In the Bible the word gfatherh appears 1,484 times. As a father filling what is considered the worldfs gmost powerful position,h President Obamafs statement that being a father to Sasha and Malia is the most important job he has underscores the profound, sacred responsibility and loving heart-set of fathering. Spiritual fathering goes beyond its biological definition to include those who provide, protect, coach, teach, mentor, inspire through example?to name a few. Perhaps no one said it more perfectly as did Jesus in John 15:9: gAs the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.h? I invite all those in the role of fathering to contemplate his words.
