Restoring the Hearts of Fathers to Their Children

5 Days a Week

In May 1993, Dr. Ken Canfield and the National Center for Fathering began broadcasting succinct three-minute programs to remind listeners that fathers matter. Currently, a growing list of more than 600 radio stations air the daily show.

Today, the Today's Father team features four dads, led by Carey Casey, the Center’s CEO, and three other men who lead different areas of the work at the National Center for Fathering. Each one brings fresh insights and inspiration to the topic of fathering, and between them, they represent a wide range of family situations and experiences. (See below for more information.)

“Thanks for listening, Dad, and keep up the good work!”

Carey Casey

Carey Casey joined the National Center as CEO after 18 years with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Across the country, Casey has earned a reputation as a dynamic communicator and as a compassionate ambassador, especially within the American sports community. For five years he served as co-pastor at Lawndale Community Church in North Lawndale, Ill., where he helped empower the community with health care, housing, education and economic growth. He has been married 31 years and has four children and two grandchildren.

Ken Canfield, founder of the National Center for Fathering, said: "Carey is exactly the leader NCF needs. Over the past 16 years, we built a solid base of research that underlies the materials, curricula, and other tools we developed for fathers. Carey brings the dynamism, the intellect and the talent to open new doors and get those tools to men who need them."
