In this heartfelt Father’s Day episode, Donna Jones sits down with her pastor husband, Dr. JP Jones, to explore the power and purpose of fatherhood. From JP’s painful childhood shaped by an angry, alcoholic father, he shares how God's grace helped him become a compassionate, intentional dad and now, grandfather. His story will bring hope to your story.

Together, Donna and JP discuss why fatherhood is a divine calling, how a dad's love shapes a child's identity, and how women can encourage the men in their lives to grow into godly fathers.

This episode is packed with wisdom, hope, and biblical truth for anyone wanting to build strong families and raise emotionally healthy, faith-filled kids.
