Let this Father’s Day mean more—for you and for others

Let this Father’s Day mean more—for you and for others

We’re officially in what we like to call Father’s Day Season—a time that ramps up in early June and peaks on that special Sunday. Maybe you’re the type who doesn’t think much about Father’s Day until the grill is warming up or you’ve unwrapped a homemade card. That’s okay. But this week, here’s a challenge:

Start thinking beyond yourself. Plan ahead—and plan with purpose.

This isn’t just about dropping hints for a new power tool or mapping out your dream burger stack. It’s also not only about where you’ll eat lunch or which family activity you’ll enjoy (though all those are great).

This is about something more lasting:
Using Father’s Day as a launchpad to promote responsible fatherhood.

Represent the Best of Fatherhood

Let’s be real: fatherhood is in crisis.
Some have even called it a “pandemic.” Across communities, fatherlessness is leaving deep wounds in kids’ lives—emotionally, economically, and spiritually.

You can’t fix every broken family. But you can do something.
Even one encouraging conversation, one lunch with a struggling dad, one welcome to a child who needs male guidance—that’s worth doing. Because it’s not just your Father’s Day; it’s a chance to honor and elevate fatherhood itself.

And yes, you deserve to be celebrated. But you’re also part of a global brotherhood of men who are showing up for their kids and communities. Let’s live like it.

Make Plans. Make Impact.

We’re not saying you need to book a big event (though if you’re near Canton, Ohio, you might check out the Fatherhood Festival hosted by our friend Justin Batt—it’s a weekend packed with fun and meaning).

But what if you just…

• Invite a dad who’s going through a hard time to coffee or lunch?
  
  
• Include a fatherless child in your Father’s Day plans?
  
  
• Help a single mom out—with your kids alongside you?
  
  
• Call your dad (or another father figure) and thank him?
  
  

None of this needs to be big or flashy. It just needs to be intentional. And if it’s going to happen, you probably need to start making a plan now.

Let’s make this Father’s Day not just memorable—for the right reasons.
