Confessions of Fatherhood



Anthony Bradley:

Most evangelical churches foster environments where men are not free to struggle and, therefore, would not produce such a realistic conversation about fatherhood by men who know they need all that the church as to offer.
This Crossroads video, at the moment, receives the most views by 13-to-17-year-olds? Why? Teens long for this type of honesty and instead they are trapped in churches where the public persona is "I'm ok." Test this.
