In this stirring Father's Day sermon, Jr. Shaw reflects on what it truly means to be a father through the lens of Scripture and personal experience. From the role of the earthly father as protector and nourisher, to the deeper spiritual parallel of our relationship with our Heavenly Father, this message challenges listeners to honor, reflect, and realign. With honest stories, biblical truth, and soul-searching insight, this episode speaks to sons, fathers, and everyone in between.
You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how earthly fatherhood shapes our spiritual walk, and how listening to our Heavenly Father leads to life, wisdom, and joy.
