Society thrives when the family thrives, and family thrives in wholeness and completion. Take the king or queen off a chessboard, and the game doesn't go as it should. You take the queen, and every other piece is exposed and vulnerable. You take the king, and the game is over.
Sadly, we've watched incompleteness in the family increase dramatically. There are certainly many factors at play in that reality, but the one I want to target here is a powerful one. It's the Dad factor.
Too many times, when our presence is needed most, we as Dads have either quit or allowed our game piece to be taken off the board, leaving the rest of the pieces to function at significantly less-than-full strength.
What's the solution? Restoration starts with humble, strong, and faithful men getting back in the game. Men who will love, pour into, and call up sons and daughters to be all they were meant to be. That's the power of a Dad.
