How Do You Become a Good Father If You Never Had One? Happy Father's Day

I never wanted to be a father. I grew up with a cold, distant dad and spent years convinced I would repeat the pattern. Then I became one anyway. Now I'm an OFW working in China while my daughter is in the Philippines — missing the dinners, the advice, the ordinary moments a father is supposed to be there for.This video is for every father carrying something like that.We walk through what Scripture actually says about fatherhood — Deuteronomy 6's picture of a present father, Paul's charge in Ephesians 6:4, and the watching, running father in Luke 15 who never stopped looking down the road. We also speak directly to fathers who grew up with a broken dad themselves, using Ezekiel 18, Psalm 27, and Romans 8. And we speak to every OFW father loving his child from across an ocean.Provision is love. God is not limited by geography. And the cycle can break — in you.📖 Scripture from the World English Bible (WEB)Para sa bawat amang nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa — nagmimiss sa anak, nagdadala ng guilt tuwing Father's Day — ang Diyos ay nakakakita sa iyong sakripisyo.(For every father working in another country — missing his child, carrying guilt every Father's Day — God sees your sacrifice.)🎧 Calm, verse-by-verse format — perfect for your commute or quiet time abroad📺 Watch more: https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD🌐 www.biblechapterbychapter.comWhat does the Bible actually say about being a good father when you are starting from a deficit—or when you are loving your children from thousands of miles away?
