Strong Dad June: 8 Reasons Fatherly Leadership is Needed Now More than Ever
While it may frustrate some men to hear women declare they don't need men, this is far from accurate. Society greatly benefits from strong male figures and dedicated fathers. Fortunately, countless men rise to the occasion and make positive contributions. Your efforts are deeply appreciated. Here are eight reasons why you, particularly as fathers, are vital and how American society thrives under your guidance.
Reason #1: God gave you the job
God knew what he was doing when he made you men leaders, fathers, husbands and masculine.
If the argument is that women act too masculine, we need you to step it up so we can go back to our femineity trusting, you got it as you act in your duty, obligation, calling and desire to shape your own legacy.
The Lord created fathers to be a living, breathing display of who He is: a protector, a provider and a leader. And while some earthly fathers fail, many strive to live out God’s plan for fatherhood, even though it’s a pretty tall order. So God Made a Father (for Your Dad this Father's Day) - May Patterson
Women, whether married or not, are not fathers. That is a man’s job and only he can do it.
We need fathers to be who God designed you to be so that we women can be who we are called to be.
Consider what God asks fathers to do:
Provide for their families (1 Tim. 5:8)
Love sacrificially (Eph. 5:25-33)
Teach their children about the Lord (Eph. 6:4)
Encourage their children (Col. 3:21)
Talk about God’s word, often (Deut. 6:6-9)
Appreciate their children (Ps. 127:3-5)
Guide their families in serving the Lord (Josh. 24:15)
Set a good example (Prov. 20:7)
Love their children enough to discipline them (Prov. 13:24; 19:18)
Lead their families as Christ leads the church (Eph. 5:23) So God Made a Father (for Your Dad this Father's Day) - May Patterson
God knows what he is asking of you and he will provide what you need to do it. He chose you before you were made in your mothers womb. And we as a society need you more now than ever.
Reason #2: Build Strong Trust
Security comes from a dad that is reliable and around all the time. He comes home from work, does chores, plays with the kids and is a source to look to for comfort.
The world is a dangerous place and dad usually is the one that get early attachment to from their fears, worries and more. It even lasts into adulthood.
“Fathers are one of the first attachments that young children make,” says Dr. Jessica Myszak, a child psychologist and The Help and Healing Center director in Glenview, Illinois. “This early attachment helps form the basis for future relationships in the child’s life. Through their earliest relationships, children learn that they can trust and depend on others.” The Role of a Father: Responsibilities and Importance | Psych Central
I do not need my husband for everything.
I need him for who he is and what he can do that I cannot. Our children need that as well. It is okay if they go to him sometimes for things and they see how different we discipline, teach, mentor and react to situations. It is not bad or good but it is the difference between our beings that balance children.
Reason #3: Leading by Example
Men are saying they are walking away from women.
How do you then teach your sons how to be in a marriage if it hold no more value to you?
Many boys are being taught from women or men who are walking. Who is going to teach our sons how to be husbands if men give up?
In a vaccuum or absent male, women step up. As much as men complain about single mothers, women bosses and women in leadership roles, I ask where are the men?
Kids follow the example of their first authority figures. Boys learn how to be men, fathers and husband watching their dads, daughters learn how to be treated by men based on their relationship with their father.
Fathers lead by being the man that their kids can emulate. They walk in empathy, patience and integrity; doing what they say they will do so their kids can trust in them.
Fathers who exemplify good and healthy relationships teach their children to expect and demand the same for type of respect for themselves.
Reason #4: Treat their Children and their Childrens’ mother with Respect
Bitterness repels. And I understand why so many men feel the need to leave women alone. It isn’t a happy place to deal with mistreatment, loneliness, and hurt.
Yet, there is hope. Not every woman is out to get you or to do you wrong. That is a lie from Satan.
Advice:
Men don't bother the toxic females. They are toxic.
There is no reason to try to negotiate with them, get sex from them and to make children with someone just because it was fun. That has long-term consequences.
Good fathers instead respect the mother of their children and the kids themselves because they know good leaders bring out the best in everyone around them.
You cannot do that with a toxic mate. A strong person by your side works when you are directly involved in their betterment.

Reason #5: You have a Vision.
A father having a vision for his family is a prime example of why this kind of leadership is necessary in our society. It’s about being empowered, uplifting and a sense of purpose for why the family unit exist.
Let society sort out the rest of the drama, messiness and pain from unstable homes, failing communities and feckless politics.
Your other half is out here. You will find her/you have her if you are already together.
She is a gem, but she needs you. She is made to support (Submit to) you ideas and passions that will take the family somewhere; building land, creating generational wealth, run a business, and/or something the father sets forth.
Reason #6: You demand the best out of your children
Most kids excel with the guidance, mentorship and push of a good father. From musicians, athletes, businesspersons, fathers impact the direction of their children.
These dads coach, teach, train and are present for their kids dreams. They push them through failures, pain, rejection and pivoting to something more.
Healing is not easy but a must. If you are missing your own dad or the relationship was not great, you need to dig deep because we all need more fathers.
Children desire to live up to the expectations of a father that wants nothing but the best from them or out of them.
This builds character in a world where anything goes.
Fathers provide structure, order and rules to protect and that means child know what to do and what they ought to be doing daily.
This gives the entire family unit peace, stability and comfort as the father leads the way.
Reason #7: You are a Servant
Imposing old pains on a new partner is unfair. It may seem sweet, but it can lead to codependency. True paternal leaders demonstrate interdependency, acknowledging that each family member has a role, meets a need, and contributes in their own way.
Love is attracted through loving actions. A father's love holds a unique significance.
One's entire being should not be in conflict with the opposite gender; rather, one should love the mother in unparalleled ways. You are special in this way.
You serve.
You serve your spouse, your children, your career, your Lord, and your community.
Effective fatherly leadership is demonstrated through actions, not just words. It's in the laughter you share with your family, the essentials you provide, and your presence in times of need.
Sex with your loved one is used to deepen intimacy, bringing joy to your marriage.
Men lead by sacrifice, just as Christ did for us. Fathers are the first heroes to their children, displaying enduring strength from the start. Fathers work tirelessly, enduring pain and injustice with resilience, bearing the responsibilities necessary for the ones they love.
You exemplify accountability, take ownership, and teach children that everyone deserves the same treatment they desire, through your service to them, the world, and your community.
Summary
Fathers are essential, regardless of what detractors may claim. Strong fathers truly make a difference.
They create iconic marriages, children, and families by fulfilling the role that God has entrusted to them, a role that only they can perform.
We recognize and appreciate this. That's why Iconic is dedicating this entire month to celebrating you.
A nation relies on that leadership, which begins within you, extends to your family, and radiates into your community.
The world might favor weaker men to facilitate globalism's success. You must not concede by stepping aside. Instead, you, the fathers, must spearhead the counterculture.
You, the dads, are the solution to the challenges we face.
Fathers are that significant. We acknowledge the difficulty, we witness your efforts. We see your love, your time, and your dedication.
We salute you for being Iconic.
