"A much-cited Swiss study from the 1990s asked how faith passes between generations, and the answer upset every assumption about gentle piety: The father decides." Sobering words for Christian fathers on this Father's Day: https://t.co/eluBB3r2Yq
Today, Father Tim provides an example from the diary of St. Teresa of Avila about caring for our humanity. This example underscores the importance of caring for our body, as it also supports our spiritual life. #LearnDiscernment
For all their talk about “racial equity,” virtually nobody on the Left wants to address the massive gap between black and white children born to a married mother and father.

That men’s time attending to home and children is trending upwards is indeed a good thing, says John Cuddeback.
But I suggest that the real good of people—youth, adult men and women, and the elderly—calls for a radical shift today in our understanding and practice of homelife, and for a richer kind of paternal involvement

Erica Komisar said something every parent needs to hear:
The greatest gift you can give your kids isn’t perfect parenting. It’s loving your spouse, openly, warmly, with real affection, right in front of them.
Your brain is plastic, especially early on. But even if your child is five, ten, or older, it’s never too late. The sooner you fix the “injury,” the faster real healing happens, just like a sprained ankle. Small changes in how you show up can shift everything almost immediately.
Strong marriages don’t just make kids feel safe. They literally help wire their brains for security and love.
Kids don’t need perfect parents. They need parents who love each other.
What’s your honest take, how much does seeing real love between parents actually shape a child?
One of the greatest superpowers in life is learning not to be offended.
People will criticize you.
Say things you don't like.
Let them.
The moment you stop allowing other people's words and actions to control your happiness and mindset, you take back ownership of your life.
The Vanishing Black Family is officially here! I hosted event today at @Heritage on an issue I cover in the book, specifically how guaranteed income programs for low-income moms write men out of the family story.

🧵My Latest: We are raising children to believe boredom is abnormal. The second a child says, “I’m bored,” many adults rush to solve it with entertainment, screens, activities, or stimulation. But what if boredom is not the problem but rescuing people from it?
