Healing the Father Wound (Skill 1)

Every child desires a dad. What boy doesn’t want a father who will teach him how to play sports, cheer him on from the stands, teach him how to build things, show him how to hunt or camp, and tell him he is the greatest son ever? What girl doesn’t want a father who will cherish her, be available for her and active in her life. Someone who’s able and willing to protect her and joyfully provide for her, yet who’s patient, present and engaged. 

Our souls were designed to be loved by a loving father. This primal father-need in us all cannot be downplayed, diminished or dismissed. It was placed there by God. The good news is, that God--our True Dad--is strong enough, tender enough, concerned enough, wise enough, wealthy enough, patient enough, and engaged enough to fulfill every father-need in our soul and lovingly father us through anything our earthly dad(s) didn’t.  In this episode Joel and Shannon discuss the Father wound and how to heal it.
