“Dad, I never really knew you.”

For too many dads, this is the legacy left behind to our children.

For a dad who was mostly absent during their childhood, their memories of him are few, consisting mainly of their dad consumed with his work, hobby, sports, ministry, or some other priority… but which communicated to his children… “you are less important.”

For other children, their dominant memories of dad include anger, violence, abuse, or addictions that kept him in bondage and feared by his children.

An absent dad or abusive dad does not have to be the legacy you leave your children. Instead, your legacy can be…

“Dad, Your impact on my life was outstanding… Thank You!”

Beginning this coming Father’s Day, only three weeks away, you have a unique opportunity to be encouraged, challenged, and equipped to become a better husband and father at the first ever 5-night online webinar event for dads…

The Dad Summit

Men will gather online in a webinar environment for five nights to hear from top national men’s ministry leaders who have a passion and a burden for helping men be better husbands and fathers.

Topics addressed will include how men gain identity, the impact of father power, practical “real-world” marriage tips for men, money issues in our current economy, discipling our children, victory over sexual temptation, and more. Each session will also include Q&A from participants, giving you a unique opportunity to dialogue with the speakers with your most urgent questions.

We want you to be with us at this first ever large-scale virtual event for dads. Because FamilyDads is hosting this event, you can register for the Dad Summit and receive a special $5 off registration during checkout by simply entering this coupon code: familydadsblog5

Each of our speakers has recording a special mp3 audio overview of their sessions which you can access at http://www.DadSummit.com

For Moms… 

Even though FamilyDads is geared just for us dads, we know that some moms also read these posts just to check it out or to get insights and ideas for encouraging their husbands. So as a mom, maybe one of your biggest questions is “How can I help my husband be more involved in our family?” or “How can my husband gain more vision to lead our family?”

If you’ve ever asked these questions, why not register your husband for the Dad Summit as a special Father’s Day gift?!

It could have eternal impact on your family for generations to come!

As you know, this past Sunday was Father’s Day.

It was a moving experience for me. My oldest son, who just turned 10, spent over $16 of his own money for a card and gift for me. If you knew my so, you would know that is a lot of money for him to spend on someone other than himself.

In my card, he hand wrote I was the best dad in the world.

Priceless!

My other 2 children also picked out their own cards and hand wrote love notes to me.

I am a blessed man.

Perhaps you were showered with appreciation and affection from your own children… or maybe you weren’t.

In any event, here is a belated Father’s Day gift for you, from one dad to another.

It is a music video of a song recently written by well-known Christian musician Stephen Curtis Chapman.

The song is called “Cinderella” and truly brings into perspective raising daughters.

Let me forewarn you though. If you have a daugther, you are likely going to be an emotional wreck after watching this.

Enjoy–
