Why Dads Matter: The Gift of Fathers

What makes a father’s role so meaningful in a child’s life? In this episode of Faith Footnotes, we talk with Emily Krill, author of Why God Made Dads, about the value of fathers and father figures and the everyday ways they shape the lives of children. From simple, ordinary moments to lifelong influence, Emily reflects on how dads provide care, guidance, and consistency—and how those relationships can point children to the love of their Heavenly Father. Whether you’re a dad, a parent, or someone who plays an important role in a child’s life, this conversation offers encouragement and a reminder of the lasting impact those relationships can have.
