Everyone can have a positive influence.
As we celebrate fatherhood, there may be men who feel left out. They are great individuals who have tremendous influence in others’ lives, but they are not dads.
They may serve as coaches and mentors, and we owe them a thank you. These individuals are living out the challenge of Romans 14:7-8. “For we do not live for ourselves or die for ourselves. If we live it is to honor the Lord and if we die it is to honor the Lord, so whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”
Thank you to those men who are having a positive influence in our communities even though they do not have kids.
- They are helping set a Godly example.
- They are encouraging the people with whom they interact.
- They are reaching out and helping when they see others in need.
Thank you for taking advantage of the influence you have to make the world a better place.

Thanks for this, Chris. I’ve had several dad-like figures throughout my life. My natural father was not a super-spiritual person—though he was a good man. However, God provided a “Paul” type figure for me when I needed it. Blessings.
Good job on you father posts.
