I agree brother. Men must take control step up and be fathers instead of running away. Just became a stepfather and I am so proud of the girl that I'm taking responsibility for. She knows I cannot replace her dad and she understands I'm not blood related. She also knows and understand that I love her and that love shines through Jesus. We pray attend church and I am soon giving her a promise ring.

[@JukeDenton]

​@@mightyeagle51 A "Christian message" doesn't automatically make a good movie. In fact chances are, most of the time, those messages tend to lean towards being dogmatic and hamfisted in execution to where it's pandering to a specific target audience of what they want to hear (hence the phrase, "preaching to the choir"). That's why movies like God's Not Dead, Do you Believe?, and War Room don't work (and also because of other elements like trite humor, bad writing, and scatterbrain storytelling). Now, that's not to say that there can't be good religious movies, in fact I want to see some decently made ones. If you want some good examples of movies that work within the context of centering around religious aspects, look at The Prince of Egypt (1998) and Silence (2016). Both know how to work as individual pieces of cinematic art and well crafted storytelling that aren't afraid to push boundries. So telling me that a movie works simply because of it's message doesn't cut it for me. That's like telling me that Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a masterpiece because of the political and social commentaries spread throughout the movie (which by the way I absolutely hated). So I hope that this little essay gives you some understanding as to why I don't agree with your statement.

It's not always easy to be a father. Many times you have to do things you don't want to do, like work a job you don't want to do just to pay the bills. It's hard but you do it cause you love your kids. We have a generation of men who need to understand that, as a man, you do what you have to do to make ends meet. Lots of men don't take care of business cause they might have to work jobs they don't like. Look guys, it's called the real world and a man does whatever it takes to get the job done, regardless of how you feel. Grow up and take responsibility for your kids. They need you to provide a good example of what it means to be a man. Stop your whining and get it done. Stop your complaining and get it done.

I didn't see the movie all the way through, but its good after watching clips. I'm not even a Christian but watching Touched by an Angel almost everyday has made me my own Christian and still support those who are judge by those who abused the bible. There are some children that grew up without fathers and not end up on the wrong road. But the main character is right that fathers need to be there for their children even if they're not married to the mother or not, and mothers sacrifice alot so they won't stray and make the same mistakes, which every fatherless child fears they would make the same mistake. The ones that didn't stray were lucky because there were father figures in the form of grandfathers, uncles, godfathers, mentors, teachers, neighbors, and the fathers of your friends. To those who ended up on the wrong road its hard to get off but you should know that one father will not leave you is God even if you believe in his existence or not. God is a judge who loves his children for who they are and who they are with. He can help if you let him in. Let God be your father and your friend, let God heal your anger, and let God change your heart 👨‍👧‍👦🙏🕊️

this made me cry my father left on my first birthday

Christopher Unger-Barr sorry to hear about your father. just remember that you still have your eternal Father in heaven. God bless you

[@Adam-bq2vw]

Also remember that YOU can be in someone else's life that which was missing from your own. It's a way to heal.

In my case is different but also painful. My dad showed his real personality some months ago. He left the family and started a new relationship with a 24 year old woman (who has the same age as my sister). He is almost 60 years old and had a beautiful marriage of 32 years. He is now cold to me, to my sister and to my mom. He is not the father that he used to be. I don't recognize him anymore......

+Mel Anie i don't know all that you go through, but while yes, what he did was wrong, i pray you find it in your heart to forgive him. for if not for those who don't deserve it, who then is forgiveness for? God bless

[@Adam-bq2vw]

+Mel Anie I'm so sorry.

LET every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Romans 13:1 The power delivered to a new father falls under this scripture. There is an anointing that comes with the position of Dad. Children should be taught this verse. Fathers should understand this verse. Yet, most of the time, it is applied only to secular government leaders...if at all. After watching this video, God brought my attention to this verse. I had never considered it before. I don't think it was just for me. All fathers fall directly under the chain of command of OUR HEAVENLY FATHER... WOW... That's heavy... One of the highest compliments I ever got was from my son Nate. He called me one day to tell me that he wanted to apologize. When I asked why? He said: "Because everything you tried to tell me that I told you were crazy, I finally figured out on my own that what you told me was all true." Nate was killed on Interstate 94....2 months later. Age 38. Tow Truck Operator on a "routine" recovery.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL !!!!!

This is from a friend who sale this movie, i feel inadequate my wife is the bread winner of the house and I stay home and keep it clean. I feel inadequate because as my wife brings home the paycheck I'm at home with my kids and every day I hear the whispers behind my back calling me a deadbeat a bad influence of what a father and man should be. It's hard because I try to teach my children to lead godly life yet I feel like I am a hypocrite in this. I support my wife in her pursuits but at times I feel like I hold her back. Seeing this movie which opted me to keep trying also shows that I am not what a father should be in their perspective. I ask you am I truly being a true father in gods eyes if I'm the stay at home father? My best friend who is a house husband/stay at home father.

What do you think your heavenly Father would say? If you and your wife are in agreement with the arrangement and you've prayed together asking Him to guide you in it and you have peace it makes no difference what others think. Only His opinion matters. That doesn't mean you don't pursue your God-given purpose while you are doing it. That could be a part-time job, ministry, etc. It's not a weakness, it's actually a strength. If you are able to walk in that despite the judgement of others and have His peace in the midst who do you think is farther along in their Christian walk? Them or you?
