About this episode

Missy Eversole interviews Chuck Ammons about understanding God as Father through personal experiences and Scripture.

What if the way we see God as Father has been shaped more by our earthly wounds than by the truth of Scripture? In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy talks with pastor and author Chuck Ammons about his new book, Reconstructing Dad. Chuck shares his personal story of losing his father at a young age, walking through fatherlessness, becoming a dad to five children, and discovering the tender, steady, and faithful heart of God as Father. In this episode, Missy and Chuck discuss: How father wounds can shape the way we see God Why we need to read Scripture through what Chuck calls the Emmaus lens How striving, fear, and anxiety can reveal an orphan mentality Why rest is not laziness, but an invitation to trust the Father Chuck reminds us that bold faith is not always quick obedience with immediate results. Sometimes bold faith looks like holding on to what God planted, even through storms, waiting, refining, and uncertainty. Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!
