The King's Hall is a very conservative and reformed podcast that addresses Fatherhood from the perspective of building a lineage and leaving a legacy. They discuss everything from friends to finances, all from a Biblical and conservative perspective. They can be a bit extreme on female roles in the home so be ready to listen with that caution in mind.

This is an academic read and not for the faint of heart. However, it is well worth your time and really lays out a chronological history of the decline of Fatherhood in America. The author is a believer, but it is not written from a Christian perspective, although that comes out from time to time. This book answers so many philosophical, economic, and political questions that have led us to where we are today.

A phase is a timeframe in kids' lives when you can leverage distinctive opportunities to influence their future. That means the whining infant, the dramatic fifth grader, and the stressed-out tenth grader are not just going through a phase that should be wished away. Instead, they are transitioning through a critical phase that you are called to discover, celebrate, and navigate strategically with them. This book presents a challenge to churches to treat every kid who breathes like they are made in the image of God.
