God needs men of integrity
by Carol Clemans –
All men, young and old, need to see the newly released DVD, “COURAGEOUS.” The subtitle of DVD is, “Honor Begins At Home.” One of the biggest problems we have in America is absentee fathers. Even if the father is in the home, the problem can be he is emotionally detached from his wife and children.
The description on cover of DVD says, “Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes and their partners are confident and focused, standing up to the worst the streets have to offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are prepared for: fatherhood. When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, fears, faith, and fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God…and to their children?”
Integrity with God, self and others is the core value all men need. The influence of the father for good or evil is branded on each child’s heart. I counsel adults today who have deep painful emotional issues because of an absentee dad, an abusive dad or an emotionally absent dad. This creates the problem of a distorted father-God concept. If a birth father is absent, abusive or passive, it leaves the child without a firm foundation upon which to build their lives at every level. When their natural father is not there for them in a positive manner, it’s difficult for a child to trust and believe that their heavenly Father loves sight unseen.
These men are challenged with integrity on the job and within their families. Every husband and father faces these issues. It takes a strong man who has deep roots in Godly values to stand for righteousness at every level of his life. I highly recommend this DVD.

We are all so very tired of the nonsense of the false conceit of the “emotionally absent dad”. Please spare us. Will you read up on fatherlessness and absent fathers just for a few minutes before you write nonsense like that next time? The issue is not about fathers being “emotionally” absent from their kids. Anyone could say that about the mommas couldn’t they. Where is your research on the “emotionally” “detached” from their kids fathers? You have none. Why don’t you take some time and read Dr. Stephen Baskervilles, “Taken Into Custody” about how women iniated divorce 85 to 90 percent of the time where children are present. Or, how about the legion of false accusations women are known by research now to accuse men of falsely, at their attorney’s advice, in order to get the kids and the 18 year windfall of child support. This immediately criminalizes the father who was “emotionally” present fathering his kid until the “state” took him from his house and his kids. This production and circumventing the facts of “absent fathers” is getting to the sickening stage now because the reason for absent fathers is overwhelmingly caused by “no-fault”, “family courts” who answer to no one and who receive hundreds of millions of dollars a year from the fed. government if they collect a certain amount of child support. Well, guess what the judges and lawyers do in the family court? They take dad out of the picture immediately and he becomes an instant “absent dad”. You, and everyone else that writes your articles on absent fathers need to research a few minutes with all due respect.
