A lot of us will arrive at that point when we realize: "we"ve turned into our dad." Depending on who you are, this might be something you"d welcome and even aspire to, something you laugh at, something you resist, or something that is one of your greatest fears " or that you"d even consider a tragedy. Regardless of the father that each of us had, the best thing a father can do is help their child grow in resemblance of their heavenly father. Becoming like our heavenly father is a beautiful goal for life. This Father"s Day weekend, we"ll hear from Executive Pastor Luke Erickson, and his Dad, Dave Erickson, who will together share some key ways that dads and anyone with influence can help their kids and those they"re leading be shaped in the image of their heavenly father.
