Fatherhood
from Church? Hell No Hosted by Dennis Hall
The day after Father’s Day the national news reported six people were killed and dozens injured in weekend shootings across the U.S. Dr. Dennis Hall explains that he was prompted to wonder how many came from fatherless homes. Nearly 30% of all homes in the United States are fatherless. 40% of all births in the United States occur outside of marriage. 54% of children born in the US reach their 17th birthday without a married mom and dad in the house. The tragic results of fatherless homes are vastly higher rates of incarceration for boys and drastically higher teenage pregnancy rates for girls, increased drug and alcohol abuse, and poor educational achievement. America has the highest percentage of fatherless homes in the world. The collapse of the American family is believed to be the root cause of the decline in church attendance. Dr. Hall lays out the biblical vision of fatherhood. He concludes the podcast by encouraging fathers to emulate their Heavenly Father and pray that God will make them the best fathers they can be in their circumstances.
