In this Rooted Conversation episode, I’m talking about one of the greatest responsibilities we have as fathers — being the first man our daughters will ever love.
I’ll share stories from my own journey as a girl dad and the lessons God continues to teach me about modeling His heart through everyday moments — from how I speak and listen, to how I love my wife, to how I choose to stay when life gets hard.
We’ll look at what Scripture says in Ephesians 5 and Psalm 103, and how our tone, patience, and presence shape the way our daughters see themselves — and ultimately, how they see God.
My prayer is that this episode encourages you to love with more grace, lead with more humility, and see your role as a dad through the lens of God’s faithfulness. Because the way we love our daughters will help define what love looks like for the rest of their lives.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
