    Matthew 6:3: A New Perspective for Fathers Seeking Approval and Praise

    Ep. 28 Unravel the mysterious phrase "Never Let Your Left Hand Know What Your Right Hand Is Doing." From parenting to interpersonal dynamics, we'll discuss how it encourages trust, open communication, and a balance between individual autonomy and shared responsibilities. Discover the origins of this phrase, rooted in the biblical teachings of the Gospel of Matthew (6:3), where Jesus advises doing acts of charity in secret. We'll delve into its cultural interpretations, examining its relevance in various contexts and its broader meaning over time. In the realm of fatherhood and relationships, we'll explore how this principle emphasizes humility, selflessness, and the significance of acting with sincerity.   Connect with Fatha Torch:  Instagram: @FathaTorch Website: www.fathatorch.com  ABIMILECHH FOUNDATION -Local Programs for Fathers Want to be a sponsor or guest on the podcast?

    Abolish Fear-Based Assumptions in 2023

    Ep 9 Fear-based assumptions can lead to a parent-child relationship of pain, drama and heartache for all involved. As fathers we often lash out at our kids in order to protect them from the unknown, or to prevent them from getting involved with something that we don't understand but are afraid to admit it. In this episode let's explore another way to approach fatherhood in the New Year 1. What does it mean for a father to actively listen to his children and not assume he knows everything? 2. How can fathers instill fear of God and not fear of the world in their daughters? 3. What is the importance of self-control, communication, and emotional connection in fatherhood? As a father of nine, I have come to understand that assumptions about my children, myself, my family, and even my manhood can lead to pain, drama and headaches. I know that I cannot assume that one conversation is enough to teach my children, and I must actively listen and show them love and support. I must also be mindful that although I have experience, it does not make me an expert on my children's lives. I must be adaptable and have self-control, knowing that what I say will affect my children. I strive to speak life, prosperity, liberty, and innate spirit, teaching my children to be secure in themselves, and to be prepared and have the tools needed to protect themselves.  Learn more about your ad choices.

    Stop Being Your Child’s Friend and Start Being Their Leader

    Ep. 17 This episode is a must-listen for parents seeking guidance on discipline and communication with their children. In today's society, many parents walk around on eggshells, and it seems like fathers have no authority when it comes to raising the kids. As an advocate for traditional fatherhood, I have dedicated myself to helping other parents like you reclaim your power and raise kids who respect and obey you.  It's important to establish boundaries and respect, rather than trying to be your child's friend. Issues of teen mental health issues, addiction, and other taboo subjects must be address properly. By advocating for open communication and a supportive community, I believe we can help our children become confident, successful adults.  SPONSORED BY CREATE A PIZZA: home of the FATHA TORCH Lunch Special Try the Vegan Meatball Pizza with Sexy Cheese and a Drink for only $5.99 766 Monroe Ave, Rochester, NY Order Ahead at www.createapizza585.com   Connect with Fatha Torch:  Instagram: @FathaTorch  Website: www.fathatorch.com  ABIMILECHH FOUNDATION -Local Programs for Fathers Loved this episode?

    Discipline, Control + Power: Awareness for Black Men, Young Fathers

    Ep. 27 We must recognize that many of us lack self-awareness and struggle to comprehend the repercussions of losing control, and the importance of practicing self-discipline. To establish a healthy relationship with oneself and others, one must exert self-control and manage one's thoughts, which various emotional and developmental factors can influence. This is especially important to consider as a man and a father in today's world.  THE TRUTH AND FAULTS OF DISCIPLINE   It's essential to discipline your children early on, as you may regret it later if you don't. Additionally, if you find yourself bailing out hot-tempered individuals once, be prepared to do it again. This advice can be found in Proverbs 19:18-19 of the New Living Translation( NLT). ANSWER THE FOLLOWING IN THE COMMENTS  Are you in control of your thoughts, or are they in control of you? Do you struggle to comprehend yourself and your awareness? Is there a support system in your life that you can turn to when you are experiencing difficulties with your emotions and thoughts?   SPONSORED BY CREATE A PIZZA: home of the FATHA TORCH Lunch Special Try the Vegan Meatball Pizza with Sexy Cheese and a Drink for only $5.99 766 Monroe Ave, Rochester, NY Order Ahead at www.createapizza585.com   Podcast Like a Pro!

    Relationships 101: Starting With the Man in the Mirror

    Ep. 26 Relationship 101 provides us with the hope that our values and worth will be acknowledged by someone. It is equally crucial to deeply understand ourselves and the aspects we hold in high regard. It is important to make sure that these values are respected by our partners. Otherwise, we risk compromising our own sense of self-worth and integrity. It is also essential to be open to learning from our partner and growing together in the relationship.   SPONSORED BY CREATE A PIZZA: home of the FATHA TORCH Lunch Special Try the Vegan Meatball Pizza with Sexy Cheese and a Drink for only $5.99 766 Monroe Ave, Rochester, NY Order Ahead at www.createapizza585.com   Podcast Like a Pro!
