About this episode

This episode discusses the transformative impact of fatherhood on men and the unique role of fathers in raising children.

For years, many people assumed mothers were biologically wired for parenting while fathers simply learned on the job. But new research is revealing something remarkable: fatherhood changes men, too. In this episode of Facing the Dark , Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore how becoming a dad literally reshapes a man's hormones and heart. More importantly, they discuss why Scripture has always pointed to the unique and complementary role of fathers in raising secure and confident children. Whether you're a dad, a mom, a kid, or simply want to encourage the fathers around you, this conversation offers hope and a renewed vision for one of God's greatest callings.
