Redeeming Fatherhood When It's Broken - Jim Daly's Story

The story of Jim Daly’s childhood is in many ways heartbreaking. The father figures in Jim Daly’s life all struck out. His biological father was an alcoholic and left when Jim was 5. His step-father was a militaristic disciplinarian who abandoned the family when Jim’s mother died. His foster father wasn’t any better, and accused Jim of trying to murder him at age 9.
Yet in this brokenness, Jim found redemption. By God’s grace, Jim found life, hope, and peace through Jesus Christ. He found a new Heavenly Father. And his desire is to see other men who had broken relationships with their fathers to find this same redemption.

Focus on the Family having liberal ads before their videos.... Taking money and profiting off of abortion. You can change the Google algorthim, but even if not... It'd be better to accept no money than to promote such liberal ideas. This is modern Christianity. This is the love of money.

[@thesaintmustwalkalone708]

@Kristen Creecy when I wrote this, no ads were required. You did not have to monetize a video. Again, we should not be profiting off of sin... Especially when we have an option not to.
