, meaningful, and yes, difficult journey of fatherhood?

There are a few people who are connecting a couple of dots here in the secular culture, including Chris Williamson of Modern Wisdom, so in this episode, we react to a few viral takes on fatherhood, and connect ALL the dots to understand God's design for family.

On this episode, we talk about:
