"Fatherhood: What the World Is Getting Wrong and What God Says"
Podcasts > Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow
Saturday, June 20, 2026
It is not your last mistake that defines you. It is your next opportunity to be the man God wants you to be.
In this Father’s Day episode, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow and his wingman Christy Mendelow speak directly to what this day is really about. Not the cards, not the grilling, not the commercial version of fatherhood. The real thing.
The United States has the highest rate of fatherless children of any nation on earth. An estimated 18 million children are growing up without a father. Studies show that the vast majority of school shooters came from unstable or fatherless homes. The enemy knows exactly where to strike—and he has been striking there for a long time.
So, this is the question every man needs to sit with: Are you the man you want to be? Are you the father you should be? And if not—what is stopping you?
Whatever your past, whatever your mistakes, wherever you are right now—with Christ, there is always a next step.
Make time for a conversation that could change how you show up for your family.
