b'Father\\u2019s Day; it is the one day each year that we honor fathers, a day to tell dad just how much he means to us. But, it is a shame that over 24 million kids, one in three children, growing up in the United States today, have no father present in the household to honor. In this podcast, Tony discusses the Father crisis in America.\\n

Quote: People \\u201clook at a child in need, in poverty or failing in school, and ask, \\u2018What can we do to help?\\u2019 But what we do is ask, \\u2018Why does that child need help in the first place?\\u2019 And the answer is often it\\u2019s because [the child lacks] a responsible and involved father.\\u201d \\u2013Vincent DeCaro\\n

\\u2026Make the way I treat their mother be a model for their future relationships.\\n

\\u2026May I find quality time to spend with my children and understand that \\u201cany time\\u201d is better than waiting for the \\u201cright time.\\u201d\\n

\\u2026May I nurture and guide my children, passing along my faith by making God, church, and service to others, a priority.\\n
