There are four areas of life that every man faces every day. And the way they are handled will bring either joy and success or pain and failure.

We have sat with somber, heavy hearts after hearing the words of all Johnny Depp endured through his marriage to Amber Heard. The trial between him and Heard has been televised, which in many ways feels like a breach of privacy, but in other ways, has provided the wakeup call the world needs for those men who experience abuse as well.

What does being an engaged father look like? Of course, it means being present. It also means taking the time to be intentional in how we communicate with our daughters. Here are a few things every daughter needs to hear from her father.

Men don't do things for the applause of others; they do the right thing. So, what does God expect from men? Why did He create men and women different? What role is a man to play within family, society, and especially in God's kingdom?

You can make a commitment today to be the best husband you can be. Let this commitment to love your wife guide your daily decisions and your actions.

If every faithful wife could write her sweet hubby a love letter of what she really needs, I believe it would consist of her beloved husband praying for and over her. That’s because she knows prayers are important and truly powerful.

This day is a rare invitation to rest and recharge. Make sure you ask us how that can best be accomplished. Give us the guilt-free space we very infrequently receive to invest in doing something we enjoy just for ourselves. Maybe it's going to a movie, taking a hike, free time at the gym, a pedicure, time to read a book, a meet up with someone special, or whatever else helps to fill our cup so that we can show up everyday as moms with grace and love.

In my experience, many of the men who attend small groups say it’s their favorite time of the weak. Nevertheless, it can be a tough hurdle for some to overcome. Here are some of those reasons:

If you are a stressed dad trying to hold it all together, know you are not alone. God is with you, and He will strengthen you. God says, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)
