If I were to compare the Olympic decathlon to fatherhood, I would say fatherhood is a lot tougher.
Defining and celebrating the New Father are by far the most popular ideas in our contemporary discourse on fatherhood. Father as close and nurturing, not distant and authoritarian. Fatherhood as more than bread winning. Fatherhood as new-and-improved masculinity. Fathers unafraid of feelings. Fathers without sexism. Fatherhood as fifty-fifty parenthood, undistorted by arbitrary gender divisions or stifling social roles.
But after about a year praying, there was just this clear direction. The leadership team believed that God was leading us to focus on fatherhood. If God is leading, then God will provide. So we begin to get storyline ideas that lined up with the subject of fatherhood that we're working on and fitting, and we were thinking, okay this is good. At the same time, as we are studying scriptures and we're on our journey as fathers, we are learning about fatherhood every day.
I've certainly had less practice at fatherhood than I have at acting, but in fatherhood, at least my failures are private!
To recover the fatherhood idea, we must fashion a new cultural story of fatherhood. The moral of today's story is that fatherhoodis superfluous. The moral of the new story must be that fatherhood is essential.
Maintaining marriage seems to be tougher than fatherhood: apparently its the most difficult thing in the world.

If you were placing bets on which author would write the tenderest, most moving book about fatherhood, Philip Roth would probably come in at the bottom of the list.
Men, to exist, to become complete and mature, need to feel the joy of fatherhood. When a man does not have this desire, something is missing in this man, it is like an incomplete life: a life that stops half way. The grace of fatherhood; of giving life to others, of pastoral paternity, of spiritual paternity is a gift from God.
Fatherhood has changed me a lot.
My father tells me I would have been a criminal or a kick-boxer. But fatherhood has changed me - a lot.
Some guys didn't have fathers. Some guys grew up with great dads but the weight of fatherhood shifts onto their shoulders because they make millions now. Some guys are away from their kids or divorced. I'm letting them all know they aren't alone when it comes to fatherhood issues and to encourage them to make time for their kids.
Of course, fatherhood fundamentally changes a lot of your life, but it enriches you, too.
I don't want to look back and say, 'Yeah, I was really successful, but I failed at fatherhood because I wasn't there.'
If I'd have known how much fun fatherhood would be, I would have started way earlier than 45.
That's a win for me, for people to be able to say, 'Faith, fatherhood, monogamy exists in hip-hop.'
I think fatherhood would change anybody when you have your first son. It's been amazing.
