Episode 64 — What Are Fathers For?

When speaking about fatherhood, it is common to neutralise the role played by fathers within a household. Due to various societal and ecclesial differences of opinion we tend to equivocate over precisely what fathers are for, and what they are supposed to do. Following on from the previous episode which discussed the loss of fatherhood in general, this episode sees Andy and Aaron each live-reveal to one another three key points each on what they believe is crucial for what fathers are for, and unpack a little about how fatherhood plays out in practice.
