Notas del episodio

"Just providing" for one's family—focusing solely on financial provision—is a dangerous myth. Working long hours and simply paying the bills is not enough to truly fulfill a father’s calling. Emotional and relational needs within the family can be neglected when financial provision becomes the only priority!
