Trinity Family Conference 2022 | 4. Fatherhood and Failure | Dr. Renton Rathbun

This year’s Trinity Family Conference focuses on one of the family’s most attacked and villainized positions: the father. Our conference is designed to help families address real problems men face in leading the home as well as arming them with the tools to continue the work of fatherhood in a spiritual war against the original Father.

Fatherhood and Failure
Dr. Renton Rathbun
Godly fathers long to see their children grow up to be godly adults. We may have even sacrificed extensively for them to realize that end. And yet, 64% of our children walk away from the faith—walk away from all we have taught them. But God is not finished with them, and God is not finished with us.
