E12: Special Father’s Day Episode (Part II): Spiritual Fatherhood, Forgiveness, and the Power of Presence

In Part II of this powerful Father’s Day series, Pastor Jonathan Denton, Phil Lanides, William Mundy, and Aaron Wojcik return to continue their vulnerable and Christ-centered conversation on the role of fathers, husbands, and godly men.

This episode dives into spiritual fatherhood—the idea that even when earthly fathers are absent, men in the church can rise up to provide love, mentorship, and guidance to the next generation. Through personal stories, biblical reflection, and practical advice, the hosts explore how healing, forgiveness, and intentionality can reshape families and communities for the better.

Whether you're a dad, a mentor, or someone who grew up without a strong father figure, this episode will speak to your heart.

📌 Key Topics:
– What it means to be a spiritual father
– Why the church needs men to step up for the fatherless
– Forgiving your own parents to become a better parent
– Personal stories of men stepping in to fill the void
– Honoring your parents—even when they've fallen short
– Quality time vs. quantity (of) time with your children
– Asking your kids: “What can I do to be a better dad?”
– Prioritizing your marriage to strengthen your family
– The distraction of social media and reclaiming communication
– Final advice for dads: presence, healing, fun, and connection

💬 There’s a gap where fatherhood should be. But God can use men in the church to step in and stand in that space.
