From the Pulpit to the Playground: Reflections on Fatherhood

Hey there, happy Father’s Day. Yeah, it’s Father’s Day. I didn’t get to write this on Father’s Day because I had to write this particular one much later just to tick off the box. It was a busy day. I was serving and had a wonderful experience in the church. It was a day to remember our roles as fathers and to be celebrated. Of course, being a father comes with a lot of responsibilities.

Fuelling Motivation and Achieving Success: Navigating Setbacks

Determined to focus on my goal, I finally decided to work on it yesterday.
