Dads and daughters: how a dad can be his daughter’s hero.
In this interview with Focus on the Family, we explore the depth of the father/daughter relationship, offering encouragement to dads and practical ways to connect with daughters. With stories from my ministry to dads as well as my own bond with my dad, I offer hope that you, too, can have a strong relationship with your daughter.
Please watch the entire interview below.
For those who may not know me, here is a little background about my experiences with fathers of daughters:
-
In January 2010 I founded The Abba Project where I lead dads of daughters ages 13 to 30 to dial in with more intention and consistency to their heart space. I lead a local group in Portland, Oregon annually every year from September through May. (you can read more under The Abba Project)
-
I have coached offspring Abba Project groups in Virginia and Washington State, with more to come.
-
I have written a book for dads of daughters titled, Dad, Here’s What I Really Need from You: A Guide for Connecting with Your Daughter’s Heart and it’s also available in audiobook form in my own voice on Audible here.
-
My second book, “Let’s Talk, Conversation Starters for Dads and Daughters” is filled with scripts for dads to equip them to strategically lead their daughters into conversations that matter, with a focus on greater depth that will allow her to know herself better!
-
I host a radio program called The Dad Whisperer where my purpose is to provide practical resources for dads, especially those with daughters. (available here, iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts)
